CURIOUS FOR MUSIC: FRESH HITS (10.10.25)

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!

ALEXIS ‘HATE IT HERE’

If Olivia Rodrigo threw a party with Conan Gray and Griff, and then invited ALEXIS to DJ, “HATE IT HERE” would be the song blasting as everyone screamed the lyrics with tears in their eyes and glitter on their cheeks. Sad, sparkly, and totally addictive.

Annika Zee ‘Hell No’

“Hell No” bursts open with unapologetic defiance, setting the tone for Emerald Spy with its raw intensity. Annika Zee channels anger and resistance into a thrilling sonic assault, blending sharp beats with urgent vocals. The track is a fearless critique of dystopian systems, refusing to sugarcoat or compromise. It’s both a battle cry and a statement of uncompromising artistic vision.

Ignacio Peña’s ‘To The Stars’

With To The Stars, Ignacio Peña proves that music can be both joyous and thought-provoking. Anchored by a hypnotic beat designed for movement, the track glistens with synth textures and bursts of brass while offering a heartfelt nod to Carl Sagan’s reflections on our fragile yet beautiful planet.

ANASTÁZIE ‘Kiss & Let Go’

ANASTÁZIE’s “Kiss & Let Go” is the kind of track that sneaks onto your playlist and refuses to leave—it’s smooth R&B silk with an Afrobeats bounce, sprinkled with jazzy charm that feels tailor-made for late-night drives or sunlit dance floors. Her vocals glide with effortless confidence, and the hook? Dangerously addictive. By the second listen, you’re already humming it like it’s been part of your life forever.

Sonnet ‘Wishing For Rain’

If heartbreak had a weather forecast, it would sound exactly like “Wishing for Rain.” Son Seung-yeon trades her usual vocal fireworks for something softer but just as gripping—an emotional drizzle that slowly builds into a thunderous chorus. Written and produced entirely by her, the track is raw, intimate, and beautifully unpolished in the best way possible.
