Rising artist Pilar Victoria is known for blending upbeat pop with melancholic undertones. Her latest single, “Headphones”, is here, and it’s a melodic journey through love and loss that’s bound to resonate with anyone who’s ever faced heartbreak.

Pilar Victoria, who grew up in Argentina and now calls Texas home, has a unique multicultural background that seeps into every note she sings. Her music is a beautiful tapestry of soulful melodies and deeply personal lyrics, reflecting her rich heritage and diverse experiences.

Her musical journey started young. Pilar Victoria was writing songs and playing instruments by the age of 11. Despite strict restrictions on social media usage, her passion couldn’t be contained. She began posting snippets of her music on TikTok, quickly gaining a loyal following. “I wasn’t allowed to be on social media growing up, but I decided to be anyways,” Pilar Victoria reveals. “I posted small clips of my songs on TikTok and got a lot of positive attention. It led me to release music on Spotify. I even had to convince my parents to support me financially for the distributor service.”

Now, with “Headphones”, Pilar offers us her take on love and loss. The song, co-written with Nowels in Santa Monica, combines the melancholy of heartbreak with an infectious pop beat. Pilar explains, “I wrote this song during a tough time. I wanted to block out all the pain and intense emotions I was feeling, and putting on headphones became a metaphor for tuning out the world and being alone with my thoughts.”

As she continues her journey as an independent artist, this new release is an invitation to explore the depths of her artistry.

French singer Yseult has released FREAK, her third studio album, out now through her own label, Y.Y.Y. The 12 track record arrived on October 30, 2026, and it presents the artist fully in command of her work, writing, shaping and releasing the album on her own terms.

The tracklist runs Daddy (intro), 1-800 Adults Only, Heart Attack, Freak featuring JT, S#xx, Is It a Crime, Superstar, Dear God, S#x Youself, Now or Never, One More Time and a closing original version of Freak. One More Time was co-written with Rachel West, Jarrett Goodly, known as Sensei Bueno, and Harry Charles. The JT collaboration places Yseult alongside one of American rap’s most electric voices, while the rest of the record swings between provocation and vulnerability, club pressure and confessional calm.

Yseult, born Yseult Onguenet, has built her career by refusing every box offered to her, moving from French pop beginnings into a sound and image that answer to no format. Releasing FREAK through her own imprint is the logical next step in that story: ownership as artistry. She announced the album to her fans as a celebration and urged them to buy it, speaking with the directness that has made her one of the most compelling figures in French music. With FREAK out in the world, Yseult owns the masters, the message and the moment. The campaign carried her signature theatrical humor, pairing the rollout with an Aretha Franklin reference for her followers, and everything about the release feels deliberate. FREAK is streaming now.
