Bad Bunny has shared a music video for “Tití Me Preguntó,” a track from his fourth solo studio album, Un Verano Sin Ti. The Stillz-directed visual treatment finds the reggaeton star delivering the track — a tongue-in-cheek apology for having too many girlfriends — across a tapestry of New York settings, from the block to the bodega to the barber shop, before he’s kidnapped and spirited away to a rural estate to marry a woman who descends from the clouds in a flowing bridal gown.

"Bad Bunny: The World's Hottest Tour" will take the reggaeton artist across the United States in August and September of this year with dates in Latin America beginning in October.

With the year winding down, looking back on the biggest hits of 2021 is impossible without acknowledging the sound architects who created them—at times without ever meeting the track or project’s other collaborators in person in a post-pandemic world.

Ozuna is one of the most globally successful artists in urbano, a subgenre from Latin America that fuses many different sounds, including bachata.

J. Balvin has a knack for ear-catching collaborations.

As the COVID-19 vaccine continues its global rollout, more and more musicians are feeling bold enough to start planning tours. The latest is Bad Bunny, who will take his latest album El Último Tour del Mundo on the road in early 2022.

In addition to being one of the world's biggest pop stars Bad Bunny has also established a niche wrestling career this year. It may sound unlikely but the former FADER cover star appeared at the WWE's annual Royal Rumble (where he dived off the top rope to take out The Miz and John Morrison) before becoming hype man for Damian Priest.

Bad Bunny has always been open about his WWE fandom, from the wrestling references in his music to putting "Ric Flair" in his video for "Chambea" back in 2017. On Sunday, he took to the stage (and the ring) on the WWE's second-biggest show of the year, Royal Rumble.

Tomorrow, Puerto Rican reggaeton superstars Anuel AA and Ozuna will share a long-promised collaborative project called Los Dioses. It's a welcome turnaround for Anuel since last year, when he announced his retirement from music with an Instagram post.

After dropping the audio earlier this month, Mr Eazi and J Balvin shared the visuals for their latest collaboration, "Lento," on Monday. The Meji Alabi-directed video, filmed between London and Colombia, finds Eazi and Balvin grooving through their respective spaces as they trade verses in English, Spanish, and Yoruba.

The third music video from Bad Bunny's latest album El Último Tour del Mundo is for “HOY COBRÉ," following clips for "DÁKITI" and "YO VISTO ASÍ." This time around Benito hops on the back of his 18-wheeler driven by an animated monster to a remote high fashion outlet run by Snoop Dogg. Bunny manages to get a clerk who tells him not to smoke fired, which is a dick move even if there's no pandemic in the world of the video.

Afropop star Mr Eazi has connected with reggaeton heavyweight J Balvin for their latest single "Lento," a multi-lingual track that serves as the follow-up single to Eazi's Nicki Minaj and Major Lazer-assisted "Oh My God," which dropped back in October. "Lento" sees the pair trade verses in English, Spanish, and Yoruba over bouncy Killertunes-helmed production.

Bad Bunny canceled his previously scheduled performance at last night's 2020 American Music Awards after testing positive for COVID-19, according to a report in Pitchfork. The Puerto Rican artist was scheduled to perform his new single “Dákiti" with Jhay Cortez.

Columbian American singer-songwriter Kali Uchis has shared Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios) ∞, her second full-length album and first Spanish language project. The new album comes with a music video for the bereft, gorgeous opening ballad "la luna enamorada." In stark contrast to the song's gentle instrumentation, the video places Kali Uchis on a chrome-plated motorcycle and sends her on a journey through the universe.

Kali Uchis has never been an artist that pays much attention to constraints of genre or industry, and that's why we're looking forward to the Wednesday release of her sophomore album Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios) ∞. The album is Kali's first Spanish-language project, and today another single has emerged.
