The 17-year-old Mexican-American singer has released her new single “Ahí Donde Me Ven.”
Following her country-tinged regional pop song “En Realidad,” which became a viral hit on TikTok, Aguilar has taken it down a notch for her new single.
This time, she trades Western-inspired dance melodies for a more heartfelt ranchera ballad.
Her strong and crisp vocals bring to life a song about a woman who’s positive and powerful on the outside but hurt and vulnerable on the inside.
“You see me but I’ve had love disappointments/ I don’t show off my falls but that’s something else/ I’ve felt that I’m dying many times/ But I overcome the crisis in any way/ But I’ve never suffered so much for love,” she sings in the chorus.
On this romantic mariachi track, Angela flaunts a maturity that goes well beyond her years in both her lyrics and vocals.
The 49-year-old Mexican singer, businesswoman and former actress has taken to The Tonight ShowStarring Jimmy Fallon to officially release the music video for her latest single “Mojito.”
As the special guest on Wednesday night, Thalia talked about her upcoming studio album, fame on TikTok and more before premiering the clip for her new track.
“It’s super sexy. It has real music with guitar and bongos,” she said. “It’s the perfect summer song because it’s refreshing.”
“Mojito” is part of Thalia’s upcoming studio album, desAMORfosis, a play on words for heartbreak, love, and morphosis.
“Love is an adventure and this is a very honest album,” she said, expressing that she really opened up on this set for the first time. “It’s like going to therapy and it was amazing.”

The 38-year-old Mexican-Native American TikTok star (aka DoggFace) displayed the moves that made him go viral on the social media platform, this time as part of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris‘ Parade Across Americaspecial — hosted by former Scandalstar Tony Goldwyn — part of the Inauguration Day festivities, on January 20.
Apodaca’s new video started with him once again smoothly skateboarding to Fleetwood Mac‘s 1977 hit “Dreams.” Only this time, instead of cruising with a big bottle of Ocean Spray cran-raspberry juice, he had a small U.S. flag in his left hand and a face mask on as he skateboarded around snowy roads in his native Idaho.
Apodaca — whose viral video has received Fleetwood Mac‘s stamp of approval and more than 12.5 million likes since being posted in September — wasn’t the only one rolling around in the clip.
True to the name of the inauguration special, the video also featured Americans from across the country — including Michigan, California, D.C., Massachusetts, Colorado, New York, and more — smoothly skating to “Dreams” in their own states. Like Apodaca, some skateboarders were holding little flags, while others opted to stay true to the original and went with his beverage of choice.
The Parade Across America special also featured appearances by Jon Stewart, a reunion by the New Radicals, DJ Cassidy‘s Pass the Mic, and others. It was just one part of the star-studded Inauguration Day events, which included performances by Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, and Garth Brooks earlier in the day.

The Colombian singer-songwriter first started using TikTok in 2019 to promote his Pedro Capó-assisted single “Tutu.” But in March, following the release of his track “Favorito,” he decided to become more active on the platform — and go all-in on dance challenges.
In the span of five months over the course of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Camilo increased his TikTok following by 10 million (his count jumped from 6 million to just over 16 million), surpassing J Balvin to become the most-followed Latin artist on the app.
His secret weapon? His wife, actress-singer Evaluna, 23.
“Whenever he has an idea or before he posts something, he asks for my opinion,” she says. “Everything posted on TikTok is a team effort.” She says that they usually plan a dance challenge long before a single release, dedicating a day to think of the choreography with help from their friend Paula Macher, who has over 1 million TikTok followers herself. “[She] knows all the latest trends and popular dance moves,” says Evaluna. “In the end, it helps push the song we’re promoting.”
Noel Nuez, TikTok’s director of operations for Spanish South America, believes that kind of collaboration has helped Camilo rake in new followers so quickly: “He’s surrounded by family and colleagues who are also well-integrated on TikTok themselves, which enables him to viralize across other top profiles and strengthen cross-profile storytelling.” Nuez says that in addition to “fully leveraging his creator network,” Camilo makes use of the app’s popular visual effects, like greenscreen, to “create a range of different content that incorporates his own music as a key component of the storytelling.”
Plus, Camilo doesn’t shy away from overpromotion, posting the same audioclip and dance challenge back to back to back. “The algorithm in TikTok is super different [from other social media platforms]: It doesn’t saturate your feed, and you don’t see all of my videos unless you enter my profile,” he says. He views each post as a new entry point for fans to reach his page, and so far it’s paying off.
In May, “Favorito” reached No. 25 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, and Camilo’s collaboration with Rauw Alejandro on “Tattoo (Remix)” peaked at No. 7 on the same chart in September, garnering 64 million on-demand U.S. streams, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. (On TikTok, the latter track has been tagged to 2.8 million videos, several of which are from Camilo and Evaluna.)
Camilo believes that more than any other strategy though, the driver of his TikTok success is authenticity. “The songs that I post on TikTok and the videos that we share best represent who I am and have a level of engagement [that’s delivered] in a very honest and transparent way,” he says. “Pretending will always lead to failure.”
The 27-year-old Mexican American singer/actress is joining voices with Trevor Daniel to drop a remix of his single “Past Life” this Friday, June 26.
After Daniel posted a mirror selfie wearing Gomez’s merchover the weekend and she reposted it on her Instagram story, fans speculated whether the two had a song in the works — and it turns out they were correct in their assumptions.
Gomez and Daniel are dusting off his melancholic R&B record from his debut studio album Nicotine thathe released back in March and breathing new life into it with Gomez’s vocals.
Previously, blackbear and Summer Walker hopped on remixes for Daniel’s TikTok-fueled hit “Falling.”
The 26-year-old Colombian singer-songwriter and more than 150 stars will take part in OneHuManity‘s (OHM) Dream With Us 24-hour livestream show on Friday, May 29 at 12:00 pm ET.

Dream With Us aims to combine live musical performances, real-time challenges, one-on-one interviews and empowering stories for a full day of festivities presented by OHM Live and Constellation, an inspirational human impact organization co-founded by Dubai-based entrepreneurs Jean-Karl Saliba and Zaid Frederiks.
“Dreams can’t be quarantined. Dreams know no boundaries, no race, no color and no religion. Dreams have the power to change the world. Our vision is to amplify human connection within an ecosystem that enables dreamers to build a community and connect globally,” Saliba and Frederiks said in a statement. “We engage with humanity by using the power of our shared and collective dreams with the goal to positively reshape the narrative of our planet.”
