'Top 5' Weekly Music Round-Up
WESPEAKMEDIA: TOP 5 WEEKLY MUSIC ROUND-UP (06.06.25)
Kilder ‘Dusk Till Dawn’
If your weekday self needs a musical slap into weekend mode, Kilder’s “Dusk Till Dawn” delivers — a shimmering slice of club escapism that’s equal parts cathartic and cool. It kicks off like a slow burner but builds into a euphoric swirl of rave nostalgia, garage swagger, and techno polish. The video follows an office drone turned nightlife superhero, and honestly? Same. File this under: tracks that make you want to dance on a Tuesday and quit your job by Friday.
Charlie McDonald ‘Time’
If you’ve ever stumbled across an old photo and suddenly felt like time punched you in the gut — congratulations, you’re exactly the kind of human Charlie McDonald wrote “Time” for. Equal parts cinematic slow-burn and soul-baring diary entry, this song wraps you in lush piano swells and gentle R&B grooves while gently breaking your heart (in the best way). It’s the kind of track you’ll want to play on a rainy night, during a solo walk, or anytime you need to feel all your feelings at once. Think James Blake meets Labrinth, with a side of tearful nostalgia and just enough hope to keep you pressing replay.
Dailla ‘Garden’
Dailla’s “Garden” is the kind of song you play when you’re lying in a field of wildflowers, daydreaming about your crush texting back. With fluttering strings, soft piano, and lyrics that hit like a love letter soaked in poetry, it’s a gorgeous slow burn that feels like springtime wrapped in a song. Warning: may cause sudden emotional introspection and spontaneous sighing.
The fin. ‘Nebula’
“Nebula” is less of a song and more of a slow-motion lift-off into an emotional galaxy. The fin. mix retro soul with dreamy indie vibes, toss in some flute and sax magic, and voila—you’ve got the soundtrack to your next main-character moment. It’s breezy, it’s beautiful, and it might just make you believe in new beginnings (or at least update your playlist).
Jack Child ‘On The Road’
Jack Child’s latest single “On The Road” is the sonic version of driving with the windows down and a heavy heart. It’s deeply personal, hauntingly catchy, and laced with just enough bedroom-made weirdness to make it feel like your own private soundtrack. Sad banger? Emotional indie bop? Whatever it is—it works, and you’ll want it on repeat.

Maria Rosa La Kakiee ‘Trigger My Aria’
‘Trigger My Aria’ fuses hip-hop swagger and melodic sensitivity, proving Maria Rosa La Kakiee is a rising force in independent music.
Zuko Sian ‘Spill A Little Tea’
“Spill A Little Tea” is Zuko Sian at her unapologetic, cinematic best — think soul, jazz, and hip-hop all gossiping in one living room. She delivers truths like confetti: sharp, colorful, and impossible to ignore, while the production keeps your foot tapping even as your heart flutters. By the time the hook hits, you’ll be humming along, spilling your own secrets, and maybe even drafting a strongly worded group chat message — all while feeling like a total icon.
The Kid J The Don ‘Crash Out’
That Kid J The Don turns pain into power on “Crash Out,” delivering a record that’s equal parts confession, confrontation, and championship entrance music. You can hear the fingerprints of Atlanta, Miami, and New York all over the track, woven together with the discipline of a martial artist and the swagger of a seasoned MC. His voice sounds like grit in motion — relentless, emotional, and sharpened by experience. This is the kind of song that makes you straighten your back and walk like you’ve survived something.
Neil Friedlander ‘Totem’
“Totem” introduces Neil Friedlander’s The Change with a sense of wonder that mirrors the unusual circumstances of its creation: a tiny Brooklyn studio, pandemic silence, and a simmering pot anchoring the days. What emerged is a song that embraces uncertainty with charm and curiosity, anchored by witty lyrical imagery and a breezy, nostalgic pop-rock sheen shaped alongside producer Chris Camilleri. The track’s world expands even further in its beautifully realized music video, shot along New Jersey cliffs, where Friedlander ventures into a forest realm inhabited by graceful Muses brought to life by dancers Hayley Rose Brasher and Brandy Brown. Directed and edited by Friedlander himself, the video underscores “Totem” as both a personal awakening and a visual poem about finding direction in the unknown.
Dantiti ‘Big Big Tinz’
Think of “Big Big Tinz” as a masterclass in vibe-setting. The track’s pulsating rhythms, shimmering synths, and Dantiti’s effortlessly smooth delivery make it a perfect example of how Afrobeats can feel both global and deeply personal. It’s fun, it’s catchy, and it’s impossible not to hit repeat.
