Runway – Lady Gaga and Doechii
Lady Gaga and Doechii team up for the most diva-esque song they’ve made to date, and it’s appropriate considering that it’s for the official soundtrack of The Devil Wears Prada 2. This is the kind of collab the film deserves.
Blush – BINI
Just in time for their historic Coachella performance, BINI is out with their latest EP, Signals, which may just be their most cohesive body of work to date.
Madwoman – Laufey
Laufey’s A Matter of Time album gets an added chapter with the release of A Matter of Time: The Final Hour, the deluxe edition featuring four new songs. The album captures Laufey’s emotional renaissance as she embraces the anxieties and vulnerability that accompany experiencing “real love” in its many forms. Case in point: her latest single Madwoman, which narrates her uncontrollable desires for a special someone.
PINKY UP – KATSEYE
KATSEYE continues their foray into Gen Alpha pop and hyperpop with their new single that is as unserious as it is confident.
Back and Forth – Kehlani and Missy Elliott
Kehlani and Missy Elliott in the same song? It’s exactly the vibey banger you think it is as the duo shares their frustrations about not wanting to fight with their partner.
Bad Angel – Anyma and LISA
While short, Bad Angel leaves a mark with its pop-EDM beats and LISA’s distinct vocals that blend well together.
Lambing – Lola Amour
Lola Amour turns the groove to 11 with their new lively single that feels tailor-made for the disco or any dancefloor.
2GOOD4U – Denise Julia
Following a couple of years on hiatus and moving to New York City, Denise Julia is back on the scene with her comeback single, and it’s clear she still knows how to deliver R&B goodness.
nananabik – rhodessa
This mid-tempo rock track finds its place with its subtle yet clear emotional message that many can relate to.
What’s a girl to do – DAYOUNG
WJSN’s DAYOUNG’s solo career deserves a lot more attention because, as her new solo single proves, she has that It-girl energy. And the fact that Shiloh Jolie is one of her dancers makes it even better.
So Cute – HWASA
HWASA brings out the synths for her 80s-coded pop jam about just wanting to experience love in her life, something a lot of people can agree with.
LU MARZAN – MANHID
