New music this weekend: Mexican artist Oscar Maydon released “Música en mi jetski,” his fourth studio album, on Friday, featuring J Balvin as a guest artist, in a week of Latin music releases that also features new tracks from Farruko and Kendo Kaponi, Shakira, Danny Ocean, Jasiel Nuñez, Ednita Nazario, Yeri Mua, Joss Favela, and Lucy Vives.
Oscar Maydon Sets Sail for Summer with New Music
Mexican artist Oscar Maydon released “Música en mi jetski,” his fourth studio album, featuring 21 tracks. The album blends reggaeton, trap, dancehall, and tropical rhythms, featuring “Poema”—a collaboration with Colombian artist J Balvin—as one of its lead singles, as well as forays into romantic salsa on “Mezcalita” and “Don Juan.”
Farruko and Kendo Kaponi revisit an old feud
Puerto Rican artist Kendo Kaponi and his compatriot Farruko reunited on “Se equivocan,” which revisits a collaboration that began 15 years ago with “Te envidian.” The single, a preview of Kaponi’s album “Apocalipto,” revisits the central theme of that song: that those who boast about knowing everything are wrong.
Danny Ocean Brings New Music to the World Cup
Venezuelan artist Danny Ocean teamed up with the Australian duo Empire of the Sun on “Llego,” a FIFA Sound release tied to the World Cup. The track combines the duo’s electronic pop with Ocean’s Latin pop.
Jasiel Nuñez is traveling with Peso Pluma
Jasiel Nuñez, the first artist signed to Peso Pluma’s Double P Records label, released “Nómada,” his fourth album featuring 21 tracks, on Thursday. He performs the title track, “Adicción,” and the album also features Paloma Mami, Danny Lux, Rawayana, and Marca MP, among others.
Ednita Nazario Is Reborn from Her Scars
Veteran Puerto Rican singer Ednita Nazario released “FuegoAlmaVida,” her 31st album. The album, recorded in Puerto Rico, revolves around vulnerability and what the artist describes as a period of rebirth.
Yeri Mua Shows Off Her Glow
Another new track comes from Mexican artist Yeri Mua, who teamed up with Régulo Molina on “Bling Bling,” a song that blends urban beats, corridos tumbados, and reggaeton to explore the theme of self-esteem. The track follows the artist’s recent collaborations, such as “Un pacto” with Lucky Brown and “Baddie” with Alemán.
Joss Favela Picks Up the Pieces
Mexican singer-songwriter Joss Favela released “La jarra” on Thursday, another single from his upcoming album, “Confesiones.” The song, a tale of heartbreak set to mariachi music, uses the metaphor of a broken jug to describe a broken heart, accompanied by trumpets, guitarrón, harp, and violins.
Lucy Vives’ “Palpita”
Colombian singer-songwriter Lucy Vives released “Palpita,” an alternative pop single with a beat that explores the restlessness of moving forward and finding one’s own path. The track continues to reveal the soundscape of her highly anticipated debut project, following her previous releases “Mascacielo” and “Nido,” reported Agencia EFE.
