Aperture – Harry Styles

Harry Styles turns to electronic beats and club-ready bass for his comeback single, which tells us this new album feels made for the dancefloor.

Duyan – Ben&Ben

Uplifting in all the right ways, Ben&Ben’s latest song is a feel-good jam celebrating the people we can always count on in our lives.  

Moved on Last – Angela Ken and Over October

Last of a Dying Breed – Joji

Joji turns up the bpm for a pulsating track that makes us want to live life with a little more gusto.

Crown – EXO

It feels right seeing how EXO remembers the power they have as a group with their first studio album in three years, REVERXE, even after all this time.

Imposter – Louis Tomlinson

Louis Tomlinson begins 2026 with a confident new album that marks his first LP in three years.

Opening Night – Arctic Monkeys and War Child Records

This is the band’s first new song in years, and it still has that magic we have come to love from them. The best part is that all proceeds from the track go to supporting War Child UK, a charity that advocates for children caught in active warzones.

HYPNOTIZE – XG

True to the song’s name, XG puts a spell on the listener with their upbeat, dance-pop comeback. And speaking of comeback, it’s always great to start the year with a new XG album, which they did with THE CORE.

work – no na

Rising Indonesian girl group no na puts forward their most high-energy dance-pop song yet, which is all about showing up, putting in the hours, and earning the glow-up.

I Could Get Used To This – Jessie Ware

For her 2026 return, Jessie Ware delivers angelic vocals over a catchy disco beat for a track about enjoying the finer things in life.

Losing You – Naomi Scott

Groovy, hypnotic, and moody, this song’s catchy sound makes a nice contrast with its lyrics on realizing that a relationship is about to end.

cold – Paolo Sandejas

Paolo’s sentimental new single touches upon a reality that life really is cold sometimes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have that warm feeling of being loved and welcomed.
