This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music, including Silvana Estrada’s “Dime,” Chino Pacas’ ultra-personal album Cristian and Rauw Alejandro’s “Buenos Términos,” to name a few.
“Dime” is the latest single that previews Estrada’s upcoming album, Vendrán Suaves Lluvias, setting the tone for the LP. “Some of these songs are covered by madness while others represent the absolute peace I found at the end of the process,” the Mexican singer-songwriter said in a statement. “From the first song to the last, I tried to create a journey that connects us with joy and movement. I wanted strength and hope to be the guiding thread throughout the album.”

Meanwhile, Venezuelan artists Corina Smith and Lasso join forces for “Mi Ex No Quiere a Nadie,” powered by raw and visceral lyrics. “This song is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck in a half-relationship, because the other person was still emotionally tied to their ex,” Smith said in a press release. Lasso added, “There are songs for falling in love, for moving on … this one is for when you’re caught in the middle — when you know something’s wrong, but don’t yet know how to walk away.”
Other new releases this week include Banda MS and Silvestre Dangond (“Regalo De La Vida”), Juanes (“Cuando Estamos Tú Y Yo”) and Javiera Electra (“del campo a Mar”). In the July 25 poll, Eslabon Armado’s “Dame Un Chanze” won with nearly 72 percent of the vote.
