Producer Ovy On The Drums Talks New EP With Myke Towers & The Indescribable Chemistry Of Working With Karol G

"I just wanted to make some good music with a well chosen set of guest artists, and let the beats speak for themselves," Ovy on the Drums says of his new EP with Myke Towers.

When Mañana Será Bonito , the fourth studio album by Karol G , came out in February 2023, its release had been preceded by two momentous hit singles that changed the face of Latin music. 

Panoramic in scope, slick and airy, but also imbued with an intense and lyrical emotional depth, the songs "Provenza" and "Cairo" combined pop, reggaetón and an alternative edge with panache, and confirmed the Colombian singer/songwriter as one of the biggest pop stars in the planet . Mañana Será Bonito would go on to win Latin GRAMMYs for Album Of The Year and Best Urban Music Album, as well as her first-ever GRAMMY for Best Música Urbana Album in 2024.

Karol G wasn’t alone in these accomplishments. Most of the songs on the album were helmed by her longtime producer, Ovy on the Drums . Like Karol herself, 33 year-old Daniel Echavarría Oviedo hails from Medellín. The pair started working together at the very beginning of their careers, and Ovy was behind the haute couture sonics of "Tusa," the 2019 collaboration with Nicki Minaj that first established Karol as a major contender in Latin pop.

"There is a chemistry when we work together that I cannot quite describe with words,"  Ovy says over Zoom from his home in Florida. It’s a weekday morning, and he sits by his keyboard producing station; from time to time, he will play imaginary chords as he searches for the right words for an answer. His attitude remains humble throughout the conversation — even after significant success and a triumphant world tour, where he accompanied Karol on most concert dates.

"I still remember the specific moment when I asked her if she would let me do production work with her," he tells GRAMMY.com. "We keep talking whenever we’re in the studio. She is very clear in her direction; ‘I want this song to sound like that,’ or, ‘Give it another spin and see if we can make it better.’"

Ovy has since been inspired to branch out into different challenges. The latest one is Cassette 01 ,  a six-song EP with Puerto Rican A-list rapper Myke Towers . The EP is the first in a series of cassette-themed mixtapes that will include a different collaborator on each new installment. "The concept of releasing cassette-themed EPs in the year 2024 is really exciting to me," Ovy says. "It’s linked to the history of pop music, and the way we consume songs."

Known for high-voltage, sexed-up urbano anthems like "La Playa" (2020) and "LALA" (2023), Towers adds his imprint to the songs, but Ovy’s futuristic aesthetic is all over the EP. "It’s true that the loop in the beginning has my personal touch," Ovy says with a laugh when I point out that the intro to "AMOR NARCÓTICO" is trademark Ovy. "Sometimes people tell me that a song has that unique touch of mine, and it really seems unbelievable to me when I hear it."

On "BELLAQUERÍA," he mixes synth patches with real riffs performed by his longtime guitar player; the contrast between organic and digitized is prevalent in his stylistic panoply. And his trademark battle call — the almost dub-like cry of "O-O-O-vy on the Drumsss" is the seal of distinction that pops up in every single production.

Musically speaking, Colombia sits on a highly strategic place: next door to the fertile Caribbean islands where reggae, salsa, merengue and calypso originated — but also close enough to the airwaves of mainstream American pop. Growing up, Ovy listened to a bit of everything, and gravitated naturally to lush records with majestic grooves.

"I loved Bob Marley as a kid," he says. "At home, of course, they would play a lot of salsa at parties, and hits of the time like 'Mayonesa' [a tropi-pop smash by Uruguayan band Chocolate.] I was also crazy about Modern Talking’s ‘Brother Louie’ and the Pet Shop Boys ’ ‘Go West.’ Those are the songs that defined my childhood."

In the meantime, he continues employing FL Studio — the same producing software that he used at the very beginning of his journey.

