After spending nearly a decade generating buzz with mixtapes and singles, Bad Gyal is ready for her next big move. At the beginning of the year, the Barcelona-based star released her debut album La Joia, which is Catalan for the “The Jewel.” On the adventurous LP, she explored genres like dancehall, reggaeton, Brazilian funk, and house music while subverting the male-dominated urbano space with big femme energy.
“I like the concept that a jewel comes from a dirty, hard space, but then you work on it, you cut it, and...

It might come as a surprise to non-Brazilians that the trailblazing pop star Anitta first started her career as an Mc. In Brazil, this means you’re a baile funk singer. Born in Rio suburbs, the Mc Anitta came up playing public court parties with massive, 10-feet-high sound systems blasting heavy kicks and crispy snares all night long, real baile funk indeed. Her new album Funk Generation is a tribute to those early beginnings, and also a platform to experiment with the global pop unfolding in the many sonic palettes of today’s baile funk.

Karol G has added more dates to her Mañana Será Bonito stadium tour. This is the singer’s first-ever set of stadium performances in the United States. The tour is scheduled to begin on August 11 in Las Vegas before ending on September 7 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The trek is named after the Colombian star’s reggaeton album released in February 2023. The LP contained “Tqg” with Shakira, which became Karol G’s first top-10 single on the US Billboard Hot 100.

In contemporary pop, artists seem exceptionally open to interdisciplinary collaboration. Brazilian baile funk acts like Mc Gw are borrowing from the reggaeton being made in Colombia and Puerto Rico. Jamaican dancehall singers like Konshens are working with afrobeats producers like DJ Tunez, a Brooklyn-based beat-maker of Nigerian descent.
The latest example of this trend is “Open the Door,” a propulsive marvel featuring Bad Gyal, a Spanish-Catalan singer known for her dancehall influences, and Govana, a rising Jamaican singer who has released a stream of singles that picked up traction on YouTube this year.
