Jessy Rose – Unfaithful (MP3 Download)

Jessy Rose Unfaithful Infiel

New York singer Jessy Rose entered the scene earlier this year with her debut bachata single "Te Amo," thrilling us with the rich texture of her soulful melodies.  Today she presents us with an unusual glimpse into the thoughts of an "Unfaithful" cheater who is guiltily examining her situation.  On one hand the song expresses an appreciation for the trusting partner who is being cheated on, yet the fact that she refers to this man in the third person ("I love his trust") while addressing her … [Read more...]

Kewin Cosmos – Encuentro y Olvido EP

Kewin Cosmos Encuentro Olvido EP EYO

Smooth, dark, and full of emotion, the opening notes of Kewin Cosmos’ new EP Encuentro y Olvido (EYO) are captivating from the very start.  This is raw and heartfelt Spanish R&B, where every breath is real, and every lyric vivid.  The project generally features piano-accompanied romantic ballads, but you will at times hear dub-step and dance elements.  If this is your first encounter with Kewin’s music, I encourage you to listen to his interview to gain a better understanding of his … [Read more...]

2NYCe Ft. Fito Blanko, Fulanito, & Sito Rocks – Esta Fiesta (All Stars Remix)

2NYCe Fito Blanko Fulanito Sito Rocks Esta Fiesta

  Four of Miami's most notable mambo artists join us today for the remix to 2NYCe's Latin party track "Esta Fiesta."  From the very first moment, we are transported to the nightclubs of Miami as 2NYCe weaves a tale of an exciting party, its dedicated DJ, and the hot new mambo track that he is about to perform.  The video is filmed from the audience's perspective and you get a great feel for what it would be like (or is like) to watch these artists perform live. Each "all star" is given a … [Read more...]

Gocho Ft. Yandel – Amor Real

Gocho Yandel Amor Real

The Spanglish dancehall track "Amor Real" has been a rapidly rising hit this end of 2012, so it is with great pleasure that we bring you the music video!  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Gocho, his hit single "Dandole" was a club favorite back in 2011 and it was inevitable that he would sneak out a hot new track this year as well.  "Amor Real" features Yandel from the duo "Wisin y Yandel," who are arguably the most talented and undeniably the most notorious reggaeton duo to date.  … [Read more...]

Enrique Iglesias Ft. Daddy Yankee & Niko Eme – Finally Found You Remixes

Enrique & Daddy Yankee

Latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias released the video for his popular new song "Finally Found You," which is a danceable pop ballad that fits his style well.  The original rendition features Boston rapper Sammy Adams, who doesn't appear until around two and a half minutes into the song, but his presence helps provide a late spark of energy and a dash of contrast to Enrique's lines.  Did Enrique's alluded sex scene and departure from the girl he "finally found" add anything to the video?  In my … [Read more...]

J Quiles – El Demonio Son Los Hombres (MP3 Download)

J Quiles

Few events are more exciting to me than when a group of aspiring young musicians, artists, producers, and promoters are able to pool their talents and create a buzz in their home city.  I watched this happen in Orlando, FL, back when the reggaeton scene was taking off, and several of the mainland Puerto Ricans in this city really impressed me with their music.  First off, it is a HUGE help if your scene has talented producers, and Orlando had Lelo & Jazz "Los Hitmen," who brought some … [Read more...]

Maffio Ft. Magic Juan – Tu Ta Loco (Video + MP3)

Maffio & Magic Juan

Few rising artists exemplify and promote the concept of Spanglish as well as Miami’s Rey del Merengue-Electronico, Maffio. What began as the distant dream of an underfunded young producer has since evolved into a budding musical career, thanks to his perseverance and the backing of his label Spanglish Global. Today’s video for “Tu Ta Loco” (“You’re crazy!”) features New York Dominican rapper Magic Juan and is produced by Maffio himself – now that’s talent! The video for … [Read more...]

Kewin Cosmos – Imaginate (MP3 Download)

Kewin Cosmos

It's interesting to witness the musical diversity that has shaped the lives of many U.S.-based Latin music aficionados, and U.S.-Hispanics in particular.  While the music of Celia Cruz, Usher, Sin Bandera, and Brian McKnight appear to have few commonalities aside from the broad categorization of "music," this eclectic ensemble of musicians has deeply influenced many Latin music enthusiasts, such as today's featured artist, Kewin Cosmos. I imagine that there are many readers out there who can … [Read more...]
