“What if music could stimulate the very chemicals that shape our joy, memories, and deepest emotions? That’s exactly what singer, songwriter, and sonic alchemist RIMIDI explores in her soul-expanding project, The Dopamine Collection Vol. 1.“

The wait is finally over. On Tuesday, July 29 at 9PM EST, the full immersive playlist experience of The Dopamine Collection Vol. 1 premieres exclusively on RIMIDI’s official YouTube channel: 

The Sound of a Mood, a Moment, a Mindset
Originally released independently under NOOM Recordings, The Dopamine Collection Vol. 1 is a deeply personal body of work that blends experimental soul, psychedelic textures, and poetic vulnerability. Each track pulses with intention—designed to mirror the neurological high of dopamine itself.

Listeners are invited to not only hear the music, but to feel the shift — mentally, emotionally, even spiritually. From the lush melancholy of “Pretend”, to the astral groove of “Saturn’s Day”, and the fearless freedom of “Walk Away (feat. Forrest Darden)”, this collection isn’t just an album—
It’s a sonic therapy session disguised as a soul record.

Dominic Fike Returns With Third Album How To Quit Smoking

Dominic Fike has released his third studio album, How To Quit Smoking, out now through Columbia Records. The album arrived on October 30, 2026, and runs to 15 songs, with Apple Music filing it under Alternative. It is his first full length since Sunburn in 2023 and follows his 2020 debut, What Could Possibly Go Wrong.

The rollout leaned on a run of singles that showed the record’s range. Wallflower served as the lead single, Small Town followed, and Pangea landed late in the campaign, close to the album’s arrival. Fike announced the finished product to his followers with a simple message on release week: album out now. The title, and the hashtag he paired with it, frame the record as a document of habits confronted head on, and the songs move between guitar led confessionals and the melodic pop instincts that made him one of the most watched young artists in alternative music.

Fike was born in Naples, Florida, and broke through at the end of the last decade with a sound that refused to sit in one lane, part indie rock, part hip hop, part bedroom pop. What Could Possibly Go Wrong introduced that blend to a wide audience, and Sunburn deepened it with a more personal, hometown rooted set of songs. How To Quit Smoking now becomes the third chapter, a 15 track statement from an artist who releases albums only when he has something to say. With the record out in the world, attention turns to how Fike will take these songs to the stage, and to which of the new tracks follow Wallflower and Pangea into his live set.
