Global Latin music idol Maluma is #1 on U.S. Latin radio with his brand new smash hit “Junio” garnering the #1 spot on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart, as well as the Latin Pop and Latin Rhythm charts, just after the song’s first full week on the radio. The track is the 22nd number one on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart in the superstar’s career.
“Junio” marks Maluma‘s return to his urban-pop essence, underscoring his multi-faceted talent and versatility. It is an upbeat feel-good pop track with an urban touch set to be part of his upcoming urban-pop album, a follow-up to his acclaimed Papi Juancho.
The song was produced by Édgar Barrera “Edge”, Luis Miguel Gómez “Casta”, Lenin Yorney Palacios “Lexus” as well as Kevyn Cruz “Keytin”; and written by Juan Luis Londoño Arias (Maluma), Kevin Cruz Moreno, Edgar Barrera, Lenin Yorney Palacios, and Luís Miguel Gómez Castaño.
The official video for “Junio” was filmed in Medellín, Colombia; produced by “Royalty Films” and directed by Juan Luis Londoño (Maluma), along with César “Tes” Pimienta and Juan Felipe Zuleta. Throughout the video set in a colorful neighborhood in his hometown, Maluma‘s character is so captivated by a pretty woman that he prays that she will notice him and, after clearing up a misunderstanding, they eventually connect.
