Shakira & Beéle – ALGO TÚ
Last weekend, Shakira made history in Mexico City, bringing more than 400,000 fans to the Zócalo. She broke all attendance records for a single live concert in Mexico and used the moment to debut her new song, “Algo Tú,” with fellow Colombian Beéle. Barranquilla runs through the track, from the gaita millo flute to electronic percussion inspired by coastal chandé, blending tradition with a modern pulse. It marks their second collab.
Manuel Turizo x Maluma – Apambichao
Manuel Turizo is proving that 2026 is the year for back-to-back hits with epic collaborations. This time, the Colombian star tapped Maluma for “Apambichao,” a merengue-inspired track that blends urbano energy with vallenato vibes. Produced by CASTA, the song dives into heart-over-head connections. With fun instruments like the accordion, it’s the kind of track that will make your ears light up.
María Isabel – Suiza
Rising Dominican-American artist María Isabel drops“Suiza,” a high-tempo dembow track from her upcoming debut album. Produced by Grammy winner El Guincho, the song leans into her Dominican roots and New York upbringing, blending urban energy with island rhythms. The track arrives with a captivating video directed by Olivia de Camps, celebrating her culture and connection to the DR. She’s an artist you want to keep on your radar.
Juanes, Mon Laferte – Vuelve
Juanes’ 12th studio album, JuanesTeban, is here. Co-produced with Nico Cotton, the conceptual project explores light and darkness, rock and cumbia, spirituality and romance. The 16-track album also features incredible collaborations with Bomba Estéreo, Conociendo Rusia, Rawayana, Vivir Quintana, and Mon Laferte for “Vuelve.” The song is beautiful, and so are their harmonies.
Zell – el infierno en persona
Argentine next-gen disruptor Zell drops his new EP Zelly, and the focus track, “El Infierno en Persona,” says it all. This darker, sharper era is raw, intense, and emotionally unfiltered. The song captures the chaos of loving, or being, someone who feels like hell in human form. It has a unique sound, blending melodic trap with glitchy, hyperpop textures and experimental production.
Man Boy Brown – Golden Ride
Man Boy Brown, the alter ego of Raul Pacheco of Ozomatli, returns with “Golden Ride,” a fun, disco-tinged track rooted in nostalgia and freedom. Driven by bubbly synths, it nods to ’70s acts like Silver Convention and Andrea True. The solo project allows Pacheco to reflect on the music that shaped him.
Joss Favela, Hernan Sepulveda – Vete
Joss Favela is back with “Vete,” a new single featuring Hernán Sepúlveda. The emotionally charged track hits straight to the heart, tackling a goodbye between lovers. “Vete” is a part of his upcoming album Mis Compas El Final, out March 26, which also includes collaborations with Los Dos Carnales and Hijos de Barrón.
Harry Styles – American Girls
Harry Styles’ new album “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.” is out now. It’s one of the most anticipated albums of the year, and shows off a fresh, genre-blending, mature sound with electronic elements. “Good electronic music is so good, you know—especially the melodic aspect. When you’re out at night, it’s such a community, but you’re also watching people have such individual experiences,” he told Runners World. “I wanted to recreate [what] I had on the dance floor, being lost in instrumentation and the musicality. It was so immersive, like, this is how I want to feel when I’m on stage too,” he continued.