"I’ll never stop using it," he promises. "I just can’t see myself on another platform. I used to dream about meeting the software creators, and now they follow me on Instagram and gave me every available plug-in. I’ve been producing music for the past 11 years, and I think I only know a good half of everything there is to learn on FL."

Collaborating with other high-profile artists and finishing up a promised solo album are high on Ovy's priority list.

"At the beginning, I was trying to turn my solo project into a conceptual work — but that’s easier said than done," he admits. "In the end, I realized that I just wanted to make some good music with a well chosen set of guest artists, and let the beats speak for themselves. I’d say my solo album is about 50 percent done at this point."

Karol G recently released "CONTIGO," a Euro-leaning, pop-EDM single with Tiësto . It remains to be seen if the diva will rely as tightly on her usual partner in crime as she begins work on her upcoming fifth album.

"When she had some free time off touring, I happened to be busy with the CASSETTE project," Ovy says. "Since then, we connected again and have been recording a bunch of songs. But I can’t really tell what will happen on the next album. And I think it’s good that Karol is collaborating with other producers and composers, searching for different avenues and sounds. We’re definitely on the same page in allowing things to happen the way they are supposed to."

He pauses for a moment, then adds with an extra wave of enthusiasm:

"I will always be there for her. Our common objective hasn’t really changed. We must always work hard, and come up with cool new songs."

How The Latin GRAMMYs Brought Latin Music Excellence To The 2024 GRAMMYs

Latin music was celebrated throughout GRAMMY Week and on Music's Biggest Night. Read on for the many ways Latin music excellence was showcased at the 204 GRAMMYs.

The 2023 Latin GRAMMYs may have occurred months ago and thousands of miles away, but the leading lights in Latin music also shined at the 66th GRAMMY Awards . From historic wins and meaningful nominations, to electric performances and interesting installations, Latin music excellence was everywhere. 

In anticipation of the 25th anniversary of the Latin GRAMMYs in 2024, the exclusive GRAMMY House — the site of multiple GRAMMY Week events — included a significant installation dedicated to the Biggest Night In Latin Music.

The cylindrical display showcased some of the biggest moments in Latin GRAMMY history, including images, facts, and even a real Latin GRAMMY award. 

The celebration of Latin music continued throughout GRAMMY Week, with several Latin GRAMMY-winning artists also winning on the GRAMMY stage. Among the major moments at the 2024 GRAMMYs, Karol G won her first golden gramophone for her 2023 LP Mañana Será Bonito . "This is my first time at GRAMMYs, and this is my first time holding my own GRAMMY," the Colombian songstress exclaimed during her acceptance speech.  

Música Mexicana star Peso Pluma also took home his first GRAMMY; his album GÉNESIS won in the Best Música Mexicana Album (Including Tejano) Category.

Premiere Ceremony presenter Natalia Lafourcade — whose Todas Las Flores won big at the 2023 Latin GRAMMYs — also took home the GRAMMY Award for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album. She tied in the Category with Juanes . 

Premiere Ceremony performer Gabby Moreno also took home a GRAMMY Award for Best Latin Pop Album for her album X Mí (Vol. 1) . 

Beyond the stage, Latin artists graced the red carpet and the nominations list. For example, producer and songwriter Edgar Barrera was the only Latino nominated in the Songwriter Of The Year, Non-Classical Category.

10 Must-See Moments From The 2024 GRAMMYs: Taylor Swift Makes History, Billy Joel & Tracy Chapman Return, Boygenius Manifest Childhood Dreams

How The 2024 GRAMMYs Saw The Return Of Music Heroes & Birthed New Icons

Between an emotional first-time performance from Joni Mitchell and a slew of major first-time winners like Karol G and Victoria Monét, the 2024 GRAMMYs were unforgettably special. Revisit all of the ways both legends and rising stars were honored.

After Dua Lipa kicked off the 2024 GRAMMYs with an awe-inspiring medley of her two new songs , country star Luke Combs followed with a performance that spawned one of the most memorable moments of the night — and one that exemplified the magic of the 66th GRAMMY Awards.

