DannyLux Drops ‘Soltera’ & More Best New Music Latin

New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard’s Latin and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week’s picks below.

DannyLux & 8onthebeat, “Soltera” (Warner Music Latina)

DannyLux wasn’t sure how his fans would react when he released his first EDM track, “House of Lux,” as part of his 2023 album DLUX. But once it was out, the sierreño artist previously told Billboard he was surprised to see just how much his fanbase had embraced his experimental song. Now, he’s keeping the momentum going with “Soltera,” featuring producer 8onthebeat, an EDM-powered, club-ready track that has summer anthem potential. The head-bobbing tune showcases DannyLux’s chameleonic ability to feel right at home with this style, which is completely different from his guitar-led sierreño ballads. “Soltera” is just a preview of his forthcoming house music project. — GRISELDA FLORES

Pj Sin Suela, “Nunca Es Suficiente” (El Efecto Secundario)

In an ode to self-love, PJ Sin Suela unleashes “Nunca Es Suficiente,” produced by David B and penned by the artist himself. The track laces bolero music with lo-fi beats, and transitions into a smooth hip-hop melody, while shedding light on the importance of embracing who you are and what you have to offer. “It’s never enough/ If you shine with your own light/ Don’t compare yourself, there’s no one like you,” the Puerto Rican singer chants in the chorus, reminding listeners that not everything you see on social media is true and that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side… but nonetheless, life is beautiful and every soul is unique. “Nunca Es Suficiente” is the third single off of PJ’s upcoming studio album Toda Época Tiene Su Encanto set for Sept. 6.  — JESSICA ROIZ

MORAT, “Antes de los 30 (En Sueño Desde Madrid)” (Universal Music Group)

Colombian band Morat releases sentimental ballad “Antes de los 30,” the sequel to their track “Antes de los Veinte.” The song was recorded live at the start of their Antes de Que Amanezca Tour in Madrid on June 21. In the lyrics, the group reflects on the passing of time and the inevitable existential crisis that comes with the arrival of a new decade of life, while they themselves are in need of finding meaning and purpose. “We decided to update ‘Antes de los Veinte’ and create ‘Antes de los 30’ to make it more relevant to what we are doing and experiencing today, hoping that many of our fans can relate to it as well,” the band says in a statement. — LUISA CALLE

Tiago PZK, Anitta & Emilia, “Alegría” (Warner Music Latina)

Tiago PZK continues to demonstrate his musical versatility by dabbling in baile funk, alongside Brazilian superstar Anitta and Argentine sensation Emilia. Living up to its name, “Alegría” (which means joy or happiness) includes fun lyrics in Spanish and Portuguese (and even some English) and an irresistible drum beat that invites you to dance. The captivating collaboration is a great complement to Tiago PZK’s eclectic album GOTTI A, released on July 4, with rhythms including merengue, salsa, cumbia, hip-hop and R&B — and the song, which had previously been unavailable to listen to on streaming services, has now officially joined the album’s tracklist as a playable song on DSPs. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS

ARON, “Especial” (UMG Recordings)

After releasing his first single “Invisibilidad,” actor and singer-songwriter Aron is honoring a special love with his new single “Especial.” The high-energy track showcases the Spanish-German Elite star in a rock-inspired mood, combining his raspy vocals, electric guitars and a strong drum beat. In the song, he reflects on a love that has moved on by singing, “It seems like I don’t even know what ‘I love you’ means/ This song is especially for you,” repeating the sentiment throughout the track. — INGRID FAJARDO

Kim Loaiza & Codiciado, “QuesoXTE” (Space Music / Warner Music Latina)

Brimming with conviction and brash energy, Kim Loaiza and Codiciado fuse their talents in the defiant corrido, “QuesoXTE,” a clever twist on “Qué Soporte.” The track erupts with an invigorating blend of guitars and brass, setting the stage for a narrative steeped in resilience. In a brisk two and a half minutes, the pair swap bold lyrics about ephemeral success and handling envy (“Me queda claro que la envidia es una enfermedad/ Y de verdad espero que se mejoren,” the YouTuber quips), supported by robust arrangements that amplify the song’s confrontational vibe. Codiciado’s seasoned voice alongside Loaiza’s cheeky sass forge a dynamic interplay, crafting an anthem that celebrates overcoming adversity and seizing the moment. — ISABELA RAYGOZA
