 |
Date Added : May 23,2025
“Latina Foreva” marks Karol G’s entrance into her “orange era,” teased cryptically with nods to “Ivonny” and paired with a cover art featuring ski boots and oversized earrings. The track folds early 2000s reggaeton motifs into slick pop stylings, with production helmed by Mazzarri and Misha. Its video leans into contrast, staging a fiery anthem against Mammoth Lakes’ snow, with flamenco guitarist Jose Del Tomate and Alexa Demie slipping in a cameo. Music video directed by : Pedro Artola

48 . Mariah Carey – The Mimi Sessions [Live]
|
Date Added : May 23,2025
“Mariah Carey – The Mimi Sessions [Live]” revisits five tracks from her 2005 album with a minimalist lens that swaps production gloss for raw vocal presence. Stripped arrangements of “Don’t Forget About Us,” “Circles,” “Say Somethin’,” “Your Girl,” and “We Belong Together” highlight the tension between restrained instrumentation and emotional surge. Daniel Moore’s musical direction slides into the background, letting Carey’s five-octave execution take the foreground. Released in May 2025 to mark two decades since “The Emancipation of Mimi,” the session nods to a career spanning 200 million records sold and five Grammy wins without indulging in nostalgia.

|
46 . Jerry Cantrell – I Want Blood
|
Date Added : May 23,2025
“I Want Blood” slinks in as the title track of Jerry Cantrell’s fourth solo offering, out October 2024. Its groove leans into Queens of the Stone Age territory, with a chorus that flirts with Foo Fighters’ stadium-ready grit and a punk edge underscored by LouderSound’s reading. The chorus carries a subtle new wave tint—Cantrell himself nods to The Cure as a quiet whisper behind the veneer of aggression. Co-founder of Alice in Chains, Cantrell adds this to a résumé that threads through Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica. Music video directed by : Bill Yukich – Song featured on the album : I Want Blood

45 . mgk – Cliché
|
Date Added : May 23,2025
“Cliché” signals Machine Gun Kelly’s return to solo work, surfacing in May 2025 as the lead single from his unnamed new album. Keeping with his post-Mainstream Sellout streak of standalone drops, the track aligns itself with MGK’s habit of sidestepping genre predictability. Active since 2007, he continues to orbit between music and acting, his career built on jagged transitions rather than smooth evolutions. Music video directed by : Sam Cahill
|
44 . Richard Ashcroft – Lover
|
Date Added : May 23,2025
“Lover” marks Richard Ashcroft’s return after seven years, sampling Joan Armatrading’s 1976 track “Love And Affection”—with her blessing, no less. Produced alongside Emre Ramazanoglu, the song drapes acoustic guitar and strings over clipped snaps and spoken-word verses, landing somewhere between confessional and conversational. Ashcroft, of The Verve fame, injects echoes of his earlier solo textures without making a scene about it.
|
43 . Ariana Grande – Supernatural
|
Date Added : May 21,2025
“Supernatural” trades in breathless synths and polished hooks, shaping a glossy dance-pop frame for Ariana Grande‘s take on romantic rapture. Co-produced by Max Martin, Ilya Salmanzadeh, and Grande herself, the track equates falling in love with a kind of secular sorcery—more apparition than affection. The 2025 video accompanies the deluxe release of the album, featuring nine bonus tracks, six of them new additions. Music video directed by : Christian Breslauer – Song featured on the album : Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead
|
42 . ZAYN – What I Am [Live From Mexico City]
|
Date Added : May 21,2025
In “What I Am [Live From Mexico City],” ZAYN reshapes the studio original with subtle shifts in phrasing and pacing that expose more porous emotional undercurrents. Stripped of production gloss, the performance leans into his upper register with unexpected ease, toggling between restraint and flourish without veering into oversentimentality. Produced by Rogét Chahayed and Happy Perez, the song places him firmly within reach of a loyal Latin American fanbase, where his solo catalog finds eager resonance.

