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.

Soapman ‘Y. L. T. Y.’

Soapman’s “Y. L. T. Y.” doesn’t walk into the room—it kicks the door down with jittery guitars, caffeine-fueled vocals, and a tempo that refuses to sit still. It’s a wild, weird alt-pop ride that sounds like your inner monologue set to a mosh pit soundtrack, and somehow it’s both chaotic and incredibly catchy. If you’ve ever wanted to dance through an existential crisis, this one’s for you.

Shawn Matthew ‘Work To The Beat’

“Work to the Beat” feels like someone dropped a grenade in a rave—and we mean that as a compliment. Shawn Matthew’s new single is a reckless blend of gritty vocals, teeth-grinding bass, and trap drops that go full beast mode. It’s like a sonic rollercoaster with no brakes, and we’re grinning the whole way down.

Stephen Sol ‘Forever Changed’

Warning: “Forever Changed” may cause spontaneous staring out the window during a rainstorm, even if it’s sunny. Stephen Sol delivers a heartfelt indie folk gem that sounds like Ben Howard wandered into a candlelit therapy session. Equal parts soothing and soul-crushing, the track is a warm hug for anyone still emotionally invested in “what could’ve been.”

Peso The Misfit ‘New Age Love’

“New Age Love” by Peso The Misfit is like that cool friend who always smells good, gives great advice, and somehow turns every situation into a movie scene. Smooth R&B grooves meet hip-hop confidence in this flirty, laid-back track that’s built for warm nights, good company, and a little romantic chaos. Peso delivers a vibe that’s cheeky and charismatic, with just enough mystery to keep you hitting replay—and yes, there’s a line in here that’ll make you laugh out loud.

Zweng ‘Marianne’

Zweng’s Marianne is an achingly beautiful tribute to the maternal strength that often goes unnoticed. Written in honor of his mother, the track is a “persona” song that imagines what the partner she deserved—but never had—might have said. With tenderness and quiet grace, Zweng crafts a redemptive narrative, one that delves into the complex layers of generational pain, forgiveness, and love. The stripped-back arrangement lets his raw, emotive voice carry the weight of the song’s poignant message, while the subtle instrumentation adds a sense of timelessness to the track. Marianne is a soul-stirring meditation on healing and empathy, showcasing Zweng’s ability to transform personal experience into universal truth. It’s a song that quietly resonates, holding a mirror up to the often unspoken sacrifices of maternal love. Beautifully vulnerable and deeply reflective, Marianne is a standout moment in Zweng’s ongoing journey of self-discovery and artistic rebirth.
