REIK Returns to Their Essence With TQ+, A Bold New Album Blending Ballads, Modern Sounds & Major Collaborations

Mexican pop icons REIK are embracing both nostalgia and evolution with the release of TQ+, a full-length album that expands on their celebrated return to emotionally driven ballads while pushing their sound into a fresh, modern era. Made up of Bibi Marín, Jesús Navarro, and Julio Ramírez, the trio once again proves why they remain one of Latin pop’s most enduring and influential groups.

A Two-Part Journey Back to REIK’s Core

The story of TQ+ began in May, when REIK released TQ, an EP centered on sweet vocal harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and warm acoustic guitars—the sonic DNA that first connected them with fans around the world. That initial chapter reflected maturity, confidence, and the clarity that comes from two decades of making music.

Now, TQ+ completes that vision.

“We wanted to return to REIK’s essence. So, in the first part, we focused on bringing that guitar-driven sound into today’s experiences. Meanwhile, in the second part, our goal was to take style to its maximum expression with a more modern side.”

Fresh Collaborations & New Sonic Explorations

While staying true to their roots, TQ+ introduces fresh sounds and strategic collaborations that broaden the album’s emotional and stylistic range. The project features familiar voices like Xavi and Yami Safdie, alongside exciting new partnerships with Gabito Ballesteros and Leo Rizzi.

One standout moment is “VIERNES”, featuring Gabito Ballesteros, which blends REIK’s melodic sensitivity with contemporary regional-pop textures, showcasing the group’s ability to evolve without losing authenticity.

Another major highlight, “La Del Primer Puesto” featuring Xavi, has become one of the group’s biggest recent successes.

Chart Success & Industry Recognition

“La Del Primer Puesto” reached No. 1 on the Radio Pop chart and continues its impressive run, currently holding strong in the Top 10 for 10 consecutive weeks, a testament to REIK’s sustained radio dominance.

Adding to their accolades, REIK recently took home Best Pop Song at the 2025 Premios Juventud for their hit “Mientes,” reinforcing their relevance across generations of Latin music fans.

Celebrating 20 Years of REIK

The release of TQ+ arrives at a pivotal moment in the group’s career. In 2025, REIK will officially celebrate their 20th anniversary, marking two decades of chart-topping songs, global tours, and emotional anthems that have defined Latin pop.

To commemorate the milestone, REIK will launch a U.S. tour in March 2026, with confirmed stops in:

• Chicago
• New York
• Hollywood
• Los Angeles
• And more cities to be announced

Following the U.S. run, the trio will continue their celebrations across Latin America:

• May 9 – Monterrey
• May 14 – Costa 21, Lima
• May 22 – Guadalajara (homecoming show)

Why TQ+ Matters for Latin Pop

TQ+ isn’t just another album, it’s a statement. REIK demonstrates how legacy artists can honor their origins while embracing new sounds, new collaborators, and new audiences. The project bridges classic Latin pop balladry with today’s evolving musical landscape, reaffirming REIK’s place as genre leaders.

As they approach their 20-year milestone, TQ+ feels like both a celebration of where they’ve been—and a confident look at what’s still ahead.
