Write a comment Laufey has just released a new song called “Mr. Eclectic.” In fact, she dropped an entire album, but this piece will focus only on that track. If you haven’t heard of Laufey yet, it’s long overdue. She burst onto the scene a few years ago, thanks to her remarkable songwriting and performance skills. Let’s talk about this one.
1 Comment Daniel Caesar has released a new song titled “Call On Me.” As a longtime Daniel Caesar superfan, I couldn’t be more excited. Right from the start, the track feels like a new sound—something I haven’t heard from him before. But when the drums kick in, his iconic style comes rushing back. The song immediately feels like home, though it’s a renovated home, built on a familiar foundation but refreshed in a whole new way.
Write a comment In anticipation of his upcoming album, Khalid has dropped a new track called “in plain sight.” The first thing that struck me about it is the immaculate production—the sounds pop in all the right ways. The snappy kick drum, paired with the wah-wah Moog bass and soft background synths, makes the track effortlessly listenable.
Write a comment KAYTRANADA returns with a new single, “SPACE INVADER,” a track that reaffirms his status as one of electronic music’s most distinctive voices. As a longtime fan, I’m always excited when he drops something new. His music is consistently full of interesting sounds, rhythms, and vocal chops—sometimes danceable, sometimes funky—but always unmistakably KAYTRANADA.
Write a comment Following their summer release “Knock Down, Drag Out”, London-based pop-rock band The Wild Things have returned with a searing new single “I Can’t Wait”. This track marks the second chapter in their New Orleans-set sonic love story, transitioning from passionate infatuation to a cathartic release of frustration and empowerment.
1 Comment Two great artists, Disclosure and Anderson .Paak, have teamed up for a new track called “No Cap”, and honestly, it’s electric. Both of them shine on their own, but together it’s next-level stuff. If you’re only familiar with one of them, this pairing might seem surprising at first. However, both artists have a history of stepping outside their usual lanes and thriving in genre-blending collaborations.
Write a comment The rap icon JID has just released a new full-length album titled God Does Like Ugly. I’ve been an avid listener since his earliest releases, and with this project, I see no signs of him slowing down anytime soon. My favorite tracks are “No Boo,” “Gz,” and “VCRs.” With this album, JID has cemented himself as a genre leader, an influential voice, and an artist worth aspiring to.
1 Comment Ed Sheeran hardly needs an introduction, but he’s just released a new track called “A Little More.” It’s super catchy. I think I’ve heard most of Ed Sheeran’s songs, and this might be the most soul/R&B-influenced one yet. I’m sure he’s collaborated with R&B artists before, but this is all his own work.
Write a comment Glass Animals have released a new song called “Vampire Bat.” I’m always eager to hear what this band puts out. They tend to change up their sound quite often, and they consistently display incredible songwriting skills. Let’s dive into what’s going on with Vampire Bat!
1 Comment Mariah Carey, the undisputed high priestess of RnB melisma, is back with a new single that’s equal parts syrup, spice, and certified silk. Titled “Sugar Sweet,” the track sees her linking up with Kehlani and Shenseea in a three-way vocal flex that makes it clear: the queen still has her crown, and she’s not done decorating it.
Write a comment I was entertained by an article from Shaad D’Souza, which highlighted the fresh twist a Norwegian duo of electronic music was bringing to the club music scene. Hayley Scott also did great work exploring the phenomenology of disorientation and fragmentation that this group might evoke. But when I listened to the album myself , god, I felt like, no matter how well people write about Smerz and their new album Big City Life, it will never be enough.
Write a comment Kirby’s latest album, Luckiest Man in America, is, in reality, the soundtrack for a recent film of the same name, directed by Samir Olivieros. It’s interesting to witness Kirby’s playful, tropical style colliding with a movie that leans so heavily into vintage aesthetics, its colour palette evoking the golden era of CRT television, with 80s costumes, big hair, and of course, the central theme: American TV game shows of that same decade.
Write a comment One of my favourite artists, Amber Mark, just released a new song called “Sweet Serotonin”. While I’m excited about this new track, my all-time favourite by her is still her performance of “Most Men” on “A COLORS SHOW”. It’s truly something special. Amber has already achieved so much musically, and if this latest release is any sign, there’s plenty more to come.
Write a comment The artist April recently released a full album, and among its highlights is the track “Axe To Grind”. While I’m focusing on this one song, I’d highly recommend giving the entire album a listen — it’s worth your time.
