Sebastián Yatra returns with his new ballad “Los Domingos,” marking his first solo release since early 2023. This romantic acoustic pop song captures the initial stages of a relationship: “Fate put us face to face/ I waited for you, and I waited long enough/ And now I do, I just need a yes, and just like that/ I’d start with a love song,” he croons in Spanish. The music video further complements this theme, creatively depicting the Colombian performer riding a motorcycle to meet a special someone, blending fantasy and optimism perfectly.

Another release this week is Christian Nodal’s seven-track Pa’l Cora EP. 01, with four new songs, including his collaboration with upcoming Cumbia pop singer Estevie on “Un Besito Más.” The track is an upbeat Tex-Mex-styled tune about the conflicting emotions of wanting to move on while still being drawn to a lover from the past.

Mexican-American star Becky G is back with another corridos tumbados on “Cómo Diablos” which paves the way for an upcoming album Encuentros, due out October 10. The heartbreak single packs a punch with her unfiltered delivery, while blending traditional Mexican musical elements with a fiery passion. “Baby, what was it?/ Why the hell did you leave?/ If I gave you more than you asked for/ Explain to me/ How the hell did you do it/ To be happy when I’m still sad,” she sings in Spanish with gut-wrenching emotion.

Other new releases this week include Andrea Bocelli and Karol G’s “Vivo Por Ella,” Elsa y Elmar’s “Drogada de Emociones,” Jhayco’s “Grecia,” and more. Who should win the poll this week? Give these new releases a spin and vote on them below.
