FloyyMenor & J Balvin’s ‘Banshee’ & More: Which Is Your Favorite New Latin Music Release of the Week?

This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music, including new albums by Eslabon Armado (Vibras de Noche II), Ovy on the Drums (Cassette 02 Chile), and newcomer Joyce Santana (Nada Persona). 

Staying true to its sad sierreño roots, Eslabon Armado delivered a 15-songs moody set that navigates different emotions from love, loss, nostalgia, and moving on. The only collaboration on the album is “Esa Noche” with Macario Martinez, the viral folk singer from Mexico who went from street cleaner to hitmaker earlier this year. Vibras de Noche II, is the follow-up to the group’s Vibras de Noche LP from five years ago, which spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Albums chart.

Meanwhile, Anitta dropped an interesting blend of British electronic music with punk and reggaetón melodies in “Larissa,”  a song from her recently released documentary Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta. “My music has always been about strength, right? Mainly feminine strength. But, talking about this track and also the film, I feel like I discovered a new type of strength by allowing myself to be fragile, to fail and to make mistakes,” the Brazilian superstar expressed in a press statement.

FloyyMenor and J Balvin, on the other hand, unleashed “BANSHEE,” a song named after one of the popular sports cars in Grand Theft Auto, and which has the similar catchy synth melodies that made Floyy’s No. 1 Billboard hit “Gata Only” a contagious track.  Lyrically, the full-fledged reggaetón song is about flirting and desiring a girl. The Chilean breakthrough star first teased a team-up with Balvin at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards, where he won Global 200 Latin song of the year for “Gata Only,” his collaboration with Cris MJ.

Other new releases this week include Aitana and Myke Tower’s “Sentimiento Natural,” Majo Aguilar’s “Piel Azteca,” and Peso Pluma’s “RARI,” among others. Who should win this week? Give these new releases a spin and vote for your favorite new Latin music release below.
