Mexican music star Netón Vega wraps up a successful 2025 with the release of an ambitious project: his second studio album, Delirium. In it, he experiments with a variety of sounds and teams up with renowned songwriters and producers such as Edgar Barrera and Benny Blanco.
Coming out on Thursday night (Nov. 13) under La Josa Records — just three weeks after Vega won the Billboard Latin Music Award for artist of the year, debut — Delirium features 15 tracks, including the previously released single “Qué Motor,” the focus track “Lentes” and several standout collaborations: “AQNGP” with Ryan Castro, “90 60 90” with Myke Towers, “Baby de los 2 Miles” with Jowell & Randy, and “Perro Fiel” with Benny Blanco.
In addition to Mexican music — the genre that first launched his career as a songwriter for stars like Peso Pluma and Tito Double P, and later as a singer with last year’s hit “Loco” — the album brings reggaetón, rap, and bachata, brimming with lyrics about love and heartbreak designed to resonate with anyone.
Delirium follows Mi Vida Mi Muerte, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Regional Mexican Albums chart and No. 2 on the Top Latin Albums chart dated March 8.
In an exclusive interview in Las Vegas, the city he chose to debut his new music, Netón Vega talks about his year of successes, his new album, how his collaboration with Benny Blanco came about, and more.
What’s your take on how this year has been for your career?
It’s been a year full of changes, surprises, and very fast growth since the release of my first album. Thank God, people really liked it.
You just won the Billboard Latin Music Award for artist of the year, debut. What was that experience like for you?
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it — it was a big surprise. I had eight nominations, so I was hopeful to win something, and it happened. I was really excited and nervous, especially because I didn’t have anything prepared to say. I’m truly grateful to the people.
Was having Edgar Barrera as one of the producers of your new album Delirium meant to create global and commercial music?
I had already worked with him. In fact, we have a great friendship, so when I told him about what I wanted to do with my new album, he supported me all the way. Edgar brought his intelligence and experience; he knows what people like. I always respect people with a strong track record and learn from their knowledge. I’m still learning, so I truly value other people’s work.
It’s surprising that Benny Blanco is another one of the producers and even collaborated on a track. How did that connection come about?
I never would have imagined meeting him, let alone recording with him. It happened thanks to someone on my team who made the connection. We had two sessions, nothing planned — everything just came together in the moment. The first song we created was “Perro Infiel,” which is the collaboration, and the next day we worked on another track for him, and he produced several more for the album.
How did you manage to work together without knowing each other?
He only speaks English and I only speak Spanish, but someone on my team translated for us. There was good energy from the start. He gives you your space — we have different ways of working, but in the end, we both stepped out of our comfort zones and created things we really liked. He’s used to working with very big artists, but he took the opportunity to work with me.
You’re already a big artist. Are you aware of that?
Yes, I know. And there are many things I don’t know, but I’m learning. Everyone, in any profession, starts from scratch and builds experiences over time — same with me.
Your album Delirium has a bit of everything. Anyone, from any age group, can enjoy one or more songs.
I mainly focused on making the album enjoyable, with positive energy, and something more people could listen to. I don’t want to stick to just one thing — you have to try and experiment. This album is a reflection of everything I’m experiencing. I wanted to break away from the usual and explore new sounds.
What’s left to do for the rest of this important year in your career?
On November 28, I’ll be at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles — it’s my last show of the year. After that, I’ll take some much-needed vacation time and go to Mexico to be with my family, because they are the driving force that keeps me going.
