Mon Laferte & Nathy Peluso Shine in New Bolero “La Tirana”
It’s hard to imagine Mon Laferte’s music carrying even more intensity until she joined forces with powerhouse Nathy Peluso. Together, they deliver “La Tirana,” a bold and passionate bolero that pays homage to the legendary La Lupe while redefining the genre for a new generation.
The single, co-written by both artists, is part of Laferte’s upcoming album Femme Fatale, due out before the end of the year. The collaboration immediately caught the attention of fans, who had been buzzing ever since the singers posted a mysterious elevator photo back in January 2025. Now, their much-anticipated union has arrived, proving worth every ounce of the hype.
A Vintage Aesthetic with Modern Fire
Directed by Chilean filmmaker Camila Grandi, the official video captures the elegance and nostalgia of classic Latin boleros. Its visual language draws inspiration from Cabaret, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and vaudeville, blending glamour with raw emotion. Live arrangements of violins, brass, and traditional percussion provide a lush backdrop, amplifying the drama in both women’s voices.
Lyrically, “La Tirana” delves into the emotional struggles of strong women who are often misunderstood or labeled as intimidating:
I have love problems and I don’t know how to cure them
That man doesn’t understand
He doesn’t see that I too, have fragility in me
Girlfriend, I understand you so much, it’s an infernal problem
The same happens to me, we haven’t hurt anyone
And still, they call us tyrants
The duet’s confessional tone and theatrical flair highlight both artists’ ability to embody vulnerability and strength at once.
Career Highs & Latin Grammy Spotlight
The release of “La Tirana” coincides with two major milestones: both Mon Laferte and Nathy Peluso have earned Latin Grammy 2025 nominations, underscoring their influence in today’s Latin music landscape. Meanwhile, Laferte just wrapped a sold-out run in Mexico City’s iconic musical Cabaret, dazzling audiences as Sally Bowles at Teatro de Los Insurgentes.
Femme Fatale: A Bold New Chapter
“La Tirana” follows previous Femme Fatale singles “Otra Noche de Llorar” and “Esto Es Amor,” the latter a collaboration with Argentine rock band Conociendo Rusia. The upcoming album promises to be a daring exploration of femininity, desire, and artistry, further cementing Mon Laferte as one of the most versatile voices in Latin music.
With “La Tirana,” Mon Laferte and Nathy Peluso don’t just revive the bolero, they reinvent it, channeling the soul of La Lupe while creating something distinctly their own. It’s a reminder that when two fearless artists unite, the result is nothing short of electric.
