Kevin Kaarl’s “Esta Noche” Tops New Music Latin Poll with Overwhelming Support
Mexican singer-songwriter Kevin Kaarl’s latest single, “Esta Noche,” has captured the hearts of listeners, earning the top spot in this week’s Billboard New Music Latin poll. The nostalgic track, released on November 22, garnered more than 95% of the vote, surpassing other notable releases, including Quevedo’s album BUENAS NOCHES, Kenia Os’ “Tokome,” and Ricardo Arjona’s “Despacio Que Hay Prisa.”
Produced by his twin brother Bryan Kaarl, “Esta Noche” explores themes of love, heartbreak, and emotional closure. The song vividly depicts the moments surrounding the end of a relationship, offering a raw and mature perspective on loss and healing. Kevin describes the single as a cornerstone for his forthcoming studio album, ULTRA SODADE.
“’Esta Noche’ is a song I started writing months ago, telling the story of a couple right when their relationship ends,” Kevin Kaarl explained in a press statement. “This song marks the beginning of the entire album, the start of a complete story. Everything that happens after a breakup, with a more mature perspective on love and relationships.”
The song’s accompanying music video adds another layer to the narrative, serving as the first installment of a trilogy of visuals. Together, these videos will culminate in a short film that expands on the album’s themes of love, loss, and emotional growth. This ambitious storytelling approach reflects Kaarl’s deep commitment to connecting with his audience through both music and visuals.
Kaarl first gained recognition with his heartfelt single “Te Quiero Tanto,” also produced by Bryan, and has since become a key voice in the Latin indie-folk scene. With “Esta Noche,” he continues to evolve artistically, blending poignant lyrics with compelling melodies that resonate deeply with fans.
The overwhelming success of “Esta Noche” in this week’s poll underscores Kaarl’s growing influence and the anticipation surrounding ULTRA SODADE. As listeners embrace the song’s intimate storytelling and emotional depth, they’re also eagerly awaiting what promises to be a defining album for the artist.
For now, “Esta Noche” stands as a testament to Kevin Kaarl’s ability to channel personal experiences into universal emotions, solidifying his place as one of the most compelling artists in the Latin music landscape.
