Latin music icon Maluma surprised fans on Monday, April 27, by announcing his upcoming studio album, Loco x Volver, scheduled for release on May 15. The artist shared the news through an emotional video on social media, describing the project as the most intimate and honest work of his decade-long career.
The announcement arrives as Maluma celebrates major chart success. His collaboration with Kany García, “1+1,” secured the top spot on both the Billboard Latin Airplay and Tropical Airplay charts this week. The album promises a diverse musical journey, featuring urban tracks like “Botero” with Arcángel and NTG, alongside “Pa la seca,” a collaboration with fellow Colombian star Ryan Castro.
A particularly poignant moment on the record is the track “Con el corazón,” featuring the late Yeison Jiménez. Recorded prior to the singer’s tragic passing in January 2026, the song serves as a heartfelt tribute to their friendship and Jiménez’s musical legacy. This collaboration has already resonated deeply with audiences, highlighting the authentic and human tone Maluma has set for this new era.
Loco x Volver reflects Maluma’s creative maturity and his evolution into one of the most influential voices in global pop. Fans across the globe are now counting down to the May 15 release to experience what the superstar calls his deeply personal musical journey.
