video - Spanglish Noise

Recently nominated in the Best Urban Music Album category for the upcoming 13th Latin Grammy Awards, Chilean MC Ana Tijoux breathes a fresh life of philosophical wisdom and poetic rap lines into the oft-hidden genre of Latin HipHop. Her 2012 Album La Bala is perhaps most known for its socially-charged lyrics - evident through such songs as "Shock" or "La Bala" - but the deeper tracks on the album often take a more subtle approach to Ana's intellectual musings, as is evident in the new video … [Read more...]

Today has #TeamEliJas in a frenzy, thanks to the release of Eli Jas' second single, "Deseandote." This talented young singer, New York's Princess of Bachata, came hurtling onto the scene last spring with the release of her song "Tu Me Haces Volar" and the early recognition she received from MTV 3 (and Spanglish Noise of course - click here for the interview!!). The fact that she is a female bachata singer aside, what truly makes Eli Jas special is the emotion she oozes into every phrase, her … [Read more...]

Tito El Bambino – Dame La Ola

Tito "El Bambino" is perhaps one of the most recognized artists to arise from the genre of reggaeton, and I largely attribute this success to his ability to test out new musical genres and reach out to a global Latin audience. While the overall nature of his lyrics has remained fairly consistent over the years (love, dance, music, and women), his vocals and melodies have matured with the progression of time, abandoning occasional flirtations with dissonance in favor of pop elements. Tito's … [Read more...]

Jowell & Randy – RaggaDub

It had to happen sooner or later: today Reggaeton and Dub Step collide in a fury of rough electronic sounds, effect-laden vocals, and a defining dembow rhythm - collectively referred to as "RaggaDub." It is too early to tell if this song will inspire a new wave of songs blending the two genres or if it is simply a passing fad (no matter how innovative), but Orlando's production duo of Lelo "El Androide" and Jazz, aka "Los Hitmen," are certainly doing everything in their power to bring a new … [Read more...]

MTV Iggy Presents: Ximena Sariñana – Tu y Yo

Ximena Sariñana is a blossoming young Mexican singer whose bubbly personality, fearless experimentation, and former fame as a child telenovela actress have captured the hearts of fans across the globe. Despite the immensely successful 2008 debut album Mediocre consisting entirely of tracks in Spanish, Ximena turned around and bravely released her eponymous sophomore album in English - the only exception being today's featured song, "Tu y Yo." The differences between the two cds extends … [Read more...]

Plan B – Te Dijeron

Puerto Rico's Plan B, released their first video since the 2010 album House of Pleasure and maybe it's just me, but it seems that even the snowflakes in the video are melting from the sensual heat of the lyrics. Comprised of Checho on the vocals and rapper Maldy on the verses, "Te Dijeron" is a musical expression of that burning, uncontrollable desire felt by lovers worldwide. Checho sings out a soulful chorus that affirms his infatuation for a woman, while Maldy's high-pitched rapid rap … [Read more...]

Maffio – No Te Dejare de Amar

Grab a glass of wine, cue the romantic music, and prepare your heart strings for some sweet tugs of mambo-style emotion from Miami producer-turned-singer Maffio. This new singer is extra versatile in that he is capable of approaching a track from the lyrical and musical vantage of an artist, while firmly understanding the production techniques and elements of commercial success that come with the territory of music production. With an impressive work resume that includes such names as … [Read more...]
