Molly Stone’s “Just a Girl” is basically a glitter-coated mic drop. With cheeky lyrics that flip the script on gender roles and a melody so sticky you’ll be humming it in the shower, she proves that empowerment can be both smart and fun. Think Taylor Swift meets Lily Allen with a side of glitter bombs — a pop anthem that doesn’t just demand attention, it steals it.

Make Out Monday ‘Back to the Feeling’

Make Out Monday’s Back to the Feeling is like your favorite mixtape from the 80s got a caffeine boost and a modern pop-punk twist.

Lyrically, it delves into nightlife and personal highs and lows, showcasing an artist capable of translating lived experience into music that resonates.

This is R&B that feels fully alive, smart, and captivating.

VIAA ‘Arson’

“Arson” is like throwing a glitter bomb into a mosh pit — chaotic, cathartic, and ridiculously fun. VIAA’s vocals cut through the swirl of alt-pop, emo, and electronic textures like a neon flare, making you want to jump, scream, and maybe even cry a little at the same time. It’s messy, it’s bold, and it’s exactly the kind of anthem we didn’t know we needed.
