This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music, including a handful of new albums by Belinda (Indómita), Elvis Crespo (Poeta Herío) and Óscar Maydon (Rico o Muerto, Vol. 1).
Mexican star Belinda further expands her música mexicana foray with a full-length album, her first música mexicana project that follows a handful of singles she’s released over the past few years that marked her “Beli Bélica” era. “I dreamed it, I shouted it and I cried it in silence. Today I sing it,” she wrote in an Instagram post when announcing the release of the LP. “It is for all those who dare to be themselves. Thank you for so much love!”
Meanwhile, merengue star Elvis Crespo released Poeta Herío, the first album under indie label Puntería Records. About the set, the Puerto Rican hitmaker said in a statement: “This album came from my soul. It’s a project that emerged from a time in my life when I felt deeply hurt due to a separation. I transformed that pain into what I know how to do — music — and it became my form of therapy.”
Other new releases this week including Ozuna’s “Sirenita,” Elena Rose’s “SINTIGO,” Kapo’s “Korazong” and Bad Gyal’s “Da Me.” Morat’s Ya Es Mañana won the latest best new Latin music release poll with nearly 60% of the vote.
