4EVE is a Thai girl group, and they’ve recently dropped a new track called “LIKE YOU.”
Alessi Rose has released a new track called “Same Mouth,” and it immediately feels like it belongs in the current landscape of well-loved alt-pop and pop-punk. That said, Alessi brings her own spin to the sound. After a few listens, it’s clear you don’t need to reinvent the wheel to create something beautiful. “Same Mouth” feels free-spirited and emotionally open—like letting go of something that’s been holding you back. That feeling really comes through in the chorus and bridge.
GIVĒON has released a new song called “RATHER BE.” I haven’t really listened to him before—or at least, not with full attention. But now that I’m tuning in properly, the first thing that strikes me is: good god, what a voice.
AJ Tracey has just released a new track called “Paid In Full.” I’ve never really dived into his catalog before, but I know he’s collaborated with artists I enjoy, like Giggs and Jorja Smith.
1tbsp has just released a new track called “Isso,” and right from the jump, there's so much to love. It’s been a while since I’ve felt so genuinely puzzled—in the best way—by a piece of music. I don’t fully understand what’s happening in this track, and that’s part of what makes it so exciting. Its uniqueness is undeniable, and there are so many fascinating elements to explore—so let’s dive in.
Aminé has just dropped a new track called “Vacay”, and based on the title alone, I already like the direction it’s headed. The beat is full of energy—it reminds me of something Channel Tres might produce, but with a cleaner, less murky sound. I’ve always loved when rap and hip hop lean into that four-on-the-floor rhythm; it gives the track momentum and makes it instantly danceable.
Dope Lemon recently dropped a really cool track called “She’s All Time”, featured on his latest album Golden Wolf. The song feels effortlessly pure, paired with a fun, bubbly music video that matches its vibe perfectly. I can totally see this one landing on plenty of summer playlists.
Cosima Olu has just released a new song titled “Ocean”—and you should definitely give it a listen. Here are a few quick reasons why:
BADBADNOTGOOD, or BBNG, has just released a new track called “Found A Light”—and it’s packed with beautiful, subtle moments. One of the best parts? The spotlight they’ve given to featured vocalist V.C.R. It’s refreshing to see a band of BBNG’s stature fully credit and elevate the singers they collaborate with. V.C.R might still be considered indie, but she’s already made some waves on her own. Here, though, she truly shines—her voice is top-tier, and it’s easy to understand why BBNG chose to work with her.
Ed Sheeran recently released a new song titled “Old Phone,” the second single from his upcoming album Play, following “Azizam.” I’ve been listening to Ed since he put out “Lego House” and all those other early hits. I’m not going to pretend I discovered him before he got big—I didn’t. But “Old Phone” is yet another great piece from one of the all-time greatest songwriters.
Just recently, Green Day dropped a new track called “Ballyhoo.” I’m writing this review as someone who used to scream the lyrics to “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and play “Basket Case” covers on my electric guitar. So yes—I’m definitely open to hearing anything Green Day has to offer. They've already earned my lifelong attention.
Following my review of Addison Rae’s “Headphones On,” I’m now turning to Alex Isley and her latest release, “Mic On.” Not to take anything away from either of those tracks, but I guess this week artists really want us to turn things on and put stuff on.
When I look at the cover art for Alex Porat’s new track “Better Than That,” it kind of looks like she’s on her way somewhere—while also striking a fabulous pose. I’m not sure how that image would translate into audio, and since I’ve never heard anything from Alex Porat before, I’m excited to find out.
