Dailla ‘Some Love’

If you’ve ever found yourself belting out a song in the shower because it just gets you, then you need to meet Dailla—the rising alt-pop artist behind the electrifying single “Some Love.” Think of it as the soundtrack to those moments when you want to shout your feelings from the rooftops (or maybe just your bedroom). With an edge that’s equal parts grit and soul, Dailla’s music feels like a warm hug and a kick in the pants all at once.

Harry Hudson Taylor ‘Dear You, It’s Me’

Like a hand reaching through the silence, “Dear You, It’s Me” is a whispered conversation with the self — soft-spoken, honest, and tender — wrapped in the mist of ethereal textures and gentle beats. Harry Hudson Taylor crafts a space where vulnerability is a quiet revolution, and every syllable is an invitation to find grace in stillness and hope in the unspoken.

Craigology ‘Hot Smoothie’

“Hot Smoothie” is exactly what it sounds like—deliciously bold, a little spicy, and undeniably cool. Taken from Craigology’s lush new EP Just Imagine, this track doesn’t just walk in—it struts, tossing jazz licks and funky grooves like confetti. With its playful rhythms and cheeky flair, “Hot Smoothie” feels like the sonic equivalent of dancing in your kitchen with sunglasses on and zero worries in sight. It’s slick, it’s sassy, and it leaves you hitting repeat with a grin.

Jeeves ‘Where Did All The Good Men Go?’

Jeeves delivers an aching masterpiece with "Where Did All The Good Men Go?", a track that proves beauty can arrive in hushed tones. What begins as a soft, almost ambient ripple of melody soon floods the senses with depth, vulnerability, and lyrical weight. It’s a slow-burn kind of brilliance—the type of song that sneaks into your subconscious and nests there, humming its bittersweet question long after it ends. This is introspective pop at its finest: subtle, sincere, and unforgettable.

Bon Boy ‘Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man’

Bon Boy is back with a vengeance — and he’s brought Bob Seger, a truckload of fuzz pedals, and a liver full of regrets. “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man” is a rowdy, riff-heavy reboot that trades polish for punk soul, with Stenholt growling through a sonic dust cloud like he’s late to a brawl behind the bowling alley. It’s all snarling guitars, desert swagger, and the kind of don’t-give-a-damn energy that only thrives on warm beer and louder amps. If rebellion had a house band, this would be it.

Bobby Freemont ‘Somewhere by a Lake’

This song is like sipping coffee on a foggy morning while staring at the water, wondering if maybe you were meant for something quieter. Bobby Freemont’s latest is equal parts nostalgia and daydream, and it just might convince you to finally take that road trip you’ve been postponing since 2018.

Alexis ‘Blue Jeans’

File this under: songs that make you want to fall in love with someone you’ll never talk to. “Blue Jeans” is three minutes of synth-pop sparkle and soft girl swagger from Australia’s next breakout star, ALEXIS. If Olivia Rodrigo and Griff had a musical baby on a Sydney train—it’d sound like this.

MYEA ft. ROSE. ‘4get’

Imagine your favorite late-night playlist got a makeover by two of the coolest rising stars in the game. That’s “4get” — a track that’s part love letter, part soulful sigh, with MYEA’s velvety voice wrapping you in warmth while ROSE.’s poetic verses keep you hooked like your new favorite book. Warning: listening may cause spontaneous daydreaming and uncontrollable vibe-setting.
