Kesha has teamed up with legendary DJ and producer Armin van Buuren for a new club-ready remix of “DELUSIONAL.,” bringing a hard-hitting trance edge to one of the standout tracks from her sixth studio album, .(PERIOD). “DELUSIONAL. (Armin van Buuren Remix)” is out now via Kesha Records and has already made waves across social media and festival crowds ahead of its official release.

Fresh off a string of chart-topping releases, Ella Langley returns with “Dandelion,” the title track from her upcoming sophomore album, Dandelion, set to arrive on April 10, 2026. The single introduces a more reflective and mature sound, marking a thematic shift from the party-heavy energy of her debut album, Hungover, to what Langley describes as her “detox” era.

We managed to get an advance listen to “Ah Ya,” the new collaboration from Christine and the Queens and Thee Diane, and it opens with an unexpected sense of restraint. A cinematic swell follows, with a textured and atmospheric introduction led by strings, creating immediate tension and scale. The listener is left unsure where the song is heading until the beat finally arrives.

After an advanced listen, Sébastien Tellier’s Kiss The Beast feels like a carefully curated return to his most seductive instincts, while still pushing into stranger, more modern territory. Set for release this Friday, January 30, 2026 via Because Music, the album moves fluidly between intimate synth pop, disco flash, and moments of unsettling beauty, all held together by Tellier’s unmistakable sense of atmosphere. It plays like a waking dream, sometimes comforting, sometimes disorienting, but always deliberate.

The title and image of Mitski’s new release, “Where’s My Phone?”, are immediately striking. It feels like it could go one of two ways: a genuine work of art or another piece of lukewarm modern drivel. Thankfully, it’s the former. This song is undeniably art, and it sounds incredible. Even without prior familiarity with Mitski’s music, the name carries a quiet weight, lingering somewhere in the background.

It was exciting to see Arctic Monkeys return with a new single. The band played a defining role for many listeners in the early 2010s, especially during the AM era, when songs like “Do I Wanna Know?”, “R U Mine?” and “Arabella” became lasting fan favorites.

Madison Beer has released a new album titled Locket. This piece zeroes in on one of its standout tracks, “Bad Enough,” though I definitely recommend giving the entire album a listen—you’re almost guaranteed to find something that catches your attention.

Carpenter Brut has released his new single “The Misfits The Rebels,” the latest track taken from his forthcoming album Leather Temple, due out February 27 via No Quarter Prod and Virgin Records.

As Megadeth count down the days to the release of their final studio album, the band have unveiled “Puppet Parade,” the last single fans will hear before the self titled record arrives this Friday, January 23. The song closes out the album’s rollout with a darker, more reflective tone that feels intentionally full circle for a band preparing to say goodbye.
