Benny Blanco is giving Spanish-language music a beautiful new meaning with his next project.
The producer, who is set to release his forthcoming album Hermoso (Gorgeous) on Aug. 14, is letting fans take a look at what it’s all about. On Friday (June 11), the artist released “Joven y Salvaje” (young and wild), a song he produced to accompany the vocals of Spanish rapper Bb trickz.
Its rhythmic foundation relies on a simple, repeating melodic structure, paired with a house-inspired beat. Within the track, Trickz delivers verses that capture the rebelliousness and occasional recklessness of youth. “Young and wild/ I haven’t slept, and it’s a Tuesday/ A stoley is in the garage/ I smoke zaza; I’m on Mars,” the rapper says in Spanish.
The music video of the song was also released on YouTube. Directed by Jake Schreier, the clip shows the artist — who previously appeared on Charli XCX’s Brat remix album — moving through a plain, white, minimalist space before getting dressed in racing gear, including a protective jumpsuit, a face cover, gloves, and a helmet. Once she finishes getting dressed, the room explodes with aggressive bursts of fireworks erupting.
Hermoso will be Blanco’s fourth studio album. In 2018, he released his debut project, Friends Keep Secrets. In 2021, he dropped Friends Keep Secrets 2, which expanded on his first album. In 2025, the producer, along with singer and wife Selena Gomez, released a joint project titled I Said I Love You First, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
