New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard’s Latin and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week’s picks below.
Justin Quiles, Permanente (Warner Music Latina)
Justin Quiles has dropped his new studio album, Permanente, three years after La Última Promesa. The opening title intro, which sets the tone for the 11-track production, finds Quiles opening up about his place in the music industry for the past decade, admitting that he’s in love with his process, that he’s still in the game, and he will always bet on himself. Following the heartfelt intro is the focus track “Tu Ropa,” backed by a melodious reaggetón beat that best characterizes Quiles’ flow. The previously-released single “Boom Boom” in collaboration with Rawayana (and the only feat on the set) continues with its feel-good, reggae vibe.
On the set, the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter navigates electronic music and trap, in addition to reggaeton and perreo. “The idea is to return to something simpler but still disruptive, different, and attention-grabbing,” he expressed of his album in a press statement. “That’s how I want to move in my career, without fear of playing with new sounds and showing my fans my versatility. Like a vandal, I am a rebel with my writing, as you will hear in some of my songs on this album. The music is raw, bold, but fun!” — JESSICA ROIZ
Camila, Regresa (Sony Music México)
Mexican band Camila is back with its first studio album in five years, Regresa, renewing its pop sound by playing with other rhythms while maintaining its original essence. The 10-track set includes everything from romantic ballads to rock progressions, shades of blues and even mariachi — in songs like “Diamantes y Amaranto” and the powerful “Corazón en Coma” with Eden Muñoz — and emotional lyrics in the best style of the trio. An anthem to second chances, “Por Si Me Vuelves a Querer” arrives as the focus track. “We have worked hard to create something truly special,” Pablo Hurtado, who integrates Camila with Mario Domm and Samuel “Samo” Parra, said in a press release. “This album is not only a return to our roots, but also a leap forward to the future.” — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS
Eden Múñoz, “NTP” (Sony Music México/EMC Music, Inc.)
Edén Muñoz is the type of artist that likes to keep you on the edge of your seat not knowing what route he’ll take for his next project. Just last month, Muñoz had released a cumbia-norteña (“No Sabes La Que Te Espera” with Luck Ra). With his new single, titled “NTP,” he does a 180 delivering a signature norteña fused with elements of banda and tumbado, a pompous production that’s very much who Muñoz is as a producer, with a mindset that always seems to be go big or go home. “NTP (don’t worry), I’m going to be well, worse things already happened, I’d be a fool if I fall for again, she’ll really get to know me,” he sings in the chorus. “NTP” is a preview from his upcoming new album, Edén, due Aug. 15. — GRISELDA FLORES
La Doña, “Confesiones” (Empire/La Doña)
Backed by a full banda ensemble, La Doña challenges conventional gender norms and delves into the intimate details of an infidelity fueled by mezcal in “Confesiones.” The song combines the honesty of traditional corridos with her poetic flair, while also showcasing her genre versatility — an artist who has long dabbled with reggaetón and experimental Latin pop. “I spent the first 20 years of my life singing rancheras and corridos so it feels empowering to be able to finally integrate that part of my life with my identity as La Doña,” she says in a press release. This second single follows “Mejor Que Amarte,” both of which will be part of her upcoming debut, Los Altos de la Soledad, due September 6, an album that will feature boleros, cumbia rebajada, banda, and reggaetón and cover themes of “forced migration, of falling in and out of love, of standing up against genocide, of fighting to maintain space in a as a brown girl in an inhospitable homeland,” she adds. — ISABELA RAYGOZA
JAZE, “Mil Procedimientos” (Sony Music Entertainment)
Peruvian freestyle rapper JAZE shows his singer-songwriter side with his new single “Mil Procedimientos.” JAZE fuses rap lyricism with indie and pop elements to create an eclectic mix full of soul and funk. Musically, a strong bass line stands out that marks the song’s melody along with the piano, while the lyrics navigate between thoughts and existential uncertainties. “‘Mil Procedimientos’ lands and with it an immense liberation. “This track previews my third album, which I have been preparing for you for so long,” he shared on his social media. The song was produced by Nicolás Btesh and Diego Mema, and the video, recorded in Mar del Plata, Argentina, tells the story of a sailor who that cleverly connects with the message of the song. — LUISA CALLE