Combs was joined by Tracy Chapman , whose return to the stage marked her first public performance in 15 years. The two teamed up for her GRAMMY-winning hit "Fast Car," which earned another GRAMMY nomination this year thanks to Combs' true-to-form cover that was up for Best Country Solo Performance. The audience went wild upon seeing a resplendent, smiling Chapman strum her guitar, and it was evident that Combs felt the same excitement singing along beside her.

Chapman and Combs' duet was a powerful display of what the 2024 GRAMMYs offered: veteran musicians being honored and new stars being born.

Another celebrated musician who made a triumphant return was Joni Mitchell . Though the folk icon had won 10 GRAMMYs to date — including one for Best Folk Album at this year's Premiere Ceremony — she had never performed on the GRAMMYs stage until the 2024 GRAMMYs. Backed by a band that included Brandi Carlile , Allison Russell , Blake Mills, Jacob Collier , and other accomplished musicians, the 80-year-old singer/songwriter delivered a stirring (and tear-inducing) rendition of her classic song "Both Sides Now," singing from an ornate chair that added an element of regality.

Later in the show, Billy Joel , the legendary rock star who began his GRAMMY career in 1979 when "Just the Way You Are" won Record and Song Of The Year, used the evening to publicly debut his first single in 17 years, "Turn the Lights Back On." (He also closed out the show with his 1980 classic, "You May Be Right.") It was the latest event in Joel's long history at the show; past performances range from a 1994 rendition of "River of Dreams" to a 2022 duet of "New York State of Mind" with Tony Bennett . The crooner, who died in 2023, was featured in the telecast's In Memoriam section , where Stevie Wonder dueted with archival footage of Bennett. And Annie Lennox , currently in semi-retirement, paid tribute to Sinéad O'Connor , singing "Nothing Compares 2 You" and calling for peace.

Career-peak stars also furthered their own legends, none more so than Taylor Swift . The pop star made history at the 2024 GRAMMYs, claiming the record for most Album Of The Year wins by a single artist . The historic moment also marked another icon's return, as Celine Dion made an ovation-prompting surprise appearance to present the award. (Earlier in the night, Swift also won Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights , announcing a new album in her acceptance speech. To date, Swift has 14 GRAMMYs and 52 nominations.)

24-time GRAMMY winner Jay-Z expanded his dominance by taking home the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award , which he accepted alongside daughter Blue Ivy . And just before Miley Cyrus took the stage to perform "Flowers," the smash single helped the pop star earn her first-ever GRAMMY , which also later nabbed Record Of The Year .

Alongside the longtime and current legends, brand-new talents emerged as well. Victoria Monét took home two GRAMMYs before triumphing in the Best New Artist category , delivering a tearful speech in which she looked back on 15 years working her way up through the industry. Last year's Best New Artist winner, Samara Joy , continued to show her promise in the jazz world, as she won Best Jazz Performance for "Tight"; she's now 3 for 3, after also taking home Best Jazz Vocal Album for Linger Awhile last year.

First-time nominee Tyla became a first-time winner — and surprised everyone, including herself — when the South African starlet won the first-ever Best African Music Performance GRAMMY for her hit "Water." boygenius , Karol G and Lainey Wilson were among the many other first-time GRAMMY winners that capped off major years with a golden gramophone (or three, in boygenius' case).

All throughout GRAMMY Week 2024 , rising and emerging artists were even more of a theme in the lead-up to the show. GRAMMY House 2024 hosted performances from future stars, including Teezo Touchdown and Tiana Major9 at the Beats and Blooms Emerging Artist Showcase and Blaqbonez and Romy at the #GRAMMYsNextGen Party .

Gatherings such as A Celebration of Women in the Mix , Academy Proud: Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Voices , and the Growing Wild Independent Music Community Panel showcased traditionally marginalized voices and communities, while Halle Bailey delivered a GRAMMY U Masterclass for aspiring artists. And Clive Davis hosted his Pre-2024 GRAMMYs Gala , where stars new and old mingled ahead of the main event. 

