Argentine singer, songwriter, rapper and provocateur Nathy Peluso has released the new single “EROTIKA.” The song is inspired by the early 1990s salsa erotica scene in New York City.
“Erotika” dropped hours before Nathy kicked off her first US tour at The Fillmore in Miami, following her successful GRASA tour in the UK and Europe. “From the moment she steps onto the stage at London’s Roundhouse,” PAPER writes “Nathy Peluso has the crowd in the palm of her hands as she effortlessly commands the stage with her infectious energy and flawless vocals. As a performer, the Latin superstar is an all-encompassing force of nature that radiates confidence and supreme talent.

Nathy will bring the GRASA experience to North American audiences including New York, Chicago, DC, and Los Angeles. Later, she will continue her tour of Latin America's biggest festivals, including Lollapalooza Argentina, Lollapalooza Chile and Estéreo Picnic.
“EROTIKA” is co-written by Nathy with Manu Lara, Servando Primera and Danicrazytown. The bass sets the stage for a vibrant track, while the percussion—timbales, congas, and bongos—creates a powerful rhythmic foundation. The fire of the brass section (trumpet and trombone) ignites every note, making the track an undeniable invitation to dance. To bring this explosive sound to life, Nathy has assembled an exceptional lineup of musicians: Grupo Niche, Daniel Márquez, Sergio Múnera, Anderson Quintero, Roinel Vega, and Johan Escalante.
Since the beginning of her career, Nathy Peluso has seamlessly incorporated salsa into her sonic universe with authenticity and mastery. In MAFIOSA, she channeled the commanding trombones of Willie Colón; in LA PRESA, she co-wrote a tale of crime and passion with Servando Primera, echoing the narrative style of Rubén Blades, supported by musicians from El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. In PURO VENENO, she embraced an electrifying mambo with a distinctive '80s essence, and in Sugga, she infused elements of salsa pop reminiscent of Miami Sound Machine.
With EROTIKA, Nathy delves deeper into the sensuality of salsa erótica, reaffirming its power and relevance in today’s music scene. At the same time, she presents a provocative and empowering narrative. Traditionally, salsa has depicted femininity from a romantic, melancholic, or dreamy perspective, but with her approach, Nathy aims to reclaim the strength and defiant attitude that have historically shaped the male-driven narrative—making it entirely her own.
The track is accompanied by a music video directed by Iris Valles and Alex Olten (Garra) and produced by Roma. In a minimalist, early 2000s-inspired aesthetic, Nathy exudes unstoppable energy in a visually striking production, intense and vibrant like the dominant red that colors each frame. She dances frenetically, alone and with others, in a declaration of power and sensuality that reinforces the essence of EROTIKA.
“She owned the stage, proving that you can be a pop star while making quality music. The secret? Talent, dedication, and the courage to say no [...] Nathy Peluso is a complete pop star.”
Rolling Stone Italia
“Peluso is a kind of fearless pop superhero who doesn’t just sing but becomes a spokesperson for stories of strength, freedom (including artistic freedom), and self-acceptance.”
L’Officiel Italia
Last month Argentine singer, songwriter, rapper, and provocateur Nathy Peluso closed out her UK & European tour with a sold-out show at London’s iconic Roundhouse in Camden. The electrifying finale capped off a streak of packed sold-out performances across Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Belgium, solidifying her as one of the most dynamic live acts today.
As Rolling Stone Italia raved, “With a setlist of 26 songs and almost two hours of non-stop energy, Nathy keeps the audience on an emotional rollercoaster. She moves seamlessly from dramatic moments (Corleone, Mafiosa) to streetwise bangers (Todo Roto, Nasty Girl, Corashe), commanding the stage with a mix of boldness and precision.”
Her sophomore album, GRASA, was hailed as one of the best of the year by Dazed for its effortless blend of rap, ballads, and tropical rhythms, while The Guardian crowned her a “Latin Pop Polymath.” Her last London performance at Shepherd’s Bush Empire in 2022 earned a 5-star review from The Times.
The critically acclaimed album earned a GRAMMY nomination, dominated the 2023 Latin GRAMMYs with three wins: Best Alternative Song (“El Día Que Perdí Mi Juventud” feat. Blood Orange), Best Rap/Hip-Hop Song(“Aprender A Amar”), and Best Long Form Video (for the GRASA film).
December saw Nathy making her U.S. late-night television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she delivered a stunning medley of "El Día Que Perdí Mi Juventud" (featuring special guest Blood Orange) and "Corleone."
Now, the GRASA Tour is headed to North America, kicking off next month in Miami before hitting Washington D.C., New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
"This tour is all about embracing who we are and celebrating it with every beat,” Nathy shares. “It’s raw and full of energy. I can't wait to share these unforgettable moments with all of you!"
Fresh off the success of GRASA, Nathy recently unveiled CLUB GRASA, her first-ever remix EP, where handpicked producers reimagine eight tracks from the album in their unique styles. One standout is “MENINA”, featuring Spanish-Brazilian breakout star Lua de Santana, remixed by GRAMMY-winning British producer Mura Masa.
A fearless exploration of artistry and identity, GRASA marks a new era for Nathy Peluso. The album showcases her evolution as a songwriter and performer, blending rap, ballads, and tropical influences. With deeply personal and introspective lyrics, she opens up about the pressures of fame, the challenges of creative expression, and the resilience it takes to navigate the industry on her own terms.
Co-producing and co-writing all 16 tracks, Nathy worked closely with Venezuelan musician and producer Manuel Lara (Kali Uchis, Bad Bunny), who served as the album’s executive producer alongside her. The result is a genre-blurring sonic journey, drawing inspiration from mafia cinema, 1970s New York salsa, and hip-hop icons like Kendrick Lamar—all while staying unmistakably Nathy.
Nathy’s rise to international stardom began with Calambre (2020), which won Best Alternative Album at the 2021 Latin GRAMMYs and featured collaborations with Bizarrap, C. Tangana, and Tiago PZK. She’s since played Coachella, Primavera, Mad Cool and sold out two Movistar Arenas in Buenos Aires, and toured extensively across Spain.
