Karol G has lined up some Latin music A-listers for her next album…

The 34-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning superstar has revealed the full track list for her fifth studio album, Tropicoqueta, which comes out this Friday, June 20.

Karol G“Intense chapters, unexpected twists, endearing characters. This is the official Track Listing for this new story of my life!” Karol G captioned her post revealing her new tunes. “Each song has its own story. Each collaboration has its own reason.”

The 20-set album kicks off with “La Reina Presenta” and wraps with the title track.

The previously released “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” and “Latina Foreva” are part of the set.

The former, a sweet merengue single that Karol G dropped last summer, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs, Latin Airplay and Tropical Airplay charts.

The tracklist reveals she reeled in key collaborators for Tropicoqueta, including Panamanian reggae plena artist Eddy Lover on “Dile Luna”; Mexican crooner Marco Antonio Solís on “Coleccionando Heridas”; Colombian pop star Greeicy on “Amiga Mía”; French-Spanish reggae star Manu Chao on “Viajando Por El Mundo”; and for a second collaborative effort, Mariah Angeliq on “FKN Movie.”

Notably, track No. 13 is empty, but if fans search for “Karol G” on Google, they will be led to a clue that hints it could be another collaboration with Feid, following their 2021 “FRIKI.” (Spoiler alert: The screen reads “canción 13 feat. ????” accompanied by a green heart.)

Tropicoqueta is set to be a nostalgic and personal project on which La Bichota recently said she’s “going back to the roots, to the songs I grew up listening to, to the sounds that made me fall in love with music.”
