New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week’s picks below.
CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, “GIMME MORE” (5020 Records)
After shocking onlookers with their steamy (violent?) kiss in the media room after winning five 2025 Latin Grammys, the Argentine outlandish duo return with “Gimme More” — a three-minute funky electropop track brimming with hedonism and existential dread. Over quirky synth keys that sound ripped straight from Mario Bros., they grapple with the hollowness of endless desire: “La mujer de mi vida no me sirve más, quiero más.” Three-quarters in, the song takes a cheeky turn with a Cuban son-like sample, underscoring their relentless quest for “more” — love, wealth, pleasure — and how none of it satisfies. The accompanying video matches the chaos, with the pair wreaking havoc in Las Vegas: they take shots out of their trophies, hit strip clubs, shoot at ranges and gamble with feral energy. — ISABELA RAYGOZA
Tainy & Karol G, “Única” (NEON16/Republic Records)
After working together on songs such as “Mañana Será Bonito” and “Tropicoqueta,” Tainy and Karol G join forces once again in “Única.” Sonically, the track laces enchanting string instruments, such as the harp, and synthetic reggaetón sounds, evoking feelings of remembrance and melancholy. Backed by Karol G’s dreamy vocals, the nostalgic lyrics express a strong connection and feelings of missing someone with whom special moments were shared, and describe how certain scents can spark these memories, regardless of the distance. “You’ll remember that night with me was unique/ Your mouth kissing me all over in a unique way/ So many people in the world and that night I was the only one/ We gave it our all knowing I was going to be the only one,” the Colombian star weeps. — INGRID FAJARDO
Sebastián Yatra & Xavi, “LA FKN VIBRA” (Universal Music Latino)
There’s something about Xavi doing reggaetón music that just makes sense—and “LA FKN VIBRA” is proof of that. For his new single, Sebastian Yatra teams up with the Música Mexicana sensation on a hard-hitting and captivating reggaetón track with subtle Regional Mexican requintos co-produced by Manuel Lara and Andy Clay. On the track—which can easily be an end-of-year party anthem or gearing us for summer 2026—Yatra and Xavi sing about “the f–king vibe” that only those who know how to live life to the fullest can understand. “We’re ready to have a blast, to hang out/Tonight I’m gonna steal the prettiest girl of them all,” they chant in the flirtatious chorus. — JESSICA ROIZ
Peso Pluma & Tito Double P, “intro” (Double P Records)
Peso Pluma and Tito Double P had for months hinted at an upcoming joint project, and “intro” seems like the perfect set up for the highly-anticipated reunion between the two cousins — who’ve already proven that big things happen when they team up. Peso and Tito unleash a riveting corrido — rooted in their horns-heavy signature corrido sound that catapulted them to stardom in the first place — that presents the pair as a dynasty. At the top of the music video, starring Mexican star Kate del Castillo, says, “They are not enemies, they are reflections, two halves that cannot exist without the other … in every dynasty, the power isn’t in just one, it’s in the union.” Peso and Tito go on to sing about a shared hustle, rising individually and also together. — GRISELDA FLORES
Carolina Ross & Denise Gutiérrez, “El Target” (FONO/Universal Music México)
Carolina Ross presents this new single as another preview of her upcoming album, accompanied by mariachi. The combination of these two voices with very different styles is quite interesting. Over violins that lend elegance and touches of sierreño, Denisse Gutiérrez, vocalist of the rock band Hello Seahorse!, infuses the feeling a ranchera requires from a contemporary perspective. “You don’t give to me, you only take from me/ That love weakens me/ In short, you always aim to kill/ I’m the target, I have to get out of your way,” says part of the song, which speaks of the complexity of love and how, sometimes, wounds become lessons. It’s a solid collaboration between two great talents who represent female power in Mexican music. — TERE AGUILERA
Codiciado & Carín León, “Déjame Dormir” (CodiRecords)
Codiciado and Carín León, two of the most recognizable and influential contemporary voices in Mexican music, join forces on this emotional ballad about heartbreak. Driven by guitars, metals and potent female backing vocals, and fused with rhythms like blues and R&B, “Déjame Dormir” is a plea to end a relationship that can no longer continue: “It wasn’t you, it was me/ Who was tired, fed up with this relationship/ Please, my love… And if you’re so tired and you feel like it/ Close the curtains, I beg you, and let me sleep,” say part of the lyrics. The track is a preview of Codiciado’s upcoming album, Así Es La Vida, slated for release in early 2026. It’s a powerful collaboration you’ll easily have on repeat. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS
León Larregui, “Cometas” (Universal Music México)
As Zoé prepares to take their MEMOREX + RESEXEX + MÁS 2026 tour to the U.S., its lead singer León Larregui presents “Cometas,” the first single from his fourth solo album. Weeks ago, he shared an unfinished, preliminary version of the song with his fans. Now, completely mixed and mastered, the track reaffirms the social and political stance the Mexican singer has displayed for years in his role as an artist. This urgent and conscious track emerges as an act of resistance in the face of the current complex geopolitical landscape. Built on an electroacoustic foundation with fingerpicked guitars and synthesizers, it creates a dramatic and immersive atmosphere. “The resistance of the people against frivolity/ Resilience is an olive tree,” Larregui sings reflectively. The single’s cover art is a clear reference to the work of artist and activist Banksy, featuring an image of a child flying a kite in the colors of the Palestinian flag and the distinctive lettering used by the British artist on his graffitis. — NATALIA CANO
