Latin Mafia will cap off their first international tour, Te Odio y Te Extraño Mucho (I Hate and Miss You So Much), with a summer performance at the iconic Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, where they will close out the shows on The Grove stage on Aug. 3.

“We’re just so excited; it’s the first time we’re closing a stage at such an important festival,” Milton de la Rosa, part of the Mexican indie-pop trio, tells Billboard Español. “When we went to Coachella [in 2024], we also just said, ‘Today is just another day doing what we love, another day doing what we were born to do.’”

Their appearance at the U.S. festival — headlined this year by Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, TWICE and Korn — marks the pinnacle of a successful concert season for brothers Mike de la Rosa and twins Milton and Emilio, who have seen their fanbase grow exponentially in Mexico and the U.S. over the last three years.

The excitement they generate will also take them to the stages of another major music event this fall, Austin City Limits, where they will again share the lineup with Sabrina Carpenter, as well as Hozier, The Strokes, Doechii and Empire of the Sun, among others.

In their home country, Latin Mafia has achieved previously unimaginable milestones, such as selling out three shows at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes on May 31, June 1 and July 5, reaching 63,500 tickets sold, according to promoter OCESA. Months earlier, the trio — originally from the border city of Monterrey — held a free listening party for their 2024 debut album, TODOS LOS DÍAS TODO EL DÍA, at the same venue.

“Five years ago, I came here to see Twenty One Pilots and waited in line for nine hours, and now we’ve done four shows here,” Emilio says excitedly.

As one of the most original acts in the current Latin pop scene, Latin Mafia has won over fans with their emotional songs and fusion of rhythms such as pop, reggaeton, R&B and trap.

The Te Odio y Te Extraño Mucho tour included 38 concerts in just a few months, 17 of which sold out in the U.S. and 14 in Mexico, according to their promoters. The tour featured an innovative 360-degree stage setup with screens and closed-circuit cameras. At their May 31 show at the Palacio de los Deportes, guest stars included Spanish artist Rusowsky, Chilean singer Akrilla, and Guatemalan-American rapper Jesse Baez, who made another appearance at the July 5 show. Mexican-American artist Omar Apollo also performed and will release a duet with the band titled “Hecho Para Ti” on July 24.

In addition to the thrill of hearing them live, the trio’s music racks up thousands of daily streams on digital platforms. Last weekend, the Mexican Association of Producers of Phonograms (Amprofon) awarded them a Platinum Record for “No Digas Nada” and four Gold Records for the songs “Flores,” “Se Fue La Luz,” “Siento Que Merezco Más,” and “Julieta.”

“It’s overwhelming, but in another way, it’s also very exciting to think about what’s coming next,” says Milton de la Rosa. “We’ve been touring and performing for over half a year now, and it’ll end at some point. We’re eager to get lost again, in a way, because we’re hungry to decide where we’re going next.”

Justin Bieber started his Thursday (July 10) by dropping his anticipated and long-teased new brand SKYLRK. The apparel line includes everything from slides and sunglasses to hoodies and tanks. As it turns out, the drop was only an appetizer for what was to come.

By the afternoon, Bieber was teasing an entirely different project: his seventh studio album. Throughout the day, he has posted photos to Instagram of billboards in various cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Reykjavík (Icelandic singer Laufey commented on a post of the lattermost, writing: “Skeifan represented”). The black-and-white images show Bieber standing shirtless in front of wife Hailey Bieber, who appears to be holding the couple’s son, Jack Blues, though the 10-month-old’s face isn’t shown.

Other images show a black background with the word “SWAG” in all caps — likely the title of his forthcoming project — while others show the lengthy track list, with 20 titles listed.

Bieber worked on the album with longtime collaborator Harv, as well as Carter Lang and Eddie Benjamin, among others. Sources say the project leans into Bieber’s R&B roots, but is more experimental in its production and instrumentation.

And despite the album’s seemingly long playtime, sources say Bieber has been working on a ton of new music — and has another, more pop-inspired album on the way.

The superstar has charted 11 projects on the Billboard 200, including eight No 1s: My World 2.0, Never Say Never: The Remixes (EP), Under the Mistletoe, Believe, Believe: Acoustic, Purpose, Changes and Justice.

On the Billboard Hot 100, he has collected eight No. 1 hits. The last time he topped the chart was in 2021 with “Stay” featuring The Kid LAROI; that same year, he also hit No. 1 with his smash “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon.

Harry Daniels gave his all while surprise-serenading Mariah Carey at a recent event — and though she wasn’t sold at first, the superstar eventually gave the TikToker her approval.

