A.Chal's new single “LMKK” tops this week's new Latin music poll.
In a poll posted Friday (Oct. 25) — in support of the weekly New Music Latin compilation and playlist, curated by Bulletin board Latin and Billboard Español editors — music fans voted the Peruvian-American artist's new track their favorite music release of the week.
Spain's “LMKK” garnered over 89 percent of the vote, beating out other new releases that dropped this week, such as Alejandro Sanz's “Palmeras en el Jardín,” Sech's comeback song “Toy Perdio,” Ese Vato” by Carín León & Gabito Ballesteros No Te Queda” and Latin Mafia's debut album, Todos Los Días Todos El Díato name a few. Sanz's single — which he previewed during Billboard's Latin Music Week 2024 earlier this month — came in at number two.
Composed and produced by A.Chal himself during a trip to Milan, 'LMKK' masterfully blends the nostalgic charm of reggaetón with contemporary alt-R&B, sampling Zion & Lenox's iconic 'Yo Voy' featuring Daddy Yankee. “Yo te tengo all over my mind, and you know, I don't care if it ain't mine,” she sings on the elusive and elegant track.
“On my last tour, when I looked out into the crowd, I saw different types of characters coming to see me that wouldn't normally be in the same room,” he said in a press statement. “They all had their own distinct vibe and supported different songs. This inspired me to make songs that all these groups could relate to and move with equally. “LMKK” is a small indication of that direction I'm leaning towards.”
In New Latin Music's previous poll, music fans crowned Greeicy and Jay Wheeler's collaborative effort “¿Qué Te Pasó?” as the winner, with the song garnering over 99% of the votes.
