This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new albums from artists such as Danny Ocean, Kany García, Eladio Carrion and Fonseca, to name a few.

Dubbing it the “pop of the future,” Danny Ocean presents his third studio album, Reflexa. Navigating through heartbreak, lust, love and the desire to live authentically, the 12-track set is perhaps Danny’s most personal album yet, but it’s also his most sonically experimental — in it he fuses his signature pop sound with electro and Middle Eastern influences. 

In “García,” the title track of Kany García’s new album, the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter pens a letter to herself, addressing the young, vulnerable Kany and the present day star, equally vulnerable (“Tengo miedo de meterme en esta ola de ficción/I’m afraid of losing myself in this wave of fiction”).

Other new releases include Piso 21 and Wisin’s “La Misión”; Silvestre Dangond and Carlos Vives’ “Tú o Yo,” and more.  

Last week, music fans voted for Belinda and Natanael Cano’s new single “300 Noches” as their favorite music release of that week. Coming in closely behind was Anitta’s new album, Funk Generation, which had 41 percent of the vote. Beli and Cano’s heartbreak track — produced by Marcelo Rivera Levy, Mr. Naisgai and Ángel Sandoval — beat out other new releases such as Yuridia and Los Ángeles Azules’ “Felicítalo”; Rels B and Junior H’s “Un Desperdicio”; Bruses and Humbe’s “Bestia”; Aitana and Sebastián Yatra’s “Akureyri”; Danny Ocean’s “Ley Universal” and Marc Anthony’s new album, Muevense.

This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — feature fresh new releases from artists such as Ryan Castro, Greeicy, Nicky Jam, and Ángela Aguilar, to name a few. 

Marking the first single off of his forthcoming studio album, Ryan Castro surprised fans with his first-ever salsa tune named after his alterego, “El Cantante del Ghetto.” “Loves like yours can’t be bought, they can’t be compared, they can’t be known/ If I gave my all to make this relationship last/ Look me in the face and tell me you don’t know me,” the Colombian reggaetón star sings in what’s also a tribute to the late salsa icon Héctor Lavoe. 

Another artist who also dropped a homage track was Nicky Jam, who reeled in Trueno for “Cangrinaje.” The Jorge Milliano-produced song tributes reggaetón’s vieja escuela beats and samples Nicky’s very own 2002 track “Mi Yal Eres Tú” in collaboration with DJ Playero. In the collaboration, the Argentine rapper brings a fresh and modern touch, effortless swapping between his melodious vocals and fiery rap verses. 

Meanwhile, Colombian newcomers Tei Shi and Damian released new studio albums. The former with Valerie, a 13-track bilingual set that navigates her life experiences, and where she rediscovers her artistic and personal essence through R&B, indie and pop rhythms. The latter with El Tropical Feeling (Vallenato & Cumbia Edition), a 10-track set that the artist describes as a love letter to his native Colombia. 

Last week, Danna Paola’s album CHILDSTAR won the weekly fan poll with over 53 percent of the votes. Who should win this week? Vote among other new releases from Greeicy, Brytiago, Rauw Alejandro, and many more, below:
