Fans Choose The Warning & Carín León’s ‘Love to Be Loved’ as Their Favorite New Latin Music of the Week

The Warning and Carín León’s “Love to be Loved” has topped Billboard’s Latin music poll published on Feb. 6.

In support of the weekly New Music Latin roundup and playlist, curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors, music fans voted for the Mexican collaboration as their favorite music release of the week.

“Love to Be Loved” generated more than 60% of the vote, beating out other new releases including Carlos Vives’ “Te Dedico” and a new W Sound tune by Myke Towers, Westcol and Ovy on the Drums called “5 Estrellas.” Meanwhile, “Bajo Cero” by former CNCO members Erick Brian and Christopher Vélez was a close second in the weekly poll with nearly 35 percent of the vote.

Cowritten by the Monterrey-based group and superstar Teddy Swims, “Love to Be Loved” finds the Mexican trio — the Villarreal Vélez sisters (Daniela, Paulina and Alejandra) — rocking out with León on his first-ever contribution sung entirely in English. The song meshes country and rock backed by León’s and The Warning’s powerhouse harmonies. 

“As a rock band, this is something completely different for us and a chance to explore new sounds,” The Warning said in a press statement at the time. ”Blending musical worlds is always exciting, and working with our fellow Mexican artist Carín León made the experience even more special. It’s a collaboration that pushed us creatively and shows a new side of The Warning.”
