WESPEAKMEDIA: TOP 5 WEEKLY MUSIC ROUND-UP (09.05.25)
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.

WESPEAKMEDIA: TOP 5 WEEKLY MUSIC ROUND-UP (10.04.26)
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.
Walter Miller ‘Good Morning LA’
“Good Morning LA” is like being handed a hug in song form — one moment it’s whispering vulnerability, the next it’s belting arena-sized highs that make you want to throw your hands in the air. Walter Miller somehow makes heartbreak feel empowering, and catchy enough that you’ll probably replay it in the car five times in a row.
A Is For Atom ‘Out Of The Blue’
There’s something quietly addictive about “Out of the Blue.” It glides in with dreamy guitars and before you know it, you’re fully invested in this slow-burn, friends-to-lovers storyline. It’s the kind of track that makes you stare out a window for dramatic effect — even if you’re just on a bus. Effortlessly cool, a little sentimental, and seriously replayable.
DBsock ‘worse’
DBsock’s latest, “worse,” proves that less really can be more—especially when it comes to raw, self-aware alt-R&B. Sparse production? Check. Vocals dripping with emotion? Check. Lyrics that make you want to scream, cry, and hug your cat all at once? Triple check. By the end, you’re left in that deliciously uncomfortable place of loving someone who’s bad for you, and loving DBsock for capturing it so perfectly.
Heather Ferguson ‘Broken Horned Kudu’
“Broken Horned Kudu” is basically jazz-meets-world-music magic. With its blend of African percussion, lush vocals, and thoughtful storytelling, it’s the kind of track that makes you pause, smile, and maybe even hit repeat before the song’s over.
Marcello Cordova ‘You Got This’
Need a song that makes you feel like you can conquer literally anything? Enter “You Got This”. Marcello Cordova teams up with Evie Lizarraga for a track loaded with catchy hooks, halftime drums, and just enough synth sparkle to keep it interesting. By the end, you’re singing along, smiling, and maybe even tackling that project you’ve been putting off—all thanks to a three-minute dose of pure audio encouragement.
