New Music Alert: Hamilton Drops “Contacto Zero” – The Afro-Pop Anthem of 2025

The Colombian sensation Hamilton is back, and he’s setting the tone for the new year with his latest single, “Contacto Zero.” Released on December 24, 2025, just in time for the holiday party season, this track is already making waves across streaming platforms and dance floors alike.

If you’ve been following the rise of Colombian Afrobeat, Hamilton is a name you likely already know. But with “Contacto Zero,” he’s proving that his evolution from the “Afrorockstar” into a global pop contender is well under way.

What is “Contacto Zero” About?

In modern dating culture, “Contacto Zero” (Zero Contact) refers to the psychological practice of cutting all ties with an ex to heal and move on. Hamilton takes this heavy emotional theme and flips it into a high-energy, infectious groove.

Produced with his signature blend of Afro-Caribbean roots, Dancehall, and Urbano Latino, the song explores the tension of trying to stay away from someone who is clearly still on your mind. It’s a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever hovered over the “block” button while secretly wanting to hit “send.”

Key Details of the Release:

• Artist: Hamilton (Hamilton CTG)

• Release Date: December 24, 2025

• Genre: Afrobeat / Latin Pop / Urbano

• Key Themes: Heartbreak, resilience, and moving on.

Why “Contacto Zero” is a Must-Listen

Hamilton has always been an outlier in the Cartagena music scene. While many artists stick strictly to Champeta or traditional Reggaeton, Hamilton’s sound—which he often calls Afrorockstar—draws heavily from African rhythms and global pop.

1. The Production The track features a “Blade Runner-esque” atmospheric synth intro that quickly transitions into a driving, Afro-Caribbean beat. It’s polished, modern, and designed for radio play.

2. Relatable Lyrics With lines written by Alejandro López Pérez and Esteban Fernando Sepulveda, the song captures the “push and pull” of a post-breakup world. It’s about taking your power back—a sentiment that resonates deeply with Gen Z and Millennial listeners.

3. The Visuals The official music video, which premiered on the HAMILTON CTG YouTube channel, showcases Hamilton’s unique style and charismatic performance, further cementing his status as a visual artist as much as a musical one.

The Rise of Hamilton: From Cartagena to the World

Since his 2019 breakout hit “Morena,” Hamilton has been on a steady climb. His debut album, Los Reyes Del Mar (2024), established him as a leader in the Colombian Afro-movement. Now, with “Contacto Zero,” he is clearly aiming for a broader crossover appeal, blending his roots with a sound that wouldn’t be out of place on a global Top 40 playlist.

“This one is for you to dance to,” Hamilton shared with fans upon the song’s release, and the “danceability” factor is definitely at an all-time high.
