This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin poll — curated with key recommendations by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features a number of new albums, including Greeicy’s Candela, Christian Nodal’s Bandera Blanca, Alvaro Diaz’s Omakase, Xavi’s Dosis and more.
Notably, Greeicy delivers a 12-song set that gathers her most recent hits and some new gems. In Candela—where she proves that she’s a flame that can’t be turned off—the Colombian artist taps into different musical genres including merengue (“Discúlpeme Señor”), bachata (“Estas ganas”), vallenato (“No Era Mío”) and kizomba (“Donde Como y Cuando”). She also reels in Rawayana, Cultura Profética, La Guru and more as collaborators on her fourth studio album.
“Everything that has happened in my life lately is right here in this album; everything that has driven me to keep going is my candle—that spark we all possess, the one that propels you forward, the one that ignites you—the one that, just when you say, ‘I’m never going to make it through this,’ something comes along and lights it up again,” she expressed in a statement.
Meanwhile, artists such as Elena Rose, Jombriel and Fito Paéz dropped new music this week.
The most recent New Music Latin poll was topped by Lenny Tavárez’s romantic salsa “Pa’ Lo Bonito” with more than 65% of the vote. Which release this week do you think is best? Give these new releases a spin and vote for your favorite new Latin music release below.
