The 22-year-old Mexican American rapper/singer joins voices with Digital Farm Animals on the new single “Next To You.”
Becky G appears in the music video for the song, which features additional production from Jamaica’s Rvssian, who previously worked with Cardi B, J Balvin and more.
“Next To You,” out now via Arista Records, is a dancehall-tinged ballad that puts a soft-spoken twist on the bright lights of dance-pop. The understated hook is the most interesting part, representing the lyrics’ regretful and introspective mood.
London’s Digital Farm Animals makes his mark on the biligual scene with Becky G’s fast-rap stream in the third verse. In 2017, he hit the Billboard Hot 100with louis tomlinson and Bebe Rexhaon “Back To You.”

The 25-year-old Spanish singer has announced the release of “Me Traiconaste,” her song for the new Game of Thrones concept album.
Rosalia’s new single takes a running theme of the show, betrayal, into flamenco territory, with Peruvian artist A. Chal featured on the bilingual collaboration.
The darkly intriguing tone of the track, accompanied by flamenco hand claps, evokes the locations around the Andalusian city Sevilla that will reportedly play a role in Season 8, including the amphitheater in the ruins of the Roman city Italica.
Rosalía announced the release of the song from the For the Throne (Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones) album on social media with a photo of herself in GOT-style garb.

Netflix has set a June 7 premiere date for Season 3 of Designated Survivor, the American political drama starring the 37-year-old Mexican actor.

Under new showrunner Neal Baerfor Season 3, President Kirkman faces a political reality: campaigning. What does it take to make a leader? What price will he be willing to pay? The season will explore today’s world of campaigning, smear tactics, debates, campaign finance and “fake news.” Democracy, as we know it, will hang in the balance.
In addition to Sutherland and Canto, the cast also includes Kal Penn, Italia Ricci, Maggie Q andItalia Ricci, with Anthony Edwards, Julie White, Elena Tovarand Ben Watson.
Designated Survivor is created by David Guggenheim, who serves as executive producer.
