Yami Safdie and Maluma’s ‘Felicidades,’ & More: Vote for the Best New Latin Music Release This Week
This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin poll — curated with key recommendations by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features new music including albums by Daddy Yankee (La Postal) and Wow Popy (Mundial). It also spotlights fiery collaborations such as Los Dos de Tamaulipas and Frontera on “Piquito”; Santana and Natalia Lafourcade on “Hermano”; and new Latin couple La Joaqui and Tiago PZK on “Obsesión,” produced by Ovy on the Drums.
Most notably Yami Safdie and Maluma teamed up for the first time on “Felicidades” — a cumbia-pop fusion that celebrates a person who walked out of a toxic relationship. On the catchy collab, both the Argentina songstress and Colombian superstar encourage those who are back on the market to embrace their self-worth and new, single life. “Congratulations on having made the best decision of your life […] because it truly is better to be alone than to live a fake love,” goes the empowering chorus.
Daddy Yankee surprised fans with the release of his new studio album La Postal, a 15-track set that includes collaborations with Cardi B, Myke Towers, and Danny Ocean, among others. From pop to bachata to reggaetón, the Puerto Rican artist — who is The Latin Recording Academy’s 2026 Person of the Year — delivers feel-good and romantic songs.
“I wanted to tell the real story of love: what we experience, what we feel, and what we often don’t know how to express. A love that isn’t always perfect or fake. A love that is raw and real, with its moments of happiness, its contradictions, its wounds, its goodbyes, and its healing,” the artist said in a press statement. “This album comes from the real experiences we go through in a relationship: true love and true heartbreak, without filters and without pretending. It talks also about the love of family, the discipline of loving yourself and the love that comes from having faith. These are stories I have lived, witnessed and carried with me.”
