This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music, including releases by GALE, Rauw Alejandro, Yami Safdie and Kapo in collaboration with Camilo, to name a few.
Puerto Rican singer-songwriter GALE offers the rebellious and honest “Ciao!,” a synth-pop track she described in a statement as “fun and sexy.” She added, “‘Ciao!’ is about stepping out of the gray area with someone, putting down the ultimatum and saying, ‘Either you decide now … or ciao!’ Sonically it’s my synth-pop throwback anthem, made to dance, let go and show off all your weird moves. It’s also unapologetically direct.”
Meanwhile, Rauw Alejandro offers “GuabanSexxx,” an advance track from his upcoming album, Cosa Nuestra: Capítulo 0. The new song is a riveting fusion of house, bomba and plena — a continuation of the superstar’s tropical flair.
Other new releases this week include Siddartha’s “Tú y Yo y Tú,” Kapo and Camilo’s collab “Esta Es Tu Casa Nena” and Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho team up with Peso Pluma for “Haciendo Memoria.” In the Sept. 5 poll, Melanie Santiler and Cimafunk’s “Ese Besito” won with more than 86% of the vote.