From established, veteran artists to aspiring up-and-comers, the 2024 GRAMMYs were a night of gold and glory that honored the breadth of talent and creativity throughout the music industry, perfectly exemplifying the Recording Academy's goal to "honor music's past while investing in its future." If this year's proceedings were any indication, the future of the music industry is bright indeed.

Big First Wins At The 2024 GRAMMYs: Karol G, Lainey Wilson, Victoria Monét & More

The 2024 GRAMMYs were momentous in a myriad of ways, including major firsts. Here's a rundown of big first wins by Paramore, Zach Bryan, Tyla and others.

That's a wrap for Music's Biggest Night! The 2024 GRAMMYs were extraordinarily stuffed with incredible moments , from performances to historic wins to unforgettable surprises.

Several of the most memorable moments came from first-time winners. In fact, there were 126 at the 66th GRAMMY Awards, spanning a wide array of talent across genres. From Colombian songstress Karol G to indie rock supergroup boygenius and country singer Brandy Clark , take a look at some of the biggest acts that took home their very first golden gramophones.

Miley Cyrus Celebrated Her First Wins With A Pumped-Up Performance

Miley Cyrus may have taken home the coveted Record Of The Year for "Flowers," but a different Category may have been the biggest achievement. Just before her performance on the GRAMMY stage , Cyrus won her first-ever golden gramophone for Best Pop Solo Performance.

"This award is amazing, but I really hope it doesn't change anything, because my life was beautiful yesterday," Cyrus said while accepting her first award.

"Flowers" is featured on Cyrus' 2023 album Endless Summer Vacation . "Flowers" was also nominated for GRAMMYs for Song Of The Year.

Karol G's First GRAMMYs Resulted In Her First GRAMMY

Karol G has had a meteoric rise over the past several years, and that continued unabated at Music's Biggest Night.

At the 2024 GRAMMYs Premiere Ceremony, Karol G won the GRAMMY for Best Música Urbana Album, for her 2023 LP Mañana Será Bonito . (She'd previously been nominated at the 2022 GRAMMYs, for the same category, for KG0516 .

"Hello everybody, my name is Karol G. I am from Medellín, Colombia. This is my first time at the GRAMMYs, and this is my first time holding my own GRAMMY," she said, utterly concisely.

Victoria Monét Completed A Lifelong Goal…

Victoria Monét won big at the GRAMMYs, including taking home the award for Best New Artist. The singer also took home golden gramophones for Best R&B Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for Jaguar II .

Monét has been nominated for 10 GRAMMYs over her career as both a solo act and songwriter. When accepting the GRAMMY Award for Best New Artist, Monét compared herself to a plant growing from soil. 

"My roots have been growing underneath ground, unseen, for so long, and I feel like today I'm sprouting, finally above ground," she said.

…And So Did Coco Jones

Monét’s fellow R&B nominee — and one-time collaborator — Coco Jones also turned a nearly 15-year journey into GRAMMY success, winning Best R&B Performance for her song "ICU."

Tyla, Me'shell NdegeOcello & Kylie Minogue Won In First-Time Categories

At the 2024 GRAMMYs, there were three new Categories — which meant three inaugural winners. South African singer/songwriter Tyla took home her first GRAMMY with her win for Best African Music Performance for her smash hit "Water," while Me'shell NdegeOcello and Kylie Minogue notched their second wins each, in the new Best Alternative Jazz Album and Best Pop Dance Recording Categories, respectively.

After 16 Years, Paramore Got GRAMMY Gold 

Myspace-era alt wizards Paramore enjoyed a stunning resurgence with their 2023 album This Is Why . They'd been nominated in past ceremonies — their first nominations coming in 2008 — but at the 2024 GRAMMYs, they nabbed the trophy for the prestigious Best Rock Album Category. And with their first win, they made GRAMMY history: Paramore is the first female-fronted rock band to win Best Rock Album.

