Nicky Jam, Natti Natasha & More: Which Is Your Favorite New Latin Music Release of the Week?
This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Espa?ol editors — features fresh new music from artists including new studio albums by Nicky Jam and Jhay Cortez.
This week, Nicky Jam dropped his sixth studio album Insomnio, three years after his set Infinity. In a 14-track set that includes fiery collaborations with Feid, Eladio Carrión, Sean Paul, and Luar La L on the focus track “La Cyber,” Nicky takes fans on an ultra-personal journey that was inspired by his late-night creativity.

“The name ‘Insomnio’ came about because many of the album’s songs were born in the tranquility of the night, a moment without distractions where my deepest thoughts found their voice,” the Puerto Rican artist expressed in a press statement. “But within that same calm lies the whirlwind of partying until dawn.”
Jhayco also released his first album in three years, a three-part set with 29 songs called Le Clique: Vida Rockstar (X): “Le Clique,” represents the family, “Vida Rockstar,” the movement, and “X,” the hits. For his new project, Jhayco reeled in collaborators such as Peso Pluma, Yandel, and DJ Khaled, to name a few, and as Billboard Espa?ol’s Isabela Raygoza describes, it “weaves together the threads of rock, reggaetón, and everything in between […] transforming the artist into a genre alchemist.”
Other new releases this week include Grupo Frontera & Gabito Ballestero’s “Pienso En Ella”; Natti Natasha’s bachata “Tu Loca,” produced by Romeo Santos; and a dreamy new version of Elena Rose’s “Me Lo Merezco.”
Last week, Sebastian Yatra’s “Los Domingos” won the poll, bringing in more than 70% of the votes. Who should win this week? Give these new releases a spin and vote on them below.
