This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin poll — curated with key recommendations by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features a number of new albums, including Mau y Ricky’s Ricky y Mau, Young Miko’s Do Not Disturb: Late Checkout, Tito Double P’s ACOMODO, Grupo Frontera’s Con Dolor and more.
Ever since becoming a breakout star with “La Curiosidad” in 2020, Jay Wheeler has been dubbed “La Voz Favorita” (the favorite voice)—his alter ego that today gives name to his new studio album.
Home to 24 tracks, including “De Lejitos” that reached No. 12 on Hot Latin Songs chart in April, the album is retrospective and reflective of Wheeler’s career, but also a celebration of his present. On the set, he effortlessly travels from R&B to trapsoul to reggaetón, and even salsa on “Rubio”—a salsa in honor of his late grandfather. For La Voz Favorita, Wheeler collaborates with Mora, Luar La L, Marcelo Rubio and Abraham Mateo, to name a few.
“I wanted to make my fans proud by giving them the romantic songs they love while also experimenting with different sounds,” the Puerto Rican act said in a press statement. “This album has a little bit of everything, and to me, that’s what makes it ‘La Voz Favorita.’ Every time I listen to it, it reminds me of when I first started calling myself ‘La Voz Favorita.’ It became part of who I am and how fans know me.”
Meanwhile, artists such as Myke Towers, Luis Enrique and RaiNao dropped new music this week.
The most recent New Music Latin poll was topped by Billboard’s May Latin Up-And-Coming Artist of the Month Jombriel and Jotta’s saucy perreo “Combi Completa” with more than 87% of the vote. Which release this week do you think is best? Give these new releases a spin and vote for your favorite new Latin music release below.
Editor’s Note: The results of the weekly New Music Latin poll will be posted if the poll generates more than 1,000 votes. This poll closes at 11 a.m. ET on Monday, June 1.
