Elena Rose to Launch First U.S. Tour, “Alma Tour 2025”

Elena Rose is readying for an American first…

The 30-year-old Venezuelan American singer/songwriter will embark on her first U.S. tour this year. And she promises that it’ll be “a very healing, very empowering show.”

Elena RoseTitled Alma Tour 2025, the trek, promoted by Live Nation, will kick off on November 28 at the Fillmore Miami Beach and will visit nine cities, including key markets including Los Angeles, New York, Houston and Chicago.

“I’m so excited to be able to perform live,” Elena Rose tells Billboard Español from Madrid, where she recently had a show. “That’s when you really get to know an artist, you immerse yourself in the world, truly, in everything that’s been created.”

With a career as a songwriter of hits for artists including Becky G, Rauw Alejandro, CNCO and Sebastián Yatra, Elena Rose has forged her own path as a solo artist, connecting with heartfelt and sincere songs that blend pop with Latin urban music.

In 2024, after releasing the hits “Me Lo Merezco,” “Orion” with Boza, the Latin Grammy-nominated “Caracas en el 2000” with Danny Ocean and Jerry Di and “Blanco y Negro” with LAGOS, she dropped her first EP, En Las Nubes – Con Mis Panas.

Her latest single is “Cosita linda,” a Latin pop and Afrobeat fusion with urban artist Justin Quiles that dropped on Friday (July 25).

“This music has been crafted specifically so people can take away a message, so people can feel inspired, so they can sing from the soul, feel with the soul, and have a different experience,” she adds about her upcoming tour. “We’re going to feel a lot. I hope I can help you heal, be present, and enjoy it.”

“I get very emotional seeing how people are connecting with my music around the world, and now I have the chance to experience this new stage,” she continues. “Just like I started experiencing a year and a half ago when people began listening to my music, now having people who want to buy a ticket to see me is something that makes me feel super grateful and excited because we’re putting together a show with all of our hearts, and I want to see everyone there.”

Jencarlos Canela has a new pretty little thing

The 32-year-old Cuban American singer/actor has joined voices with Pitbull for the high octane single “Cosita Linda.”

Jencarlos Canela

The track, penned by Jencarlos and Cuban newcomer Lenier, tells the story of a man who’s out to conquer the girl of his dreams.

“Everything that’s yours is for me/ I’ll give you whatever you want/ Everything that’s mine is for you/ We’ll do whatever you want,” the catchy chorus says in Spanish.

In true Miami fashion, the song, helmed by producers IAmChino and Mauro and released under Pitbull’s record label Mr. 305 Records, is almost four minutes of pure fiesta, fusing Cuban rumba, sensual reggaeton and romantic flamenco guitar riffs.

A music video directed by David Rousseau features both artists having the time of their lives in the heart of the Miami nightlife and beaches.

In addition to “Cosita Linda,” Pitbull is a three-time nominee at the 2021 Premio Lo Nuestro, and Jencarlos will soon premiere his next movie alongside Kevin Hart.
