First Stream Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs, albums and videos recommended by the Billboard Latin editors.
Manu Manzo dropped a new ladies bop called “PAELLA” (loosely translated to “for her.”) On the edgy R&B fusion, the Venezuela-American singer-songwriter recruited composers Big Red and paopao to bring to life a track about a woman who’s independent and takes care of herself and her heart. “I wanted to create a track that women could embrace and make their own anthem, especially for those extraordinary women that inspire us to be the best version of ourselves,” Manu expressed in a press statement. Titled “Quédate,” the bilingual track (penned by MAR) is a refreshing take on the pop-urban fusion. “Many fans want me to bring back the classic Alex Rose, but in ENR they’ll receive a stronger, more intimate and complete version of me musically,” he expresses in a statement. Placing her sweet and tender vocals at the forefront, “Quédate” is powered by a hypnotizing calypso beat. The iconic Italian singer-songwriter captivates with “AMA,” the first single of his new album Latido Infinito. After fans waited four years after his last studio album, Vita Ce N’e, Ramazzotti returns with this powerful new track that fully reflects his musical identity; lyrically “Ama” is a beautiful invitation to love and celebrate the pureness of this feeling without limits.
