The 14-track set, helmed by her longtime producer Nico Cotton and released via Dale Play Records and Rimas Entertainment, generated more than 93% of the vote, beating out other new album releases last week including Boza’s San Blas, Natalia Lafourcade’s Cancionera, Javiera Mena’s Inmersión, and Bunbury’s Cuentas Pendientes.
Latinaje is home to the previously-released singles “La Cueva,” “Dolce,” and “Con Otra”—the latter two also won the fan-related poll on Billboard.
If these tracks were any indication, lyrically and musically, Cazzu has evolved since her 2022 set Nena Trampa. On Latinaje, the artist born Julieta Cazzucheli is vulnerable and mature, singing about overcoming a heartbreak, finding her self-worth, but most importantly, motherhood—”Inti” is a sweet dedication to the daughter she has with ex-boyfriend Christian Nodal.
The very diverse album is home to trap, cumbia, salsa, merengue, flamenco, and tango melodies, and collaborations with Elena Rose, Maka, and WIU.
On the previous New Music Latin poll, Kenia OS and Anitta’s “En 4″— a provocative fusion between perreo and Brazilian funk— won the fan-related music poll.
