Karol herself dropped the bombshell news in an Instagram video that has fans buzzing, declaring, "I can finally let you know this. My heart is leaking!" While Karol didn't share all the granular details in that initial video, we now know that Tropicoqueta is set to explode onto digital platforms on June 20th! And for the physical collectors, get ready: the vinyl release is slated for September 26th, 2025.

In the exhilarating Instagram clip, Karol bursts into view in a spectacular, sparkly orange outfit, reminiscent of a carnival queen, complete with mini bongo drums strapped to her waist. She flashes that infectious smile, breaking into a dance as a snippet of what fans are convinced is a brand-new track ignites the air. "Where are the people of this party?" Karol sings, as a vibrant rush of trumpets and drums sets an undeniable festive vibe. This short, electrifying glimpse is a clear, exciting departure from the reggaeton-forward "Latina Foreva," showcasing the expansive sonic journey Tropicoqueta is set to take us on.

"Latina Foreva" already dropped on May 22nd, cementing its status as an anthem for the summer. The track, accompanied by a bold video showing Karol chilling in the snow in a bikini, is all about the unapologetic essence of being Latina. "Our curves, the way we’re the life of the party, and how everyone in the world wants to be with a Latina. I feel like the energy we carry has just been contagious," Karol told Rolling Stone, perfectly capturing the spirit that makes her music so universally adored.

This album announcement comes hot on the heels of another major Karol G moment: her Netflix documentary, Tomorrow Was Beautiful. Released last month, the documentary chronographs her monumental 2023 LP, Mañana Será Bonito, and its record-breaking tour. "This is a very special piece for my fans. It’s an opportunity to show people who Carolina is, beyond just Karol G," she shared with Billboard Español at the documentary's premiere.

Tropicoqueta marks Karol's first full album since Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), its deluxe edition, and promises to light up the summer with all her tropical splendour. This is the kind of vibrant, culture-shaping music we live for at ODDWAX. Get ready for the rhythm, the passion, and the pure, unadulterated joy that only Karol G can deliver!

Mark your calendars, ODDWAX faithful: Tropicoqueta drops digitally on June 20th! And you can pre-order Tropicoqueta on ODDWAX Green for the September 26th, 2025 release right here on ODDWAX – this is one you'll want to own on wax. 🥥🌴🔥
