If you’ve ever caught yourself missing the days when funk made its way into rock songs without asking permission, Cold Engines are here to remind you that the groove never actually left. It just needed the right band to dust it off, turn it up, and give it some teeth. Hailing from Boston’s North Shore, Cold Engines are a melody-driven rock outfit with funk in their bloodstream and pop instincts baked into their DNA. Fronted by songwriter David Drouin alongside drummer Aaron Z

There’s a certain kind of loneliness that doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t scream or collapse the room. It just sits there, soft, heavy, and familiar - especially when you realize most of the people around you don’t really know you anymore. That’s the feeling NTHN captures with unsettling clarity on his latest release, “Lonely Again.” The UK-based cloud rap artist, producer, and founder of Clouded North , NTHN has been steadily carving out a sound that feels both vast and

Somewhere between a pastel sunset, a flickering VHS tape, and a synth line that feels like it’s smiling through tears, Tears are just glitter  quietly steps into their own universe, and invites you to stay awhile. The project is the brainchild of Stockholm-based hitmakers Gustav Jonsson  and Fredrik Berger , two Swedish songwriters and producers whose fingerprints are already all over modern pop. Between them, they’ve written and produced for names like Charli XCX, Zara Larss

There’s something quietly rebellious about Moises “MO” Santizo’s latest move. In an era where everything is disposable, scrollable, and algorithm-fed, MO decided to slow things all the way down, to 12 inches, two sides, and a needle drop. His newest release isn’t a song or an album in the traditional sense. It’s a spoken-word interview, pressed exclusively on vinyl, and it feels like the beginning of a whole new lane. MO’s story has never followed a straight line anyway. Born

Some records don’t feel like releases at all, they feel like you stumbled into someone’s bedroom, sat at the edge of the bed, and listened while they read pages from a journal they weren’t sure they’d ever share. That’s exactly how Chloe Mayse’s debut EP Dear Love…  lands. It’s soft, brave, a little messy, and painfully honest in the best way. Chloe Mayse is a queer indie-pop/alt-pop artist from Toronto, but her story stretches far beyond geography. Music has been part of her

Sometimes a song doesn’t ask you to turn up, it asks you to slow down. To breathe. To step back from the noise for just a second and remember who you are and who’s holding you together. That’s exactly where Icyy Bleu  meets us with her latest release, “Break Away.” Rooted in R&B and soul , Icyy Bleu’s music feels less like a performance and more like a quiet conversation with your spirit. Known for her smooth, emotionally rich vocals and cinematic production style, she create

Most Christmas songs tell us everything is magical, joyful, and wrapped up with a bow. Jamie Alimorad’s latest release does the opposite - and that’s exactly why it works. “ Santa Sucks ” is a tongue-in-cheek pop-rock holiday anthem that gives a voice to every kid (and adult) who followed the rules, stayed on the Nice List, and still didn’t get what they were hoping for. Instead of sugarcoating disappointment, Alimorad leans into it with humor, heart, and a massive sing-along

Some songs feel like songs. Others feel like scenes you step into. Secrets In Your Eyes , the latest release from Los Angeles–based producer and artist Yash Kapoor , is firmly the second kind. It doesn’t just play through your speakers, it pulls you into a dimly lit world where heartbeats echo, shadows move on their own, and emotions feel just a little too close to the surface. From the very first pulse, the track opens like a thriller rolling its opening credits. A heartbeat

Some songs punch you in the chest. This one goes straight for the soul and doesn’t apologize for it. “ Waiting in the Light ,” the final track on  Mike Maimone’ s upcoming album  Guess What? I Love You , isn’t just another grief song; it’s a cosmic gut-check on what love really means when life gets ripped out from under you. Mike isn’t chasing pretty metaphors or staging a Hallmark moment. He’s telling the truth the way grief actually feels: weird, holy, disorienting, magical

Every once in a while, an artist comes along with music that doesn’t try to impress you, it just finds  you. Like a friend who sits beside you on a bad day and doesn’t say much, but somehow says everything. That’s exactly the energy of Rhaina Yasmin , the Las Vegas indie-rock/alt-folk storyteller whose new EP, Magician , feels like stumbling into a private diary you weren’t supposed to read… but now you’re quietly grateful you did. Rhaina has always carried emotion like a sec

Every once in a while, a music video drops that feels less like a promo piece and more like someone cracked open a brain and let the dreams spill out. That’s exactly what Fur Trapper (the shadowy, synth-soaked alter ego of Lisa Rieffel)... just pulled off with her new visualizer for “Never Enough (Modern Human).” It’s weird. It’s beautiful. It’s cinematic in that “I definitely need to rewatch this to make sure I caught everything” way. And honestly? It might be her best work

Every so often, a new artist shows up with a record that feels like a memory you’ve lived before, and that’s exactly what New Jersey–born, NYC-raised singer Maithili Raelle delivers with her latest single, Used to Love . It’s a nostalgic, bittersweet reflection on a relationship that was golden until it wasn’t, sung with the kind of buttery Pop-R&B warmth that makes it feel painfully personal. Maithili’s connection to music started early. She grew up surrounded by Bollywood