In a recent TikTok, Daniels gets Carey’s attention as she and her posse make their way out of the new Apple Music Studios in Culver City, California, last week. “I’d give my all to have just one more night with you,” the influencer loudly belts as Mimi — dressed in a glittering floor-length dress and sunglasses — gives him a confused side-eye.

As Carey’s team ushers her out, the vocalist eventually turns over her shoulder to give Daniels an approving, “Yes!”

Daniels — who looks shocked after Carey makes her exit — wrote in his caption, “she is literally so beyond goated i cannot believe.”

The clip comes about a month after Carey dropped her first new single in years, “Type Dangerous,” which became her 50th career entry on the Billboard Hot 100. She’s gearing up to release a new album soon, which she revealed at the July 1 Apple Music event is finished. “What is next? The album coming out,” Carey told Apple Music hosts Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden. “I don’t wanna tell too much about it because I just don’t want to reveal the whole thing. It’s finished.”

The Songbird Supreme is just the latest star Daniels has serenaded in his long-running TikTok series. He’s also taken everyone from Kamala Harris to Ariana Grande, Katy Perry and Billie Eilish by surprise with his on-the-spot performances, which Daniels leveraged into his own singing career by dropping debut single “I’m Him” last October.

Goyo has unleashed her debut studio album, Pantera, which is inspired by a revolutionary movement, a blockbuster movie and most importantly, her personal experiences. 

Released Thursday (July 10) via Sony Music Latin, the 14-track set — home to previously released singles “Tumbado,” “Salta Por Mi” featuring Luister La Voz, and “Volver a Verte” featuring Zaider — is named after the large, wild cat because “it’s a very instinctive and elegant animal, and all of that resonates with me,” the Colombian artist tells Billboard. 

Beyond its characteristic connection, Pantera is powered by the Black Panther Party, the nationalist and socialist organization founded in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, aimed to protect Black communities, and also Goyo’s admiration for Wakanda, the African nation with advanced technology within the Marvel universe.  

“I learned about the movement through Tupac, because I was a huge fan of his when I was younger and while researching his life, I realized that his mother, Afeni Shakur, was part of Black Panther,” she elaborates. “Learning about the entire political and social movement was quite beautiful for me.” 

On the album, Goyo — who gained fame as part of the Latin Grammy-nominated group ChocQuibTown — explores the sounds of Afrobeats, delivers empowering lyricism and collaborates with key artists such as Pras, Afro B, Greeicy and J Noa, resulting in a very sensual, personal and passionate project. 

“This is a world to me. Ever since I left Chocquibtown, the first thing I thought about for my first album was a panther,” she expresses. “It’s a safe place for me to start finding that artist who was never lost, but always amalgamated into a group. Finding that individuality through ‘Pantera’ was one of the best exercises I’ve ever done.” 

Below, Goyo shares anecdotes to three standout tracks on Pantera.

“KeRoWe” feat. Pras

“This song was produced in London, and I still can’t believe I’m collaborating with one of the members of the Fugees. I really like the lyrics because when I thought about them, I thought about a woman telling her ex-boyfriend to not do the same things to other women as he did to me. That topic interests me a lot.”

“Cuaderno”

“This is an R&B song I wrote in a hotel in London. I was writing in my journal because two years ago, I started therapy, and my psychologist recommended I start journaling. There were many moments in my life where I screamed what I felt, and she taught me how to write down my emotions without having to act them out. I think it’s a really nice resource to learn how to let go. In this song, I try to explain that I was never alone, and in those moments I had my journal. I felt accompanied by my own thoughts.”

“Que Se Prende” feat. DFZM

“This song is a mix of Amapiano and Bounce. Bounce is music from New Orleans, and Amapiano is music from the provincial and it’s where you can rap the most. There are types of Afrobeats where you can create more melodies. My brother [producer Slow Mike] and I were in the kitchen, and he told me that amapiano would go well with bounce. My mom was cooking, and we started creating the song. I invited DFZM because I love his voice. It’s like Snoop Dogg’s voice, and he also comes from the Pacific.”

Goyo is confirmed for the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Week taking place from Oct. 20 to 24 at the historic Fillmore Miami Beach. Spanning over 30 years and recognized as the most influential week in Latin music, the event will once again celebrate the heartbeat of Latin music and culture with four days of panels, marquee conversations, roundtables, showcases, networking and activations.

Tickets are on sale now at BillboardLatinMusicWeek.com. The full schedule and lineup will be revealed in the coming weeks.
