Trinidad Cardona Drops New Single and Video, ‘Dinero’

Trinidad Cardona

Rising 18-year-old star Trinidad Cardona has dropped his new Latin-influenced R&B single, “Dinero.” The catchy bilingual track features a unique blend of salsa and R&B production.

Cardona gained notoriety in early 2017 when a video of him freestyling in his school bathroom went viral. Later that Summer, he released a full version of the track he had sung called “Jennifer” after fans demanded it. The song quickly gained millions of views on YouTube and was shared by the likes of Ludacris and Gucci Mane. Its success helped Cardona land an artist deal with Island Records in January.

The Phoenix native has also shared an accompanying video. The visual finds a broke Cardona spending all of his money on a girl he’s trying to impress.

Download “Dinero” on DJcity and watch the video for it above.

In 1999, legendary guitarist Santana released his comeback album, Supernatural. The star-studded project featured a variety of artists, such as Lauryn Hill, CeeLo Green, Dave Mathews, Rob Thomas, and Eric Clapton.

In addition to smashes like “Smooth” and “Maria Maria,” the album also contained a single called “Corazon Espinado” featuring Latin rock group Maná. The song became a hit in Spanish-speaking countries and won the “Record of the Year” and “Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group” at the 2000 Latin Grammy Awards.

Now, almost 20 years later, rising Colombian producer Thombs has dropped a moombahton remix of the track as part of DJcity’s Puro Pari series. His version adds new drums and drops while retaining the original vocals.

Stream it below and download it exclusively on DJcity.

Spotify Now Shows Producer and Songwriter Credits

Spotify

Spotify

Following last week’s changes that benefit remixers, Spotify announced on Friday a new feature that gives producers and songwriters the recognition they deserve.

From now on, users will be able to view the producer and songwriter credits of tracks on the the Spotify’s desktop app. The performers are also listed.

To view the information, right-click on a track and select “Show Credits” from the menu.

Spotify

The credits are provided by record labels, and in some cases, artists. As such, Spotify’s announcement includes the following disclaimer:

“We realize some of the label-provided credits are incomplete or may contain inaccuracies, but this is just the first step in displaying songwriter credits on Spotify. The feature will continually evolve to become more efficient, provide better functionality, and incorporate more information from industry partners over time.”

Tiffany Kumar, global head of songwriter relation at Spotify, said:

“Songwriters are an integral force behind the music we love. With the newly launched credits feature, we aim to increase songwriter and producer visibility and, in turn, foster discovery among new collaborators, industry partners, and fans.”
“The more we share information, the more opportunities we can help create for songwriters. This is just the beginning of making songwriter and producer credits more easily available to Spotify listeners, and we look forward to continually improving that information, in close collaboration with our music industry partners.”

Producer Frank Dukes (Drake, Kanye West, and more) added, “It’s amazing to see Spotify give the unsung heroes of music some recognition on their platform. Definitely a step in the right direction.”

The feature also benefits fans and journalists who have, up until now, had to search for credits outside of Spotify.
