But Vega is also a recording artist in his own right - one is increasingly unafraid of taking risks in his off-center pop. The only collaboration on Llegando al Rancho is the Jessi Uribe-assisted “El Alumno.” - J.R.Ĭolombian singer-songwriter Juan Pablo Vega is best known in some circles as a producer. The focus track, “Tu Adiós Como Tequila,” continues that same line of pain and despair, with Favela drinking his sorrows away as he remembers an ex-lover. “Alguien Especial,” for example, has soul-striking guitar riffs and tuba melodies accompanying the story of a person who’s disappointed due to lost love. The Banda-style melodies are an ode to his ranchero roots - but his lyrics say otherwise, dedicated, for the most part, to love and heartbreak. G.F.įavela dedicated his time to music during the quarantine lockdown, penning all 13 songs that form his third studio album.


The subsequent set didn’t disappoint, with Maverick’s raspy voice and powerful guitar riffs narrating an existential crisis over 12 emotionally heavy and sonically psychedelic tracks - a testament to the young talent’s ability to create empathetic lyrics that define and reflect his generation’s fears and anxieties. When 20-year-old Mexican folk singer Ed Maverick released “niño” as the focus track to his debut album Eduardo - opening with the cryptic lyrics, “Life is a beast that is slowly killing me, and I don’t know what’s going to happen” - listeners were intrigued instantly. Guests on this album include Spanish queens Mala Rodriguez and Lola Indigo. The Chilean artist best explains it herself as “a narrative journey because everything has a reason.” Singles such as “Tiene Sabor,” “Agua Segura” and “Dormir” easily set the tone for Todas Seremos Reina, an album with dance-pop/R&B fusions, injected with Rosenthal’s powerhouse vocals and empowering lyrics. Todas Seremos Reinas (We’ll All Be Queens) is an ode to womanhood from start to end, with songs that will remind women they are beautiful, perfect, fierce, and strong. That’s why I named it ‘K.O.’ - because it was like the last punch to the heart during this whole process.” The Mexican singer says the way the set’s 11 tracks, including “Friend de Semana” with Luisa Sonza and Aitana, and the Sebastian Yatra-assisted “No Bailes Sola,” are organized is in the exact order that everything was occurring in her life. “I used it to drain everything I had in my heart. “With this album, I knocked out all of the bad stuff that was killing me, emotionally,” she said to Billboard, calling it an album that represents healing. On K.O., Danna Paola makes it her mission to empower herself and others through her music. “Frustration invokes a lot more creativity.” A modern-day troubadour whose rhythmic pop fusions are the canvas for his sincere lyrics, Camilo says Mis Manos is “an exploration of all sides of my identity.” Mis Manos secured Camilo his second top five entry on the Top Latin Albums chart. “The most beautiful things come out of the most complex moments,” the Colombian singer-songwriter told Billboard. Home to 11 tracks, where Camilo experiments with new rhythms such as bachata, calypso, cumbia, and even perreo, Mis Manos was born during the global pandemic, while in lockdown with his wife, actress-singer Evaluna Montaner.

The 12 collabs here are unexpected, ranging from Cuban veteran Eliades Ochoa and icons Toquinho and José Feliciano to alt up-and-comers like Omar Apollo and Ed Maverick. Tangana raps and sings, accompanied by traditional Spanish guitar that intertwines with electronic loops and handclaps. Instead, Tangana turns inwards in El Madrileño (The Man From Madrid), an homage to his hometown that digs deep into the roots of Madrid’s essential music. It would have been easy to stay the course with more rap and reggaetón tinged collabs. Tangana made a name for himself as a rapper both hardcore and cerebral, appealing to music snobs and the masses alike, co-writing with Rosalía and zipping up Spain’s charts.
