CURIOUS FOR MUSIC: FRESH HITS (05.12.25)

Welcome to our bi-weekly round-up, where we spotlight the freshest releases, emerging voices, and genre-pushing music from across the globe. Whether it's a chart-shaker or an underground gem, if it moves us, it's here. Bringing you music that you should be curious about!

Nina Ann Nelson ‘Just a Little’

Nina Ann Nelson’s “Just a Little” is basically a masterclass in looking good, feeling confident, and owning your worth—all wrapped up in sultry pop-R&B vibes you’ll want on repeat. With lush production from Symphony and vocals that glide like silk, the song has a way of sneaking under your skin and making you strut a little taller. Equal parts smooth and empowering, it’s the kind of track that reminds you: you deserve it all, and maybe just a little more.

My Side of Paradise ‘All My Exes ft. Jaret Reddick

Pop-punk fans, rejoice: “All My Exes” is the perfect mix of humor, nostalgia, and energy. My Side of Paradise turn a breakup song on its head, admitting we’re sometimes the problem, and somehow make it feel empowering. Add Jaret Reddick’s legendary vocals, and you’ve got a track that’s pure fun from start to finish.

Blue Capricorn ‘MISERICORDIA’

Listening to “MISERICORDIA” is like being invited to a very stylish, deeply introspective séance—and somehow leaving feeling better about life. Blue Capricorn whispers truth while Black Taffy builds a soundscape that could easily soundtrack a futuristic confessional booth. It’s moody, hypnotic, and weirdly comforting, like realizing you can cry and groove at the same time.

MAB ‘The Star Lounge’

If Willy Wonka ran a nightclub, “The Star Lounge” would be the soundtrack. Jon Berry’s latest single is a kaleidoscopic ride of swirling synths, hypnotic rhythms, and playful vocals that feel both otherworldly and irresistibly catchy. It’s short, sharp, and seriously addictive—a little pop-psychedelic magic in musical form.

Akirah ‘Mamacita’

If you thought riddim couldn’t flirt with Latin vibes, AKIRAH just proved you wrong. “Mamacita” is a genre-bending concoction where Dubstep, Drum & Bass, and Grime collide with a Hispanic flair, creating something equal parts chaotic and hypnotic. The track’s intro tiptoes like a Los Santos gang on the prowl, then smashes into a relentless barrage of heavy synths and laser-like basslines. It’s cheeky, fun, and undeniably AKIRAH — a producer who never plays it safe, turning even a GTA gaming session into a global bass anthem.
