New Heartbreak Ballad
Carin León and Alejandro Fernández have just teamed up for the summer’s ultimate torch song. On September 1, the duo dropped “Me Está Doliendo” (“It’s Hurting Me”), a slow-burning ballad that blends León’s regional Mexican roots with Fernández’s polished pop-mariachi style. Fans can stream the single now on all major platforms, with links available via @mgmlive’s bio on Instagram.
About “me Está Doliendo”
Penned by a team of songwriters tapped for their emotive storytelling, “Me Está Doliendo” finds both vocalists trading verses about love gone wrong. Carin León opens with raw, confessional lines over sparse guitar plucks, while Alejandro Fernández elevates the chorus with his signature vibrato. The result is a polished yet achingly personal production, anchored by cinematic strings and a delicate horn arrangement.
León, 34, first gained attention as the frontman of Grupo Arranke before breaking out solo in 2020 with hits like “Tú” and “Nunca Es Suficiente.” Fernández, 51, is one of Mexico’s best-selling artists worldwide, known for albums such as Hecho en México (2020) and Studio-Tribute to José Alfredo Jiménez (2019). Though they hail from different musical circles, their collaboration on this track underscores a shared commitment to storytelling through song.
Vegas Dates At Mgm Grand Garden Arena
To celebrate the release, @mgmlive has announced back-to-back nights at Las Vegas’s premier venue. Carin León takes the stage on Tuesday, September 12, while Alejandro Fernández headlines his own show on Wednesday, September 13. Both concerts will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the same stage that has hosted everyone from Lady Gaga’s Chromatica Ball to championship UFC fights.
Tickets went on sale directly through MGM Live’s official channels, with VIP packages including meet-and-greet opportunities, commemorative laminate passes, and exclusive merch bundles. Fans who stream “Me Está Doliendo” now can also enter a drawing for free upgrades; details are posted on @mgmlive and the artists’ Instagram pages.
A Look At The Artists’ Trajectories
Carin León’s rise has been meteoric: His fusion of norteño, banda, and pop elements has translated into sold-out tours across Mexico and the U.S. Known for his earnest delivery and charismatic stage presence, León often incorporates stripped-down sets that spotlight his vocals and guitar work.
Alejandro Fernández—nicknamed “El Potrillo” (The Colt)—comes from a family legacy of ranchera music but has crossed over into mainstream pop. Over a three-decade career, he’s amassed multiple Latin Grammy wins and billions of streams globally. His live shows marry mariachi ensembles with elaborate staging, ensuring each performance is a visual feast.
What Fans Are Saying
Early reactions on social media have praised the pairing. On Twitter, one listener wrote, “Carin and Alejandro prove heartbreak never sounded so good,” while an Instagram comment noted, “This is the duet we didn’t know we needed—pure magic.” Streaming numbers hit six figures within hours of release, signaling strong demand for more Latin collaborations this season.
Looking Ahead
While “Me Está Doliendo” leads the charge, both artists hint at additional joint appearances. In recent Instagram stories, León and Fernández teased a behind-the-scenes video from the recording session, promising fans a closer look at their creative process. Whether this marks the beginning of a longer partnership remains to be seen, but for now, listeners can soak up every poignant note of their first shared single.
From a stirring new track to two headline shows under the Las Vegas lights, Carin León and Alejandro Fernández have made this September one to mark on your calendar. Stream “Me Está Doliendo” today and secure your seat for an unforgettable night at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