Lainey Wilson Continued A Massive Year With A GRAMMY

Much like Tyla, country star Lainey Wilson nailed it on the first try — as far as the Recording Academy goes. She was nominated twice at the 2024 GRAMMYs, and took home a golden gramophone for Best Country Album, for Bell Bottom Country .

Clearly, the phenomenon of a first-time GRAMMY nominee taking it home transcends genres and continents.

Second Time Was A Charm For Zach Bryan

Country great Zach Bryan 's been nominated before — at the 2023 GRAMMYs, for Best Country Solo Performance, for "Something in the Orange."

This time, he brought home the golden gramophone for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, for "I Remember Everything." Bryan was also nominated for Best Country Album ( Zach Bryan ) and Best Country Song, also for "I Remember Everything."

First-Time Nominees Boygenius Won Three Times

Women dominated the 2024 GRAMMYs, which certainly applies to boygenius — who consist of three women, and cleaned up at the ceremony. And, they too were first-time nominees

Boygenius took home three GRAMMYs revolving around 2023's the record , including Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance — both for the stirring, gender-flipped "Not Strong Enough."

Peso Pluma Went From First-Time Nominee To First-Time Winner

Música Mexicana, stand up! Upstart Peso Pluma took home the GRAMMY for Best Música Mexicana Album (Including Tejano), for his tremendous album GÉNESIS .

As the status of Mexico on the global stage continues to swell, take Pluma's win as a sign to keep your ear to the ground.

Brandy Clark Left A Winner

Roots-heavy singer Brandy Clark's been nominated for 17 GRAMMYs over the years, but never gave up.

At the 2024 GRAMMYs, she won for Best Americana Performance for "Dear Insecurity" — and she played a corker of a version at the Premiere Ceremony with the string duo SistaStrings.

Fred again.. Proved To Be Dance Music’s Latest Hero

2022 saw Fred again.. rise as one of dance music's most promising new stars with the release of his compilation album, USB , and his third studio album, Actual Life 3 — and both helped him win his first pair of GRAMMYs in 2024. USB 's "Rumble" (a collaboration with Skrillex and Four Tet) scored Best Dance/Electronic Recording, and Actual Life 3 took home Best Dance/Electronic Music Album.

Taylor Swift & Kacey Musgraves Celebrated Historic Firsts

While winning a GRAMMY was nothing new to 2024 winners Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves , they both had feats that marked big firsts in GRAMMY history. Swift became the first artist to be awarded Album Of The Year four times with her win for Midnights , while Musgraves' win for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her Zach Bryan collaboration "I Remember Everything" made her the first artist to win in all four Country Field Categories.

INTERVIEW: Ovy on the Drums Shifts Gears From Producer to Artist With ‘Cassette 01’

In all of your favorite Karol G songs, there’s a good chance you’ve heard the “O-O-Ovy on the Drums” tagline. Fresh off of his recent Grammy win with Karol G, the Colombian hit-maker is making his crossover from producer to artist. Ovy on the Drums teamed up with Myke Towers for his debut EP  Cassette 01 , which was  released  today (March 15). In an interview with Remezcla, Ovy reflects on his come-up with Karol G and how he is reshaping reggaeton with his own artistic vision. 

“I’m happy that my name is on the EP as an artist with Myke Towers,” he says. “Having Myke hopping on my sound is very important to show producers that we put out music with our own sounds.”

Ovy on the Drums was born Daniel Echavarría Oviedo in Medellín, Colombia. When he was finding his footing as a producer, he started working as a DJ for Karol G a decade ago. Their working relationship blossomed into making music together. Ovy has since produced a majority of songs on all her albums, including her signature hits like “Ahora Me Llama” with Bad Bunny, “Tusa” featuring Nicki Minaj, “Bichota,” and “Provenza.”

