The Mexican hitmaker is followed by Camilo, Karol G, Shakira, and Keityn with seven nominations each; Bizarrap with six nods; and receiving five nominations each, Pablo Alborán, Bad Bunny, Maria Becerra, Feid, Dave Cutch and Natalia Lafourcade.

The 2023 Latin Grammys — taking place for the first time internationally from the Conference and Exhibition Centre (FIBES) in Sevilla, Spain — will air at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, Nov. 16 on Univision, UniMás and Galavisión in the U.S. and at 10:30 p.m. CET on Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) in Spain.

This week, our New Music Latin roundup — a compilation of the best new Latin songs, albums and videos recommended by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — is powered by new music from Anitta, Fuerza Regida and Kali Uchis, to name a few.

A handful of talented women dropped new music this week, including Anitta, whose sensuality shined more than ever in her new single “Mil Veces.” The melodic Brazilian Funk, part of her forthcoming set Funk Generation, finds the pop star chanting about the ups and downs of a relationship while reminiscing on the “thousand times” she and her lover have been together and how much her desire is still alive.

Kali Uchis, on the other hand, released “Te Mata,” a gorgeous and profound bolero, produced by Josh Crocker and Manuel Lara, where she sings about discovering her self-worth after a toxic relationship. “Me, I am the devil of your story. The one that knew that in order to fly, I would have to find my own wings … I allowed your actions, they hurt me like bullets, the one that cried to sleep and would wake up to continue the nightmare,” she chants. Uchis’ new single forms part of her highly-anticipated Spanish-language album, Orquídeas, on January 12. 

Speaking of albums, Mexican-American group Fuerza Regida unleashed its 30-track set Pa’ las Baby’s y Belikeada, where they embark on a daring and audacious expedition of fearless corridos bélicos with a distinctive drill influence. Featured acts in the album include El Fantasma, Maria Becerra, Marshmello, Gabito Ballesteros, Manuel Turizo, Chino Pacas, and more
