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.
