Mexican\/Salvadoran-American singer-songwriter Niko Rubio<\/strong> releases her highly anticipated new EP, Sunday Girl<\/em>. \u201cSunday Girl is my single girl manifesto,\u201d says Rubio. \u201cI\u2019m Latina Carrie Bradshaw, and this is my \u2018Sex and the City\u2019\u2026 This is the first project where I wrote songs straight from my journal entries and didn\u2019t even think about it. I wanted to play with a new style of songwriting. I used to love to be poetic, but now I wanna be cheeky too. It\u2019s felt like I\u2019m a nun taking off her habit. A girl now 25, becoming a woman and experiencing all that life has to offer. It\u2019s been very fun. Wrote some good songs.\u201d The standout, \u201cPink Starburst,\u201d is sensual, confident, and driven by her ethereal voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n Rauw Alejandro<\/strong> is tapping back into his roots with \u201cDando Vueltas,\u201d a World Cup-ready track created in partnership with Buchanan\u2019s Scotch Whisky ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The song is built around the rhythm of f\u00fatbol itself, literally. Using a modified football boot, they turned kicks, steps, and on-field movement into sound, giving the track this pulse-like energy that feels made for stadiums. It also hits a little deeper knowing his backstory, before music, Alejandro was pursuing football in Puerto Rico\u2019s youth leagues, so it’s a full circle moment.<\/p>\n Spanish singer Quevedo<\/strong> and his deep voice have released his third studio album, El BAIFO<\/em>. It includes a collaboration with Puerto Rican legend\u00a0Elvis Crespo<\/strong> titled “LA GRACIOSA.” It’s a colorful track that’s perfect for the sunny days ahead. The music video is set on a beach with Crespo showing off his dance moves, as Quevedo finds him in the dunes. It’s a cross-generational collaboration showing how younger singers have been respecting and eager to work with the legends that came before them.\u00a0<\/p>\n Edgar Berrera’s<\/strong> skills as a producer continue to shine with Grupo Frontera’s<\/strong> “Ojitos Bellos.” The bass line suddenly veers off into an old-school jazzy funk that is nostalgic and surprising but perfect. It’s another example of how regional music is expanding with the help of producers like Berrera, ready to take chances and experiment. \u00a0<\/p>\n KAROL G<\/strong> surprise-dropped \u201cDespu\u00e9s de ti\u201d with Greg Gonzalez<\/strong> after debuting it live at Coachella during her history-making performance as the first Latina to headline the festival. The track leans into grief and absence with a soft, haunting, and stripped-back sound, with Greg\u2019s signature dreamlike energy meeting Karol G\u2019s more restrained, vulnerable delivery. After the performance, it made waves online, with fans sharing memories and stories of loss.<\/p>\n Nine-time Latin GRAMMY winner Fonseca<\/strong> teams up with Juanes<\/strong> on \u201cAntes Que El Tiempo Se Vaya.” The singers both bring that signature Colombian blend of pop, rock, and folk, but it\u2019s Juanes\u2019 raw, guitar-driven touch that gives the track its edge.<\/p>\n Brazilian singer and actress GIULIA BE<\/strong> zooms in on friendship heartbreak with \u201cbandera blanca,\u201d the standout from her new Spanish-language EP. The track explores how she leans into distance and silence as a form of closure, choosing peace over confrontation. Written by GIULIA and produced by Jeff Shum, it\u2019s one of her most stripped-back, emotionally direct songs to date. She also co-directs the music video alongside Olivia Mucida and Lennyn Salinas.<\/p>\n Carlos Vives<\/strong> and Juan Luis Guerra<\/strong> finally come together on \u201cBuscando el Mar,\u201d and it leans all the way into their strengths with warm, coastal storytelling. Inspired by One Hundred Years of Solitude<\/em>, the track has vivid imagery and a sense of longing running through it. Musically, it feels fresh, blending Vives\u2019 vallenato-pop with Guerra\u2019s tropical polish.<\/p>\n Madonna<\/strong> surprised festivalgoers when she jumped on stage with Sabrina Carpenter<\/strong>, weekend 2, to debut their new song “Bring Your Love.” That same day, she dropped her own single “I Feel So Free” from her highly anticipated album Confessions On A Dance Floor: Part II,<\/em> which is set to release on July 3, 2026. The track has a nostalgic club sound that will have you ready to dance like no one is watching in the middle of the dance floor with strobe lights.\u00a0<\/p>\n Argentine rapper Trueno<\/strong> drops his fourth studio album, TURR4ZO<\/em>, stepping straight into his roots, with the title track “TURRAZO” built around “T\u00edrate un Paso” by Los Wachiturros,\u00a0<\/strong>a barrio anthem that helped shape his early sound. \u201cTURR4ZO\u201d is loud and nostalgic, drawing on cumbia villera and 2010s street culture while flipping it through his own perspective.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.hola.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s Friday, which means we have our weekly round-up of fresh music to get your weekend started.
