Maria Becerra, TINI, Junior H & More: Who Had the Best New Latin Music Release This Week?

This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music by Junior H; Alejandro Sanz and Rels B; and a new album by Maffio, to name a few. 

A formula that never fails, Maria Becerra and TINI joined forces for the third time on new single “Hasta Que Me Enamoro.” Co-produced by Becerra and XROSS, the track is rooted in an edgy and futuristic Afrobeat and narrates how a girl is in her healing process until she falls in love all over again. “Hasta Que Me Enamoro,” which follows the Argentinean artists’ “High (Remix)” and “Miénteme” collabs, is the closing chapter of Becerra’s Shanina trilogy, one of her alter egos who shape the conceptual universe of her upcoming album.  

Speaking of albums, Maffio dropped his 12-track set R.D.L.D. (Rey de la Discoteca), further solidifying his title as hitmaker. For his new set that includes collaborations with artists such as Wisin, Shaggy, Anitta, KRZ and Benny Adam, the Dominican producer and artist traveled to London, Paris and Amsterdam to bring to life an album packed with Afrobeats, Caribbean melodies, global rhythms and electronic house fusions. 

“It’s my way of honoring the genre that taught me music has no borders, that it is union, that it is red blood running through every human being,” he said in a statement. “This album is my contribution, my voice, my Afro-Latin and tropical essence joining that infinite kingdom that already exists.”

Other new releases this week include music from Junior H, Banda MS and Mon Laferte with Nathy Peluso. Which release this week do you think is best? Give these new releases a spin and vote for your favorite new Latin music release below.
