Playa Saturno (English: Saturn Beach) is the fourth studio album by Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro, released on July 7, 2023, by Sony Music Latin and Duars Entertainment.[1] [2] It was introduced as a spin-off, and released nearly 7 months after his third studio album Saturno (2022).[3] [4] Alejandro began working on the album during his Saturno World Tour, immersing himself from the studio into the cosmic world he created, resulting in this 14-track project. While taking on a different sonic approach from its prequel, the record covers a variety of topics from love and heartbreak, to having fun and partying.

Playa Saturno debuted at number 29 on the US Billboard 200, including number 3 on the Latin Rhythm Albums and number 4 on the Top Latin Albums chart with over 21,000 album-equivalent units.[5]

Background and release

Following the release of his third studio album Saturno and his 3-track EP RR with then fiancé Rosalía, Alejandro confirmed that his next album would likely be released in the summer of 2023.

On July 4, 2023, he announced the album's release date and revealed the cover art. With plans to rest following the release of this album, Alejandro told fans to enjoy for a while because he did not know when he'd plan to record another. [6] [7] [8] On July 6, 2023, Alejandro revealed the tracklist with features from Ñejo & Dalmata, Junior H, Jowell & Randy, Ivy Queen, and Bizarrap.[9]

The first single of the album was "Baby Hello", a collaboration with Bizarrap released on June 23, 2023.[10]

The second single "Si Te Pegas", is a collaboration with Spanish singer Miguel Bosé, which was released as a single alongside the album.[11]
