It’s already shaping up to be one of the summer’s hottest records. Loaded with smash hits, the first single “Héroe Favorito” bowed at #1 on the Billboard Charts and racked up 18.2 million Spotify streams and counting, while the music video amassed over 121.7 million YouTube/VEVO views.

 

The recent follow-up “Imitadora” continues this hot streak and became this week’s #1 Latin song in the nation dethroning “Despacito” onBilboard’s “Latin Airplay” chart. After teasing it on Instagram, Romeo premiered a sexy and cinematic music video for the song.

 

Once again, Romeo attracted some of the world’s biggest and brightest stars to join the party on Golden. The tracklisting, which he personally revealed on Instagram, makes the record an event in and of itself. He collaborates with everyone from Swizz Beatz [“Premio”], Nicky Jam & Daddy Yankee [“Bella y Sensual”], Julio Iglesias [“El Amigo”], Jessie Reyez [“Un Vuelo A La”], and more. As showcased by all 18 tracks, it’s his most personal, passionate, and powerful album to date.