“We’ll look at each other and say, ‘Wow! It’s incredible how our lives have changed,’” Ovy reflects. “We started from the bottom, and we’re seeing everything that we’ve built together, and the music we’ve made is going down in history.”

Ovy on the Drums long dreamed of winning a Latin Grammy, and thanks to the success of  Mañana Será Bonito  with Karol G, he also added a gringo Grammy to his awards haul. The LP won Album of the Year at the 2023 Latin Grammy Awards and Best Música Urbana Album at last month’s  Grammy Awards . “Thanks to God that we emerged victorious with one of the biggest albums I’ve made in my career,” he says. Ovy was at the helm of the global smash “TQG” featuring Shakira. 

“It’s a song that I also have tattooed on me because it was my first production that went No. 1 in the world,” he adds.

Ovy on the Drums dropped a few singles under his own name, but now he is fully committed to the crossover with  Cassette 01 . Myke Towers joins him on the mixtape-styled EP where Ovy pushes reggaeton into the future with the alluring “ Amor Narcótico ” and perreo-ready “Desataaa” featuring Saiko. He also highlights Medellín’s music scene with Blessd and Ryan Castro featuring on the reggaeton romp “ Godiva .”

“It was incredible to work with Myke Towers,” he says. “We always make good music together and have great chemistry in the studio. He’s like a brother to me. I always aim to do something different and fresh in the industry.” 

Ovy on the Drums is proud to join his colleagues like Tainy and Sky Rompiendo El Bajo in the movement to bring Latine producers to the forefront. He promises that there will be more of the  Cassette  series on the way with other artists in the mix.

“People didn’t see us before, but now we’re putting in more effort to change that,” he says. “We’re forging a path and saying, ‘Hey, now producers can be artists,’ and we can put forth our musical concepts to the world. I want producers, artists, and everyone to identify with what I’m doing and keep creating music every day.”

Myke Towers, Blessd, and Ovy on the Drums Become a ‘Tendencia Global’ on New Collab

• By Tomás Mier

Blessd, Myke Towers , and Ovy on the Drums are ready to be the next “global trend,” or “Tendencia Global,” in the new video for their collaboration.

The video, which dropped Friday, is full of clips of the three artists singing the track’s catchy lyrics while riding on a couch around Blessd’s Medellín, Colombia. In some scenes, the stars sing from sandy beaches, while Blessd rocks a Los Angeles jersey while riding a bike on a beat-up runner’s track.

“I’m going to get there and steal you/If you sang, you’d be a global trend,” sings Blessd in Spanish on the signature reggaetón beat. “Even women want to try/I let her travel private like Pablo Escobar.”

Blessd has been teasing the single for several days. On Wednesday, he shared a clip of the video, writing in Spanish, “Together to make history: Puerto Rico and Colombia. This one’s going global.”

The track was born after Towers reached out to Blessd, who’s quickly become a rising star with his Latin trap and urban sound. The two then met up to create the single with Ovy, who’s become a producing lead in the genre.

Late last month, Ovy on the Drums shared a photo of the trio and wrote, “Happy to have accomplished this with the new scene coming out of Colombia.” Blessd, responded, “Thanks for everything my hermanito . Love you.”

The new song follows Towers’ collab “Jóvenes Millonarios” with Eladio Carrión , Blessd’s track with Beéle “Enchulao,” and Ovy on the Drums’ “Ya No Somos” with Kim Loaiza. Blessd will soon go on his “Tendencia Global” world tour, named after the single.

Ovy on the Drums Inks New Partnership With Warner Music Latina

The Colombian producer topped Billboard's Latin Producers chart for 17 weeks.

By Jessica Roiz

Jessica Roiz

Assistant Editor, Latin

Ovy on the Drums has signed a new partnership with Warner Music Latina, Billboard can exclusively report. Per the press release, the partnership will take his music career to “a higher level of expansion.”

“Warner has always been family to me and now, we will create my first album together, which will be one in which I want to show who Ovy on the Drums is and break all musical schemes,” the Colombian artist-producer said in a statement.

