The infamous nu metal band are back with an album hilariously titled Still Sucks, and the opening track is enough to turn a whole new generation into Limp Bizkit fans.

Charlie Puth has been around for longer than we might think, with his first Youtube channel being created in 2009, but he found his first real taste of the spotlight in 2015 with his hit Marvyn Gaye. His latest release, Left and Right, also features Jung Kook, a member of the South Korean boy band phenomenon BTS who adds an excellent foil for the vocal performance of the song.
The big movie hype at the moment is the Baz Lurman biopic Elvis. This week we see Maneskin of Eurovision fame release their cover of the Elvis track ‘If I can Dream’. If I am honest, I don’t know the original well, it was featured on the 1968 ‘Comeback special’ but was never in the same league as some of Elvis’ classic tracks. The Italian Band Maneskin have gone from strength to strength since their Eurovision win in 2021 with Ziiti e bourni and I was intrigued to see how they would blend their style with this film score!
You may know Chloe as one half of duo Chloe x Halle, where she teams up with her sister to perform some powerful R&B classics, but she also has a strong portfolio of solo work that showcases her individual talent as a singer, songwriter and producer.
Back from its slumber, now solo-project Panic! At the Disco returns with a song that both sounds straight from the 70s, but also deeply rooted in modern songwriting in ‘Viva Las Vengeance’.
Harry Styles has returned for a third LP, taking his musical ambition to levels higher than ever before, best displayed by the opening track of his newest record, ‘Harry’s House’, titled ‘Music for a Sushi Restaurant’.
Veering in another new direction, like Bring Me the Horizon have done from the beginning of their career, ‘Fallout’ featuring Masked Wolf lets the two groups explore a whole new array of sounds, complimenting each other beautifully.
Leaning a bit more heavily into the R&B side of her music, Laufey presents to the world a soft lullaby of a slow R&B jam, titled ‘Everything I Know About Love’.
Dan Avidan, teamed up with longtime Ninja Sex Party’s producer, Jim Roach, decided to create a project, called Shadow Academy, proving that the duo shine outside of the realm of comedy in their newest, rocking single, ‘Invisible’.
Back with his first single in almost a decade, James LaBrie of Dream Theater fame has come back with a hard rock gem, ‘Devil In Drag’, giving us the first tease of his upcoming studio album.
Switching the normally chill, soulful old-school R&B vibe to instead take the other side of that same coin, Cory Henry takes it to the dance floor with ‘The Fool’, a fast-paced dance anthem.
The second leading single from James LaBrie of Dream Theater notoriety, ‘Give and Take’, showcases another side of LaBrie, one that has been beautifully explored in Dream Theater’s discography and wonderfully expanded in this newest single.
Cole Swindell takes a fun twist to the classic pop-country formula with his newest single, ‘Stereotype’, where he takes what makes the genre so fun in an even more modern lens.
Tones and I does it again, with another incredibly groovy single that brings all kinds of surprises, titled ‘Eyes Don’t Lie’.
