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 Christian Nodal, who teams up with Peso Pluma for his first-ever corrido tumbado, Blessd, Bacilos and Bad Gyal, who dropped her debut album La Joia.
Blessd’s Si Sabe is home to 14 tracks and a true representation of the Colombian artist’s signature innovative reggaetón — al estilo Medellín — backed by sultry and futuristic urban beats. The set, Blessd’s third studio album, includes team-ups with artists such as Peso Pluma, Feid, Ryan Castro and Sky Rompiendo.

Meanwhile, Spanish artist Bad Gyal has unleashed her debut album La Joia, which finds expanding her musical range, with producers such as El Guincho, MAG, Sky Rompiendo and Storch in tow. Bad Gyal recruits Quevedo, Ñengo Flow and Myke Towers, among others, for collaborations.

Other new releases include Bacilos’ tropipop gem “Anoche,” Leon Leiden and DannyLux’s R&B-infused sad sierreño “awitado :(” and Christian Nodal and Peso Pluma’s highly anticipated new collaboration, “La Intención,” Nodal’s first corrido tumbado. Additionally, Ramón Vega and Lasso deliver the dreamy pop ballad “La Mexicana.”

“I am very grateful to him for believing in me, for connecting in that way and for taking the time and energy to be able to make this song together,” Vega told Billboard Español about working with Lasso. “It was something very special.” 

Last week, Kenia Os’ “Bobo” won the reader poll with more than 60 percent of the votes, followed by Daymé Arocena and Vicente Garcia’s “A Fuego Lento.”

Carrión’s sixth studio album, Sol María, is a heartfelt ode to his mother of the same name, but also to his family values and making his parents proud. The 17-track set includes collaborations with Yandel, Rauw Alejandro, Arcangel, Milo J and many more, and navigates a range of genres from Afrobeats to Jersey Club, all while keeping his trap and reggaeton essence intact. 

As he prepares to release his forthcoming studio album in February, Prince Royce surprised fans with the track “Cosas de la Peda” in collaboration with Mexican newcomer Gabito Ballesteros. The heartbreak song, which fuses bachata with música mexicana, is backed by melancholic lyrics about drowning your sorrows in alcohol after a bad breakup. 

Meanwhile, Luis Fonsi presents “Santiago,” the third preview of his next album El Viaje, which is inspired by Latin American cities. Co-written by Fonsi, Mauricio Rengifo, Andrés Torres and Keityn, “‘Santiago’ talks about when in a relationship you feel an obvious disconnection — when they live at opposite poles, but do not dare to accept reality,” he explained in a press statement. 

Other new releases include Ana Tijoux’s “Millonaria,” marking her comeback after a 10-year hiatus, Kenia Os’ “Bobo,” and Lunay, Rusherking and Boza’s “Hora y Lugar,” produced by Revol. 

Last week, Omar Courtz’s “Una Noti” won the reader poll with more than 29 percent of the votes, closely followed by DannyLux’s “Un Día Entenderás.”
