Tracy Eckstrand ‘Come Around’

Laura Musgrave ‘Almost’

Her discography showcases her honest demeanor, and her unparalleled creativity allows her to effortlessly transition between pop and rock genres.
The Violet Mine ‘White Night’
The Violet Mine, who has already established herself as one of the more intriguing acts to emerge in recent years, makes a comeback with “White Night,” a song from their forthcoming album. The song’s upbeat beat and mysterious lyrics perfectly capture their unique writing style. It demonstrates their ongoing development as artists.
Lady Bird Lad ‘More Than Enough’
The new song “More Than Enough,” which is both melancholic and cheerful, displays his intense love of music and his unmatched ability to blend captivating instrumentation with stirring lyrics. Together with electric and acoustic drums, the alternative folk-pop album has vocals, synths, piano, bass guitar, bass synths, strings, and nylon acoustic guitar. Because of Lady Bird Lad’s incredible earworm production and genuine vocals, listening to it is uplifting.
One Last Job ‘Beneath the Ocean’
Folk-rock ensemble “Beneath the Ocean,” the most recent song from One Last Job, is a genre-blender of bedroom pop, lo-fi, and indie-folk. The entire song was recorded using a 2012 Macbook running Ableton 11 in frontman Travis Klein’s living room. It was then refined while touring the US and staying in several hotels and Airbnbs. With the interface recording for the guitar, bass, and vocals and the MIDI for the drums and keys, there’s a reflective, slow-burning vibe. Michael Briggs mixed and mastered it in Denton, Texas.

Campana ‘ROPE’
Need something that hits the soul and the speakers? Campana’s “ROPE” is exactly that. Using love as a lifeline, the track wraps emotional vulnerability in lush production and a hook that begs for a slow head nod. It’s therapy disguised as a jam, with Dave Shanaé serving heavenly vocals and Dave B. dropping the kind of verse that deserves a rewind. This isn’t just a song—it’s your new late-night soundtrack.
Stephan Folkes ‘Somebody Out There’
With “Somebody Out There,” Stephan Folkes channels a thrilling blend of alternative rock, R&B, and soul into a spine-tingling tale of youthful curiosity gone awry. The track feels like a short film in audio form—rich in atmosphere, with vocals that carry both tension and tenderness. It’s a standout release from an artist who’s turning his unique life journey into a powerful, genre-defying musical identity.
Jake Exavier – ‘Just What U Like’
Jake Exavier’s ‘Just What U Like’ is a slow-burning R&B track that succeeds through its emotional clarity and polished production. Self-penned and subtly nostalgic, the song sees Exavier tapping into his influences — Chris Brown, PartyNextDoor, even shades of Donell Jones — while maintaining a personal, grounded tone. His vocals are restrained yet expressive, delivering a message of romantic certainty with both warmth and swagger. What elevates the single is its sonic craftsmanship: producers Rochad Holiday and Curtis “Sauce” Wilson lend a classic ’90s texture that feels fresh when filtered through Exavier’s contemporary lens. It’s not flashy, but that’s exactly the point — ‘Just What U Like’ makes its mark with nuance, sincerity, and an artist in full control of his sound.
Mimi’s Revenge ‘Dire’
‘Dire’ is like diving into a neon-lit dream where everything feels dangerously close to falling apart — and you love it. Mimi’s Revenge takes you on a ride with their sultry vocals, sharp beats, and a vibe that’s equal parts mysterious and magnetic. It’s the perfect anthem for those who thrive in the shadows, daring to feel it all with a slick, addictive soundtrack to match.
The Straights ‘Remedy’
If you ever wondered what happens when you combine garage rock grit with indie swagger, “Remedy” by The Straights has the answer. From the first crunch of the guitar to the final bang of the drums, this track is pure, unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll magic. The song’s lyrics are unapologetically raw, capturing the messy pursuit of healing through sound and sweat. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it’s everything you need when life gets chaotic — a perfect, rebellious anthem for anyone who just needs to let loose and rock out.
