Find the latest new music in our ‘Top 5’ weekly music round-up here at We Speak Media. In this weekly feature, we will be bringing you the hottest new acts and music out there.

Cece ‘One of One’

With “One of One,” Cece delivers the kind of track that feels like a mood boost in song form. Full of personality, ambition, and undeniable creative flair, the single showcases why Big Cece is an artist worth watching. Her journey from poetry and freestyle sessions to producing, songwriting, and building her own artistic world gives the record an extra layer of authenticity. It is confident without trying too hard, stylish without losing substance, and a perfect introduction to an artist who knows exactly who she is.

Harry Hudson Taylor ‘What Do You Take Me For?’

With What Do You Take Me For, Harry Hudson Taylor delivers a beautifully understated single that proves the power of honest songwriting. Blending warm indie folk textures with thoughtful lyricism, the track unfolds with quiet confidence, allowing its emotional weight to resonate long after the final note. Self produced with remarkable sensitivity and elevated by Seraphina Taylor’s graceful harmonies, the song captures an artist fully embracing his creative independence. It is a compelling glimpse into Hiding From Nature and further establishes Harry as one of Ireland’s most accomplished contemporary singer songwriters.

Arabella ‘Designer’

Arabella’s “Designer” is the kind of pop song that makes you want to dance first and analyze your feelings later. Beneath its bright, polished production is a surprisingly thoughtful look at the weird little stories we tell ourselves after heartbreak, especially the ones where we convince ourselves we deserve partial credit for someone’s glow-up. With clever songwriting, a magnetic hook, and plenty of personality, Arabella transforms a complicated emotional moment into a fun, fearless anthem. The track feels like the final page of her People Pleaser chapter, but instead of looking back, she is already stepping toward something bigger, bolder, and far more unpredictable.

Revived Echoes ‘You Never Felt the Same’

Revived Echoes has crafted a masterclass in emotional electronic music with “You Never Felt the Same,” a single that cuts straight to the bone of one-sided devotion. The London producer does not simply write a breakup song; he constructs a sonic cathedral for the ghosts of what could have been. The production is atmospheric and sweeping, providing a lush bed for lyrics that dissect the unique pain of loving someone who was never truly yours. It is a brave and beautiful excavation of the fantasy we build around another person, making the eventual collapse all the more devastating to witness through his art.

Sushee ‘DECEIVE ME’

If you’re looking for a soundtrack to your next midnight adventure, Sushee’s DECEIVE ME has arrived. The Dublin singer, songwriter, and producer delivers a genre-blurring rush of soulful vocals, deep grooves, and electronic textures that make it impossible to sit still. With its dreamy atmosphere, infectious rhythms, and emotional edge, the track feels like a conversation between the club and the bedroom, combining introspection with pure dancefloor energy. Sushee proves once again that she knows exactly how to create a vibe, turning personal emotions into a sound world you’ll want to get lost in.