Born Daniel Echavarria Oviedo in Medellin, Ovy on the Drums kicked off his career as a local DJ in Colombia before working with reggaeton artists such as Andy Rivera and Kevin Roldan, and ultimately became Karol G’s longtime producer. Throughout his career, he’s also worked with Enrique Iglesias, Myke Towers, Gloria Trevi, and Sebastian Yatra, to name a few.

On the Billboard charts , he reached No. 1 on the Latin Producers chart for 17 consecutive weeks, and No. 1 on Latin Songwriters for two weeks on the charts dated May 14. He also landed at No. 3 on the Hot 100 Producers chart and No. 22 on the Hot 100 Songwriters chart.

As a producer, he has a total of 32 entries on the Hot Latin Songs, including the No. 1 bangers “Tusa” (Karol G and Nicki Minaj), which topped the chart for four weeks, Becky G and Karol G’s unapologetic “Mamiii,” and Karol’s recent solo hit “Provenza.” This week, Blessd, Justin Quiles, and Lenny Tavarez’s “Medallo,” which he also produced, hit No. 1 on the Latin Airplay chart (dated May 21).

“I have had the pleasure of watching Ovy grow over the years, to this day when he’s topping the Latin producer and songwriter charts worldwide,” said Alejandro Duque, president, Warner Music Latin America, in a statement. “The next step is his artistic career, and we are very excited to be partners in this new phase.”

Under the new partnership, according to the release, Ovy on the Drums will continue to work on new music “that promises to reach different masses around the world as part of his global conquest.”

New Music Latin: Listen to Releases From Ovy on the Drums & Myke Towers, Reik & More

New Music   Latin  is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by  Billboard Latin  and  Billboard Español  editors. Check out this week's picks below.

Ovy on the Drums & Myke Towers,  Cassette 1  (King OVY/Warner Music Latina)

Ovy on the Drums' latest musical project,  Cassette 1 - which he first told me about confidentially back in Oct. 2023 - has finally seen the light. A joint EP with Myke Towers, the six-track set showcases the magic that the Colombian hitmaker and Puerto Rican artist, alongside select collaborators, can make in the studio. It kicks off with "Desataaa," in collab with Spanish newcomer SAIKO, an edgy distorted reggaetón jam that's laced with Ovy's signature instrumentation - drums, piano, and violins (think Karol G's "Provenza," "Tusa").

In "Bellaqueria," the duo reeled in Argentine artist La Joaqui for a rather sensual dancehall number powered by smooth, electric guitars and crashing ocean waves. "Come give more of those kisses that you give me/ Let me surprise you/ You're hot, I can see it/ And you didn't want anything/ The night is perfect to get steamy," they chant. Another notable track on  Cassette  is the rhythmic, Calypso-infused "Pobre Diable." Meanwhile, "Godiva" (with Blessd and Ryan Castro), "Amor Narcotico" and "Tu Cuerpo Me Llama," are hard-hitting futuristic reggaetón bangers with sensual lyrics. 

Billboard  can confirm that  Cassette 1  is the first part of multiple collaborative EPs that Ovy on the Drums has in the works. -  JESSICA ROIZ   

Ivan Cornejo, "Baby Please" (Interscope Records)

Known for his signature moody lyrics and sad sierreño tunes, Ivan Cornejo strikes a chord here with "Baby Please." The Mexican American artist, who penned the song in his hometown of Riverside, Calif., also plays guitar and the violin on the new heartbreak song - which will likely soon turn into an anthem, much like all of his other ultra-melancholic songs. The emotional piece finds the 19-year-old pleading for a second chance: "This song was inspired by the desperate desire we feel during our lowest moments in a break up," Cornejo said in a statement. "We hate the attachment but love the thought of a rekindled love. I wanted this song to feel like I'm vulnerable but at the same time willing to fight for her." - GRISELDA FLORES

Reik, "Abril" (Sony Music México)

