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.

Limahl ‘A Horse With No Name’

Limahl’s take on “A Horse With No Name” is a masterclass in musical time travel — blending the sun-bleached soul of the original with lush, ‘90s-inspired electronic textures that feel refreshingly modern. It’s his first-ever cover, but you wouldn’t know it; the production is confident and detailed, with analogue synths and glitchy rhythms creating a dreamlike landscape. Limahl’s vocal delivery is cool and atmospheric, giving the song a brand-new personality while still tipping its hat to the original. It’s a surprising and stylish return that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

EMEREE “Spring Cleaning”

If you’ve ever needed a reason to delete a number or block an energy vampire, EMEREE just handed you the playlist. “Spring Cleaning” is equal parts fierce and freeing, with buttery smooth vocals and lyrics that say what most of us are too afraid to admit. It’s giving self-care. It’s giving main character energy. It’s giving… EMEREE might be your new favorite.

Sone ‘Rollercoaster’

Rising international star Sone has just dropped her highly anticipated new single “Rollercoaster”, a genre-defying track that blends pop, opera, and theatrical storytelling. Produced in Paris by French sound engineer Théo Laurent-Vitale, the track showcases Sone’s powerful vocal range and emotional depth. Drawing inspiration from icons like Lady Gaga and Lana Del Rey, the song dives into the unpredictable nature of human emotion, transforming vulnerability into strength. With its sweeping cinematic production and fiercely personal lyrics, “Rollercoaster” signals a bold new era for the Popera artist.

Sunrise in Jupiter ‘Take Me Home’

“Take Me Home” is Sunrise in Jupiter at their most emotionally exposed — and their most cinematic. What starts as a glowing alt-rock slow-burn quickly launches into a supernova of swirling guitars, pounding drums, and a chorus that hits like a meteor to the chest. Inspired by a voicemail from the frontman’s daughter, this isn’t just a song about space — it’s about the gravity of love, and the way it pulls us back no matter how far we drift. Imagine Muse on a heartbroken spacewalk and you’re halfway there.

Katie Dauson ‘Rock Along With You’

Katie Dauson just raised the bar again. “Rock Along With You” explodes out of the gate with gritty guitars and a pulse that doesn’t let up. There’s nothing polished or overly packaged here — this is real-deal rock inspired by a wild night at the Rivoli and the kind of chance encounter that could only happen in a crowd of thousands. Her storytelling chops hit hard, but it’s the sheer feel of the track that grabs you — the drive, the urgency, the 6:30 a.m. inspiration that you can practically hear in every beat. Dauson’s music has always danced between genres, but this one leans into the chaos and clarity of rock with fearless conviction. “Rock Along With You” isn’t just a song title — it’s an invitation, and you’d be crazy not to accept it.
