Let’s party

Happy Friday! It’s been an exciting week for new music, so let’s just jump into it. Check out our weekly round-up of new music from a variety of genres, A-List artists, and rising stars.

1. Karol G - CONTIGO

Karol G has people ready to fall in love after dropping her new song with Tiesto, “CONTIGO.” While the song could have stood alone, it comes with a beautiful music video starring Young Miko as Karol’s love interest. The Puerto Rican singer does not sing on the track, but the chemistry between her and Karol G is undeniably electric as they tell a love story. Karol G’s goal with the music video, according to her press release, is that “everyone has the right to celebrate love in all its forms.”


2. Grupo Frontera - Quédate Bebé

Chart-topping musica Mexican stars Grupo Frontera releases their first single of the year, “Quedate Bebe.” “Quedate Bebé” showcases the group’s traditional sound with modern lyrics telling a story about someone begging their partner not to leave. Produced by award-winning producer Edgar Barrera, the track has an infectious sound and dramatic lyrics. It comes with a music video filmed on a beautiful rooftop in Los Angeles.


3. Beyoncé - TEXAS HOLD ‘EM

Queen Bey surprised fans this week by dropping two country songs. Beyoncé’s “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” has fans calling country radio stations asking they play the fire track. The new sound continues to show off her unstoppable talent with fans ready to ho down. Considering country music in the US’s history, and the fact that the modern-day banjo is a descendant of a West African instrument, called the Akonting, her entry into country is epic during Black History Month.



4. Greeicy - Vete

The track “Vete,” comes with a stunning music video showing off a new sound for Greeicy. After welcoming her first child Kai in 2023 she began to view the world different, inspired by the strength of women. Yeliana’s character is based on a single mother working to make her career dreams coming true while battling challenges such as an unexpected pregnancy and relationship troubles, per a press release.


5. Dua Lipa - Training Season

Dua Lipa drops the fun dance track “Training Season” “I had been on a string of bad dates, and the last one was the final straw. The next morning I arrived to the studio to Caroline and Tobias asking me how it all went and I immediately declared “TRAINING SEASON IS OVER,” and like the best “day after” debriefs with your mates, we had a lot of laughs and it all quickly came together from there,” she said in a press release.


6. Ariana Grande - yes, and? With Mariah Carey

Ariana Grande has always been compared to Mariah Carey when it comes to her impressive vocal range. They come together again following their track, “Oh Santa!” with Jennifer Hudson for a remix of Grande’s “yes, and?”
