benny blanco, Selena Gomez, Becky G - Te Olvido
Fans saw Becky G and Selena Gomez filming at the Santee Alleys months ago and were wondering what was on the way. Now the wait is over with their song "Te Olvido," which is a part of Benny Blanco's upcoming album, Hermoso. Blending cumbia with pop, Selena and Becky trade vocals over the infectious track, which turns a relationship ultimatum into a catchy “la la” hook. Directed by STILLZ, the Los Angeles-set video celebrates Chicano culture with lowriders, street parties, and cameos from Danny Trejo and skateboard legend Paul Rodriguez.
Niko Rubio - tokyo
Niko Rubio is kicking off a new chapter with “tokyo,” a dreamy, psychedelic track that brings trip-hop, reggae, pop, and soul into the mix. Produced by Austin Ward and Lester Mendez, the song was already making noise before its official release, with teasers racking up millions of views across TikTok and Instagram. “‘tokyo’ is a song about tripping,” Rubio shared. “I really wanted to make a sexy dreamy debut album, and ‘tokyo’ is my dreamy psychedelic intro to my trip hop // reggae album, and I’m super happy people really seem to get it, and I’m so excited!!” The release follows her Sunday Girl EP and offers the first taste of the sound she’s exploring on her debut album.
KAROL G - MATADORA
KAROL G is kicking off her Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour era with “MATADORA,” a fiery reggaetón anthem made for summer. Fueled by confidence, sensuality and female empowerment, the track sees the Colombian superstar stepping into her power and setting the tone for what’s next.
BELLACO X TOKISCHA - LO LENTE
Tokischa joins rising Dominican artist Bellaco on “Lo Lente,” a dembow collaboration that will have you ready to dance and sweat. The track brings together Bellaco’s place in a new generation of Dominican urban artists with Tokischa’s global presence, celebrating the sound and continued evolution of dembow beyond the Dominican Republic. The release comes ahead of her performance at Hard Summer Nights in Los Angeles on Saturday.
PEDRO SAMPAIO, Cachirula, Loojan - TÍMIDA, SANTA Y PELIGROSA
Brazilian artist, producer and DJ Pedro Sampaio teams up with Mexican reggaeton duo Cachirula & Loojan for “Tímida, Santa y Peligrosa,” bringing Brazilian funk together with trap and reggaeton. The cross-cultural collaboration arrives as Pedro continues his Brazilian Chaos Tour, which has taken him across 13 countries, and follows a massive performance in Monterrey, where he played for more than 65,000 people and shared the stage with J Balvin.
Delilah - Malibu
Delilah is slowing things down with “Malibu,” a dreamy, melancholic pop ballad that pairs warm guitar melodies and soft keys with minimal production. Switching between English and Spanish, she uses the feeling of swimming against the current to tell the story of a relationship that’s getting harder to hold onto. The song shows a more vulnerable side of Delilah after the R&B-leaning energy of “Na Na Na.”
MARCA MP - TODO EL AÑO
Marca MP turns heartbreak into a year-round struggle on their new single, “Todo el Año.” The song follows the lingering pain of a love that refuses to fade, no matter how many months pass. Its music video shows a digital version of Chato that shows the contrast between his success onstage and what he’s dealing with behind the scenes.
Mariposa & FFLean - Euro Flow
MARIPOSA and Brazilian-Dutch artist FFLean are joining forces for MARILEAN, their new collaborative EP arriving September 4. Giving fans a taste of what's coming, the duo dropped “EURO FLOW,” a high-energy track that mixes dembow and Latin rhythms with glossy Euro club synths. The project was born after the two connected in Amsterdam's underground club scene, bringing their shared Latin roots and love of electronic music together while celebrating female empowerment and community.
Kapo - QUEEN (Criminal)
Kapo continues building out his creative world with “REINA (KRIMINAL),” a new single produced by Kidsmvrt and R.P Morgan. The track expands on his Afro Rosa concept, exploring how softness and strength, sophistication and authenticity can coexist. Its cinematic video, filmed in Mallorca, Spain, brings that duality to life by moving between the city and the coast, ultimately uniting both sides of the story.
Erick Brian, Dale Pututi, Nesty - Efímero
Erick Brian reconnects with his Cuban roots on “Efímero,” teaming up with Dale Pututi and Nesty for his first dive into reparto. Driven by the genre’s catchy rhythms, the collaboration opens a new chapter for Brian, bringing a sound rooted in Cuban culture into his evolving musical style. “This song is incredibly personal because it allowed me to reconnect with my Cuban roots while exploring a completely new sound. Collaborating with Dale Pututi and Nesty made this experience even more special, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear this new chapter of my musical journey,” Brian said in a press release.
Clareen - Buenas
Clarent is closing out summer with “BUENAS,” an energetic mix of reggaetón and trap created with longtime collaborator Turbo. The track gives another taste of the Puerto Rican artist’s upcoming debut album as he prepares for his first headlining show at El Choli on October 23. It also comes during a big year for Clarent, who earned his first Premios Juventud nominations in three categories: New Generation – Male Artist, Best Urban Mix, and Best Urban Trap Song.
