CURIOUS FOR MUSIC: FRESH HITS (16.05.25)

Bringing you music that you should be curious about!

Peso The Misfit ‘New Age Love’

Peso The Misfit’s “New Age Love” is a genre-blurring slow-burn that glides across a plush R&B soundscape with the kind of casual cool that feels effortless—but is anything but. It’s equal parts mood-setter and narrative seed, serving as the prologue to a larger sonic universe Peso’s rolling out this summer. With its clever lyricism, subtle humor, and cinematic undertones, this track proves Peso isn’t just making music—he’s crafting scenes you can hear.

The Straight ‘Remedy’

The Straights’ latest single, "Remedy," is a high-octane burst of energy that feels like a shot of adrenaline straight to the veins. With its gritty guitar riffs, pounding drums, and George Years’ fire-breathing vocals, this track is a rollercoaster ride through chaos and catharsis. The band nails that perfect blend of Garage Rock’s raw edge and Indie Rock’s rebellious spirit, while throwing in just enough Alternative grit to keep it feeling fresh. If you’re looking for a song that lets you scream out your frustrations, "Remedy" is your new best friend.

Zweng ‘Uptown Girl’

Zweng’s take on Uptown Girl is a refreshing, cheeky twist on a classic. With his reimagined version, he flips Billy Joel’s original pop anthem into a witty critique of today’s beauty standards and the social pressures that come with them. It’s as if Zweng stepped into the 21st century, gave the song a reality check, and made it his own—breezy, yet thought-provoking. With a post-social media lens, the track playfully dismantles the illusion of perfection, while also offering a shout-out to those who feel overlooked in our curated world. Think of it as a soundtrack for anyone who's ever felt like they didn't quite fit the mold—Zweng’s version brings the cool, quirky energy of today’s indie scene while keeping the heart of the original intact. It’s fun, it's funky, and it might just make you rethink your social feed.

Campana ‘ROPE’

Campana might’ve just dropped the smoothest survival song of the year with “ROPE”. It’s soulful, sultry, and soaked in gratitude, as he and his all-star collaborators explore what it means to be emotionally held when your mind’s doing cartwheels. With jazz-soaked keys, swoon-worthy harmonies, and a vibe somewhere between a candle-lit confession and a rooftop cypher, this track proves Campana isn’t just ready for more—he’s bringing more.

Mimi’s Revenge ‘Dire’

There’s something beautifully chaotic about ‘Dire’ — it’s dark, it’s glittery, and it’s weird in all the best ways. Mimi’s Revenge blend moody alt-pop with a DIY flair that feels more like a manifesto than a song. With every twist and turn in this track, they remind you that it’s okay to be a little out of control — and honestly, you won’t want to get off the ride.
