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 Trueno’s TURR4ZO, Draco Rosa’s Olas de Luz, Fonseca’s Antes Que El Tiempo se Vaya and Erick Brian’s Destiempo, to name a few.
In TURR4ZO, his fourth studio album, Trueno delivers a 14-track love letter to his native Argentina—coined after the slang term “pibe de barrio” or “kid from the hood.” Beyond penning ultra-personal songs about identity, his upbringing, his hardships and his road to success, the rapper explored Argentina’s musical roots through a series of samples that blend the country’s folklore and emblematic songs with his progressive rap sound.
Collaborators on TURR4ZO include Argentine powerhouses María Becerra, Rubén Rada, Neo Pistea, Andrés Calamaro and Pity Álvarez.
Moreover, Boza and Beéle teamed up for a new collaborative effort called “Hasta Abajo,” a hypnotic dancehall just in time for the summer; Karol G released “Despues de Ti,” which she debuted at Coachella with Cigarette After Sex’s Greg Gonzalez; and former CNCO member Erick Brian dropped his most conceptual project, Destiempo.
The most recent New Music Latin poll was topped by Baby Rasta & Gringo’s Antes del Romance EP with more than 70% 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.
Editor’s Note: The results of the weekly New Music Latin poll will be posted if the poll generates more than 1,000 votes. This poll closes at 11 a.m. ET on Monday, April 27.
