Happy Friday!!! Summer is right around the corner, and now is the time to get your playlist ready for those sunny days at the pool and the beach. As always, we have your weekly round-up of the hottest releases this week from a variety of genres, A-List names, and rising stars. 

ELENA ROSE, Sistek, Mazzarri - SINTIGO 

Venezuelan-American artist Elena Rose drops “Sintigo,” a sultry Afro house–meets–Latin pop track with Chilean producer Sistek and DJ Mazzarri. The song arrives fresh off her fiery performance of “Orión” with Boza at Premios Tu Música Urbano, where she also took home a win for “Afrobeat Song.” The romantic track is perfect for the summer dance floors and days at the beach.

Esteman, Daniela Spalla - El Acuerdo

Esteman and Daniela Spalla join forces on “El Acuerdo,” a beautiful Spanish ballad steeped in '70s nostalgia. The cinematic video features the duo as poker rivals, with a drag queen adding a bold nod to LGBTQ+ visibility. Esteman, known for his theatrical performances and advocacy, and Spalla, celebrated for her emotive lyrics and indie-pop sound, bring their distinct styles together in this fun collaboration.

Oscar Maydón x Peso Pluma - Asquerosamente Rico

Mexican singer Oscar Maydon drops his debut album Rico o Muerto Vol. 1, a 12-track journey through heartbreak, wild nights, and raw emotion. Blending pop, regional Mexican, and Latin folk, the project features major collabs with Peso Pluma, Junior H, Fuerza Regida, Anuel AA, and more. "Asquerosamente Rico" marks his and Peso's third collaboration and is another banger. 

Los Ballers, Clarent, Rauw Alejandro - FORNI

Rauw Alejandro spotlights rising Puerto Rican talent with “Forni,” his new collab with Los Ballers and Clarent. The yummy track dropped right after Rauw wrapped three sold-out shows at Miami’s Kaseya Center, capping off his U.S. Cosa Nuestra World Tour

Kapo - KORAZONG

Colombian rising star Kapo drops “Korazong,” another heartfelt Afrobeat-infused track that celebrates love’s power. Following the success of “Ohnana” and “UWAIE,” the song comes with a dreamy video filmed in Miami, directed by Jean Lafleur and creatively led by Emilio Holguín. It marks another infectious track for the singer, taking over Latin music with a new sound. 

Belinda & Thirty Seconds To Mars - Never Not Love You

Belinda's long-awaited fifth studio album, Indómita, is here, marking her return after Catarsis (2013). Blending pop, urbano, and regional Mexican sounds, the project reflects her growth and artistic reinvention. “It’s one of the most ambitious and personal albums of my career,” she says, pairing bold visuals with a Renaissance-meets-modern aesthetic that explores love, heartbreak, and duality through light and shadow. It includes an epic collaboration with Thirty Seconds To Mars, "Never Not Love You."

Ozuna - SIRENITA 

Ozuna kicks off summer with “Sirenita,” a breezy, Afrobeat-infused track that blends his signature style with a tropical, flirty vibe. He's one of the many Latino artists tapping into the beauty in Caribbean sounds. 

QUITAPENAS - QUE TUMBAO 

Inland Empire's QUITAPENAS releases their anticipated album, ¡Retumba!. It comes with "Que Tumbao," a track that will instantly have you dancing with a powerful message and music video edited by Richie Velazquez, and artwork by his artist alter ego, Deladeso.

Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild 

Sabrina Carpenter breaks the internet with her oh-so-catchy and relatable "Manchild." With 1.5 million views on YouTube in 4 hours, there is no denying the short but sweet singer's power. It comes with an epic, hilarious, and visually pleasing music video that should inspire all artists to think big and get creative. 

Ed Sheeran - Sapphire

Ed Sheeran's upcoming album Play is set to release on September 25, 2025. Until then, he's releasing some fire singles, like "Sapphire," another feel-good, loved-up, and catchy track featuring Arijit Singh. "Sapphire was the first song I finished for Play that made me know where the album was heading. It's why I finished the recording process in Goa surrounded by some of the best musicians in India. It was an incredible creative process," he said of the track. "I shot the music video with Liam Pethick and Nic Minns across my India tour earlier this year, we wanted to showcase the beauty and breadth of the country and its culture."

rusowsky - KINKI FÍGARO (ft. Jean Dawson)

Madrid artist rusowsky drops his debut album DAISY, a deeply personal project built almost entirely in his bedroom. “The whole record feels impulsive and scattered,” he says. “It truly reflects the way I am and how I make music… There’s always a common thread: love, nostalgia, and melancholy directed toward a figure I call ‘DAISY.’”
