The light’s shining bright on Thalia

The 49-year-old Mexican superstar has returned with a brand new single, “La Luz,” featuring Puerto Rican rapper/singer Myke Towers.

The hypnotizing track, released by Sony Music Latin, sees Thalia striking a perfect balance between pop and urban. It will appear on forthcoming album.

With an assist from hitmakers  Towers and Tainy, the new party anthem provides an escapism to a realm where only Thalia and Towers have access to and music never stops.

“I recorded ‘La Luz’ thinking about my people and the opportunity that music gives us to raise our level of positivism and joy,” Thalía said about the song. “Which is what is most needed today.”

The video, shot between New York and Puerto Rico finds the artists in a rustic set full of neon lights.

In it, Thalia shines bright in a yellow jumpsuit in one scene and later changes into a bedazzled angelic white bodysuit as she exchanges rap verses with Myke Towers.

“Getting to collaborate with one of the biggest female names in Latin is an honor for me. ‘La Luz’ was fun to jump on because we’re bringing a new flow with Thalía,” added Towers.

La Luz,” an uptempo track with Colombian rhythms, was written by the Latin Grammy-winning singer and produced by Steve Lillywhite (The Killers, U2).

Juanes recorded the track in Los Angeles with Emmanuel “Meme” del Real, of Mexican rock band Café Tacuba. A video, filmed in the historic resort city of Cartagena, will be released soon.

The as-yet untitled new album will be his first studio effort since 2010’s P.A.R.C.E. and first major release since the “La Camisa Negra” singer’s MTV Unplugged session last year, which topped Billboard’s Hot Latin Albums chart.
