Camilo opens a new chapter with “El árbol,” the first single from his fifth album, “Para cuando sean mayores.” The 13-song record, dedicated to his daughters Índigo and Amaranto, is due next Wednesday.
The Colombian premiered the song on Thursday at the Premios Juventud gala in Marbella, Spain. It is a pop track about memory and the moments people experience for the last time without knowing it.
Wisin takes a different route, turning reggaeton into a classroom with “La universidad del perreo.” The Puerto Rican presents himself as “Professor Sandunga” on the 12-song album. A campaign led more than two million people to enroll on a website before they knew the project was actually a record. The album includes genre pioneers such as Ivy Queen, Jowell & Randy, Don Chezina and Trébol Clan, as well as Mexico’s El Bogueto.
Chino Pacas, 19, released “Que sigan llegando las pacas V2,” his third and most experimental album. Inspired by action cinema, its 13 songs tell a story of revenge and ambition while blending Mexican music with hip-hop and hyperpop. Fuerza Regida, Calle 24 and FLVCKKA appear on the project. Billboard included Chino Pacas this year on its 21 Under 21 list.
Calle 24 continues a narrative built around destinations with “Te perdí,” recorded with Eddy. The song follows “Suiza” and “Berlín,” which presented a plan that has now become the memory of a life that never happened. Puerto Rico’s Jon Z also moves into a harder phase with “Omillaje,” a trap track with CONEP and TUTU, deep bass and dry percussion produced by Yondoe. The song is part of “Loco,” which will complete the trilogy begun with “Real” and continued in March with the 22-track “Humilde.”
