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.
The Neon Sea ‘As I Wonder’
The Neon Sea didn’t just arrive; they stormed in with ‘As I Wonder’, a track that drips with atmospheric charm and sheer ambition. The song is a masterclass in blending influences—think Stone Roses grandeur meets Pink Floyd’s introspection—but it never loses its originality. Doyle’s lyrics float like smoke in a dream, grounding the cosmic production with raw humanity. Add in the personal touch of abstract artwork by Doyle’s son, and this single is more than music—it’s a bold, cohesive work of art.
Fitasha ‘FAMOUS’
Fitasha’s RUSH is an electrifying manifesto of self-determination, with ‘FAMOUS’ standing as its defiant opening roar. Her “villain song” isn’t just about biting back—it’s about commanding the room and rewriting her narrative. From its jazz-hip-hop fusions to its Latin inflections, RUSH feels like a pulsating heartbeat of resistance and ambition, a vibrant push against the limits others set for her. If you’re into artists who walk the line between bold and vulnerable, Fitasha’s layered lyricism and sonic adventurousness are here to grab you by the collar and demand your attention.
Lauri Järvilehto’s “Typhoon”
Lauri Järvilehto’s “Typhoon” hits hard with its mix of emotional depth and sweeping soundscapes. It’s the kind of song that grabs you right from the start, pulling you into the storm and propelling you through it with its uplifting energy and heartfelt lyrics. The track feels personal yet universal, perfectly capturing the chaos and beauty of navigating life’s challenges. Whether you’re listening for the mood or the message, “Typhoon” delivers a captivating experience that’s impossible to forget.
Josh Rifkin ‘Save it For The Morning’
Lifted from Josh Rifkin’s latest album, Lancaster Road, ‘Save it For The Morning’ is a testament to the art of crafting infectious, soulful pop. Its opening lines grip you with a confident swagger—vocals warm with a timeless flair, lyrics painted in vibrant, relatable storytelling. There’s a natural magnetism in the upbeat groove, a blend of old-school soul and contemporary charm. The track’s hook is an earworm in its own right, but what sets it apart are the intricate verses, peppered with crisp musicianship and surprise melodic turns. It’s a surefire standout to kickstart the album.
Jean-Loup Pinson ‘Tell All The Truth/Surrender’
Jean-Loup Pinson’s ‘Tell All The Truth/Surrender’ is a masterstroke of modern composition, boldly bridging centuries of artistry. In this standout track from A Moment of Deathlessness, Pinson pairs the haunting choral beauty of The Carice Singers with the hard-hitting spoken word of London poets Armanious and Tanaka Fuego. Dickinson’s timeless themes of truth and surrender become visceral and urgent in Pinson’s hands, carried by a production that seamlessly layers ethereal vocals with futuristic beats. The result is a track that feels revolutionary yet deeply human, cementing Pinson’s place at the forefront of contemporary musical storytelling.

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.
