GRAE ‘Hollywood’
On “Hollywood,” GRAE delivers a bittersweet farewell to fame and the facade of perfection, wrapping up 7 Minutes ’Til Heaven with an emotional punch. The track glitters with a soft, cinematic sheen—like the final scene of a film where the lights dim, and the curtain falls. GRAE’s ethereal vocals drift through the track, capturing the fragile balance between desire and disillusionment, as she reflects on the hollow allure of stardom. It’s a haunting, yet beautiful closer that showcases GRAE’s knack for turning melancholy into something utterly magnetic—like a star’s final bow, leaving you mesmerized and wanting more.
Layla Kaylif ‘God’s Keeper’
“God’s Keeper” is the kind of song that wraps around you like velvet and lingers long after it ends. Layla Kaylif delivers vocals that feel both celestial and deeply human, backed by a dreamy, slow-building production that feels tailor-made for your next main-character moment. It’s introspective, spiritual, and surprisingly catchy — like a pop confessional for your soul.
Chechii ‘Mi Paddi’
Chechii delivers the musical equivalent of a cultural potluck with “Mi Paddi”, and every flavor hits. Blending her rich Afrosoul vocals with Afrobeat percussion, pop hooks, and R&B smoothness, she cooks up a celebratory tune that’s impossible not to move to. With Kracktwist and Samza bringing extra heat, the track feels like a cross-continental jam session you wish you were invited to. Spoiler: you are—just press play.
Seb Adams ‘Guitar Hero III’
‘Guitar Hero III’ is Seb Adams at his most nostalgic and relatable, turning childhood memories and pixelated dreams into a bittersweet pop-punk anthem that hits right in the feels. With jangly guitars, a singalong chorus, and just the right amount of emotional chaos, it’s a track that feels like digging through your old bedroom and finding your favorite band tee still fits. Equal parts emo diary entry and rock-out catharsis, it’s a standout moment on Bittersweet Nostalgia that proves growing up doesn’t mean letting go of who you were.
Peter Doran ‘Never Say Goodbye’
“Never Say Goodbye” stands as a masterclass in lyrical depth and sonic atmosphere, revealing Peter Doran at his most contemplative and assured. The song flows like an ocean tide, pulling listeners into its maritime mythology with rich, folky textures and a stirring vocal performance. Anchored by the poignant closing line, “God Bless The Now And Evermore,” Doran captures both the ache of impermanence and the enduring power of presence.

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.
