This week, Fariana dropped her first album in nearly 10 years (and her second set) dubbed Underwater. Home to 19 tracks, the set not only showcases the Colombian artist’s fierce rap verses and dynamic vocal range but also her ability to submerge into different genres. Sonically, she flirts with dembow, merengue, dancehall, and electronic music, and reeled in colleagues such as El Alfa, Sean Paul, Flo Rida, Omar Montes, and Oro Solido, to name a few. 

“I’ve learned to dive into my own world and I’ve understood that even under pressure, I always find a way to do it my way and be a winner. That’s what this album is,” she expressed in a press statement.

Manu Chao—the French-born Spanish musician known for his timeless reggae bop “Me Gustas Tu” (2001)—also delivered a new album, his first in 17 years, titled Viva Tu.

Other new releases this week include Omar Courtz’s debut album, Primera Musa; Chiquis’ “Que Siga Pasando”; Carin León’s “No Me Llores” in collaboration with Manuel Carrasco; and “Una Velita,” Bad Bunny’s surprise song reflecting on Puerto Rico’s political climate.

Cumaná, Venezuelan newcomer MARI also dropped “La Carajita,” which offers a “hypnotizing fusion of urban music and Venezuelan llanero music, subtly transporting us to the countryside through sustained falsetto verses like ‘the street is calling me,’ and bringing us back to the city with forceful drum rhythms, rap and cuatro,” wrote Billboard Español‘s Sigal Arias-Ratner.

This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music from artists including new studio albums by Nicky Jam and Jhay Cortez.
This week, Nicky Jam dropped his sixth studio album Insomnio, three years after his set Infinity. In a 14-track set that includes fiery collaborations with Feid, Eladio Carrión, Sean Paul, and Luar La L on the focus track “La Cyber,” Nicky takes fans on an ultra-personal journey that was inspired by his late-night creativity.

“The name ‘Insomnio’ came about because many of the album’s songs were born in the tranquility of the night, a moment without distractions where my deepest thoughts found their voice,” the Puerto Rican artist expressed in a press statement. “But within that same calm lies the whirlwind of partying until dawn.”

Jhayco also released his first album in three years, a three-part set with 29 songs called Le Clique: Vida Rockstar (X): “Le Clique,” represents the family, “Vida Rockstar,” the movement, and “X,” the hits. For his new project, Jhayco reeled in collaborators such as Peso Pluma, Yandel, and DJ Khaled, to name a few, and as Billboard Español’s Isabela Raygoza describes, it “weaves together the threads of rock, reggaetón, and everything in between […] transforming the artist into a genre alchemist.”
