Peso The Misfit Launches His Summer Era with “New Age Love,” a Laid-Back Anthem That Doesn’t Try Too Hard
With his new single “New Age Love,” rising genre-hopper Peso The Misfit proves that being chill doesn’t mean lacking depth. The track is a silky, half-grin kind of groove that eases between R&B’s sensuality and hip-hop’s self-awareness, capturing that “midnight drive with the windows down” feeling. It’s playful, flirty, and best of all—completely unbothered.
Peso, whose reputation for immersive, film-inspired live shows has earned him cult status on the underground circuit, shifts the tone here. Gone are the moodier textures of past projects—in their place, something more relaxed, a sonic wink rather than a stare. And yet, even at his most laid-back, Peso never loses control. Every element here feels hand-picked for vibe.
There’s charm in how unforced it all feels. The production is smooth without being slick, and Peso’s vocals land somewhere between a private confession and a voice memo to your favorite situationship. He promises there’s a moment in the song that’ll make you laugh—and when it comes, it’s a clever reminder that not all R&B has to be about heartbreak and high drama.
“New Age Love” is also just the first drop in a four-part narrative arc that Peso plans to unfold across the summer. That cinematic ambition is a big swing for an indie artist, but it suits him. His music doesn’t just live in playlists—it lives in scenes. Think PARTYNEXTDOOR meets Donald Glover with a dash of self-aware humor.
Peso The Misfit is building something much bigger than a single. But if “New Age Love” is your entry point, you’re in for a ride that’s as cool as it is captivating.

Megan Burke Turns Personal Experience into Pop Catharsis on ‘Not All Men, Apparently’
Megan Burke’s debut EP Not All Men, Apparently arrives with a title designed to provoke conversation, but beneath its pointed framing lies a deeply personal collection of songs rooted in lived experience. The project sees the Irish artist tackling themes of heartbreak, deception and emotional recovery with an unfiltered honesty that has become increasingly rare within contemporary pop.
Produced by Hungarian hitmaker Áron Somody, the EP documents Burke’s journey through a series of difficult relationships, transforming private frustrations into universally relatable songwriting. Rather than presenting neat resolutions, the songs lean into complexity, examining the lingering impact of toxic dynamics while charting a gradual path towards self-awareness. It is this willingness to confront uncomfortable truths that gives the record its emotional weight.
Among the collection’s standout moments is Make Me, the focus track that introduces a welcome sense of levity. Written as a break from the darker material surrounding it, the song captures a more playful side of Burke’s personality, embracing independence and spontaneity without abandoning the candid perspective that defines the wider project. Its inclusion adds balance to a release that might otherwise feel relentlessly introspective.
Burke’s rise has been built largely on her ability to connect directly with audiences, amassing a substantial online following while earning notable milestones including a No.1 iTunes chart position and performances at some of Ireland’s biggest venues. With Not All Men, Apparently, she delivers her most cohesive artistic statement yet, confirming her status as a compelling new voice in Irish pop and a songwriter unafraid to tell difficult stories.
