With one disc powered by his signature corridos and the second packed with hard-hitting trap and hip-hop songs, Peso’s 24-track Éxodo showcases the Mexican star’s duality and versatility. The star-studded project features guest appearances by Cardi B (“Put Em in the Fridge”), Quavo (“Pa No Pensar”) and Rich the Kid (“Gimme a Second”), among many others.

Éxodo follows Peso’s massive year in 2023, which included the release of his history-making Génesis. The album debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, earning the highest ranking for a Mexican music album on the tally. Earlier this year, the set won the Grammy for best música mexicana album (including tejano).

Maluma has officially entered his regional Mexican music era, and this desert cumbia, titled “Contrato,” with a Tex-Mex flair is a dazzling listen. “I’m really excited to share ‘Contrato’ with all my fans,” said the Colombian superstar in a press release. “It was an incredible experience working with Nuno Gómez and Tés in Las Vegas, a city that has always inspired me. The video reflects that energy, and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.”

Evolving beyond her “.mp3” oeuvre, Emilia officially kicks off her “.mpeg” moment with “La_Playlist.mpeg.” Capturing the essence of the late ‘90s and early ‘00s — a period rich in glitchy, vibrant pop tunes — this Y2K-inspired dance-pop track pays tribute to mixtapes transitioning into digital playlists, all while channeling the spirit of Vengaboys’ “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!” The Argentine star conveys emotions of desire and connectivity with an energetic persuasion, merging her modern style with retro flair.

Her performance ignites a festive mood, transforming the venue into a lively party that even the police join in, embodyihng true Caribbean spirit.

Peso Pluma also debuted his wildly anticipated 24-track album, Éxodo, where the Mexican superstar not only builds off the corridos that made him a superstar, but gets as versatile as can be with trap, dance-pop and reggaetón music.
