Kenia Os, Manuel Turizo & More: Vote for the Best New Latin Music Release This Week

Trending on Billboard This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin playlist - curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors - features fresh new music including Arcángel’s eight studio album La 8va Maravilla , Codiciado’s heart-wrenching “Todo Pendejo” and Joaquina’s pop ballad “pelinegra,” to name a few. On his 20-track set, Arcángel not only celebrates his 20th anniversary but also showcases his two-decade evolution that goes from his signature reggaetón and R&B sound to a more experimental side: banda, Jersey club, pop, afro house, merengue, you name it. On a personal level, the Puerto Rican artist-who collaborates with Daddy Yankee, Ricky Martin and Grupo Firme, among others-declares this set his “sober album,” becoming the first set he creates while not being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. “If for 20 years I created music in a not-so-healthy way, making music during very dark times, imagine what I can do now that I’m sober and feeling better personally,” he told Billboard in a recent cover story. Also on a new career high, Kenia Os delivered “Belladona,” an avant-garde electronic track that’s sophisticated, provocative and witty. According to a press statement, the song, co-written by the Mexican pop star, “follows a femme fatale who asserts control over love and its consequences.” Also new this week is Manuel Turizo’s “Por Un Pendejo No Se Llora,” a sensual bachata about a woman who’s not loved correctly.