Just in time for spring, Mexican pop trio Reik presents "Abril." The captivating song begins as a soft ballad, harmoniously led by strings and vocals, and then evolves with electronic elements into a contemporary pop-style piece. The lyrics of the song narrate the longing for a lost love that resurfaces with the arrival of the month of April, as expressed by the band's vocalist, Jesús Navarro, in the chorus: "And, the truth is, I can't stop thinking about you/ Nothing comes close to the first kiss I gave you/ And if I had just one wish to make/ May April come back, April come back." The music video takes place in an urban environment that gradually transforms into a spring setting, with a trail of flowers left by the protagonist. - LUISA CALLE

Yeison Jimenez & Luis Ángel "El Flaco," "Hasta El Último Momento" (Yj Company – Black Lion Digital)

When Mexican banda fuses with Colombia's música popular, like it does in "Hasta El Último Momento," the result is a powerful and uplifting anthem that celebrates the power of gratitude and invites listeners to live life to the fullest. The special collaboration begins with vibrant trumpets and rhythmic percussion, and brings together both genres' energetic rhythms and soulful melodies. This song will be included in Yeison Jiménez's next studio album,  17-32.  The lyrics convey a powerful message about cherishing life's experiences over material wealth. And it reminds us that moments of joy, love and connection are more valuable than any monetary possession. - INGRID FAJARDO

Joss Favela & Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho, "Somos" (Sony Music Latin)

Marked by its compelling requinto riffs and resonant tuba, "Somos" delves into the profound bond that renders two souls inseparable, a sentiment vividly captured in the lyrics: " Tú y yo somos mucho más que separados ." Written by Joss Favela, the sierreño love ballad - a style popularized by the late, great Ariel Camacho - captures the essence of being more together than apart, making the single a testament to love's unifying power. It's a heartfelt narrative of indivisible love, rooted in Favela's desire to pivot from his usual themes of heartache to a celebration of love. "My idea was to do a love song," Favela says in a statement. "Because generally if you have noticed, I sing a lot about heartbreak - because sometimes that's how I get ideas of pain, and when I had a love song I wanted to invite them." -  ISABELA RAYGOZA

Andrés Cepeda, "Prométeme" (Warner Music México)

With his first release under Warner Music, which he joined in October, Andrés Cepeda presents a romantic pop-rock ballad. Led by pleasant electric guitar riffs, "Prométeme" begins softly, speaking about the thrill of beginning of a relationship, before soaring with a vigorous chorus: "Promise me that you'll still stay when I fail/ When as time passes, I give myself away and the truth comes out/ When our lips touch and lose their electricity/ Promise me that you'll still stay until the end."

The single - "a song that proposes the future of a long-term relationship, with all the difficulties and obstacles that this represents," Cepeda explains in a press release - was recorded between Bogotá and Los Angeles. It also comes with a music video filmed in the Bogotá neighborhood of Chapinero, where the singer and his band appear blindfolded playing in a room full of flowers -the freshness of new, blind love at its best.  - SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS

CASSETTE 01 - EP

The hitmaker behind countless KAROL G singles, Ovy On the Drums rose to join the vanguard of Latin music producers. After teasing listeners over the past couple of years with loosies opposite the likes of Ozuna and Peso Pluma, the Medellín native drops a focused EP with none other than Myke Towers by his side. In line with his producer’s core strengths, the Puerto Rican trapero turned reggaetonero leans into the latter style here, resulting in the pop-wise perreo moment “DESATAAA” with Saiko as well as more overtly tropical ones like “AMOR NARCOTICO.” Interestingly enough, the pair favor slower tempos more often than not, evident on “TU CUERPO ME LLAMA” and the hypnotic La Joaqui duet “BELLAQUERIA.” Representative of Ovy’s expansive palette, an Afrobeats element pervades “POBRE DIABLA,” while “GODIVA” with Blessd and Ryan Castro gives off a rootsier reggae vibe that nods not so subtly to his chosen genre’s origins.
