Camilo, Anuel AA, Wampi & 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, including Christian Alicea’s new album Swingkete Vol. 1—Maratón, Camilo’s “Maldito ChatGPT,” and Gerardo Ortiz’s comeback single “Échame el Grito,” to name a few.
Camilo’s new single, “Maldito ChatGPT,” is a progressive house track that gives a clever twist to today’s technology with artificial intelligence. In the song, produced by Trooko and co-written by the Colombian artist and Jeffrey Peñalva, Camilo shares relationship advice he received from his AI friend. “You’re not for me/ ChatGPT told me/ Who knows me better than I know myself/ And I asked him again/ But he said no and I wanted him to say yes,” he chants in the far-too-relatable track.
Meanwhile, Alicea’s first album under Rimas Entertainment is a marathon of tropical gems that best honor his beloved Puerto Rico. Fusing traditional styles such as bomba, plena and salsa with cumbia and Afrobeat, Swingkete is an album that easily cements Alicea’s role as a leading force among the new generation of salsa hitmakers.
Other new releases this week include music from Anuel AA, Myke Towers and Jasiel Nuñez. 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:
