Elkno Ushers in a New Era With the Release of “Niña”

Medellín-born urban artist Elkno is closing out 2025 on a high note with the release of his latest single, “Niña,” a track that signals both creative growth and a fresh artistic chapter. Announced on December 18, 2025, from Miami, Florida, the release follows a year of momentum for the Colombian artist, marked by his signing with Sony Music Colombia and a steady run of genre-blending releases. More than just a new song, “Niña” serves as a declaration of where Elkno is headed next.

A Song That Showcases Artistic Versatility

At its core, “Niña” highlights Elkno’s versatility as an artist unafraid to experiment while staying true to his roots. Blending reggaeton energy with rhythmic influences that nod to afrobeats, the track explores passion and temptation through evocative lyrics, including the line: “Niña sabes qué pasa si juegas con fuego…” Elkno describes the song as a creative turning point, explaining that it allows him to reveal “another facet, another color, another sound, another rhythm.” This spirit of exploration has become a defining element of his evolving musical identity.

The release of “Niña” is accompanied by a visually striking music video co-directed by TECHINOTOX and LUCH0DGSN. Set in a minimalist environment featuring Elkno alongside a DJ, the video emphasizes texture, lighting, and movement to fully immerse viewers in the song’s pulse. Behind the scenes, producer Nisson Controla and composers Alejandro Cano González and Nisson Pamplona Castañeda help bring the track’s dynamic vision to life, reinforcing Elkno’s commitment to cohesive storytelling across sound and visuals.

Building Momentum After a Breakout Year

Elkno’s rise has been steadily building. In 2024, his track “Comerte a Besos” went viral on TikTok and Instagram, surpassing 10 million organic streams and earning a remix with Ryan Castro and Blessd that reached No. 1 on YouTube trends in Colombia. Beyond his own releases, Elkno has also made his mark as a songwriter, contributing hits for artists like Jhon Alex Castaño and Julián Daza. With more than one million monthly listeners on Spotify, his influence continues to grow across the Latin music landscape.

With “Niña,” Elkno invites listeners into a bold new phase defined by confidence, experimentation, and growth. As he puts it with characteristic charisma, “Behave yourself, and if you’re going to misbehave, call me.” The message is clear: Elkno is entering a new era—and it’s only just beginning.
