ALEJO Ushers in a New Era of Puerto Rican Urban Music with El Playlist 1

The future of Puerto Rico’s urban music scene has a name: ALEJO. On Thursday, October 9, 2025, the dynamic artist dropped his highly anticipated conceptual EP, El Playlist 1, a project that is far more than just a collection of songs—it’s a carefully crafted, six-chapter musical experience. After a year of dominating charts and stages across Europe and Latin America, this release, distributed by ONErpm and his label Jungl, cements ALEJO’s status as one of the most creative new voices in the genre.

The Conceptual Journey of El Playlist 1

El Playlist 1 takes listeners on a deep, nocturnal journey, telling the story of a woman navigating the city guided by a mysterious soundtrack. As ALEJO himself explains, “This EP is a nocturnal journey, a story where each song opens a new door. I wanted people to experience the music as a complete trip, with its highs, lows, and unexpected moments.” The project is a true showcase of the “new urban wave,” featuring raw collaborations with rising talents like Debians, Jovaan, DIA, and BASSY, and produced by his trusted team, Huertas and Báez. Before the official release, an exclusive listening party was held on October 8 at ILA San Juan, attended by key figures like Ñejo and Jowell, celebrating the project’s cinematic visualizers that bring each track—from “Inmortal” to “Lo Ke Estás Buscando”—to life.

International Milestones: Billboard and the Spain Tour

The momentum around El Playlist 1 is quickly translating into international milestones. Just days after the EP dropped, ALEJO is set to make his debut at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami, FL, running from October 20–24. Beyond the US, 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year with the highly anticipated ALEJO Spain Tour. Starting in February 2026 and running through March 27, the tour will hit major Spanish cities including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Seville, offering European fans the chance to experience the intensity of his new material live.