Set in the concrete blues of Keys’ own New York upbringing, the song carries the anxious pull between longing and letting go. Song featured on the album : Hell’S Kitchen (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
|
40 . Suede – Disintegrate
|
Date Added : May 21,2025
“Disintegrate” by Suede lands somewhere between glam noir and post-punk desolation, channeling the band’s moody theatrics with a dash of lipstick-smudged elegance. It bears the marks of a group reshaped by lineup changes, including the exit of Bernard Butler in 1994 and the entry of Richard Oakes. Though once categorized under Britpop, Suede politely steps around the label, preferring their own stylistic narrative. Song featured on the album : Antidepressants
|
39 . Shakira – Antología [ The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon]
|
Date Added : May 21,2025
Threading teenage hindsight with acoustic austerity, “Antología” walks the listener through Shakira’s early blueprint of love—earnest, unvarnished, and just a little wounded. Written at 18 for her breakout album “Pies Descalzos,” it trades melodrama for controlled sentiment, lingering less on heartbreak than on the education it provides. On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she resurrects it with stoic clarity, translating adolescent emotional bookkeeping for an American audience.
|
38 . The Kooks – If They Could Only Know
|
Date Added : May 21,2025
“If They Could Only Know” finds The Kooks stepping back from swagger to flirt with self-reflection, pairing jangly guitars with lyrics that hint at emotional baptism—“I was walking in the desert and now I’m jumping in the water.” Luke Pritchard wanders through a vignette of curated melancholy, cuddling a small dog as if to soften the edges of the song’s private confessions. Released under Lonely Cat and Virgin Music Group, the track maintains the band’s indie rock leanings without nostalgia. Music video directed by : Sean Hagan – Song featured on the album : Never/Know
|
37 . JJ – Wasted Love [Live Eurovison 2025]
|
Date Added : May 18,2025
JJ, born Johannes Pietsch in Vienna and raised between Dubai and Austria, represents a collision of geographies and identities in “Wasted Love.” Co-written with Teodora Špirić and Thomas Turner, the track sees JJ stretching his operatic range over a production that builds from introspection to a pulsing techno crescendo. Performed live at Eurovision 2025, the song waltzes through grief and defiance, wrapping heartbreak in theatrical flair. Eurovision pundits label it “popera,” a tag JJ wears with measured irony as Austria clinches the trophy with 436 points.
|
36 . The Weeknd – Hurry Up Tomorrow
|
Date Added : May 18,2025
“Hurry Up Tomorrow” closes The Weeknd’s sixth studio album with a gospel-tinged piano ballad that trades synth-soaked hedonism for stark introspection. His voice, stripped of theatrics, recounts regret-tinted memories and conjures a spiritual reckoning that edges on confessional territory. References to childhood and bruised faith suggest Abel Tesfaye’s final notes as The Weeknd may double as a reluctant farewell.
|
35 . Rihanna – Friend Of Mine (w/ Chris Miller & Andrew Hebert)
|
Date Added : May 18,2025
Rihanna resurfaces with “Friend of Mine,” a synth-laced contribution to the May 2025 Smurfs soundtrack, coinciding with her vocal portrayal of Smurfette. Flanked by Chris Miller and Andrew Hebert, she trades sentiment over a minimal, loop-driven beat that leans heavily on themes of uncomplicated companionship. The accompanying video drifts into kaleidoscopic territory, pairing neon surrealism with a troupe of animated blue sidekicks. Music video directed by : Chris Miller, Andrew Hebert – Song featured on the album : Smurfs Soundtrack
|
34 . LISA – When I’m With You (w/ Tyla)
|
Date Added : May 18,2025
On “When I’m With You,” LISA recruits Tyla for a track that sidesteps saccharine sentiment in favor of low-key romantic escapism, coasting over a beat lodged somewhere between electropop shimmer and trap minimalism. LISA, who previously broke records with “Lalisa,” stirs her hip-hop roots with just enough polish to keep things radio-sleek, while Tyla’s breezy input adds a slippery, elastic texture that softens the edges. Music video directed by : Olivia De Camps – Song featured on the album : Alter Ego
|
33 . Lola Young – One Thing
|
Date Added : May 18,2025
South London’s Lola Young returns with “One Thing,” a track that cruises on a laid-back guitar loop and a simmering R&B pulse.

The video twists familiar settings—a classroom, a boxing ring—into stages for subtly subversive choreographies crafted by Emmy-winner Ryan Heffington. Music video directed by : Dave Meyers
|

|
Date Added : May 18,2025

Song featured on the album : The Co-Star

|
Date Added : May 18,2025
JoJo Siwa releases “Bulletproof” in May 2025, with production by Colin Brittain, pivoting away from glittery bows and into darker sonic territory. A product of her Dance Moms origins, she retools her image amid pounding beats and sharp synths, signaling a shift from teenage icon to pop contender. “Bulletproof” sits at the intersection of self-reinvention and performative defiance, glazed in queer-coded aesthetics and overcontrolled vulnerability. Music video directed by : Jojo Siwa
|
30 . Zucchero & Russell Crowe – Just Breathe
|
Date Added : May 18,2025
Covering Pearl Jam’s “Just Breathe,” Zucchero and Russell Crowe opt for transcontinental introspection—he in Australia, Zucchero in his Italian enclave. What begins as a grunge-era ballad mutates into a blues-tinged conversation, heavy with pauses and shared ghosts. The song finds the “Italian blues father” trading verses with a Gladiator-turned-musician, each chasing meaning in breath and memory. Music video directed by : Russell Crowe, Matteo Maggi – Song featured on the album : Discover Ii
|
29 . Little Simz – Young
|
Date Added : May 18,2025
Released in May 2025 via AWAL, “Young” presents Little Simz in punk-tinted alt-rap mode, threading a staccato rhythm beneath elliptical rhymes. Produced by Miles Clinton James, its sonic scruffiness offers a pointed foil to the polished melancholy of prior singles like “Free” and “Flood.” Lyrically, Simz nods to working-class grit and adolescent defiance, laced with dry wit and casual bravado. The video mischiefs with Simz disguised as a cantankerous old woman wreaking suburban havoc. Music video directed by : Dave Meyers – Song featured on the album : Lotus

Her delivery favors hesitation over clarity, offering vulnerability wrapped in ambiguity. Music video directed by : Maia Stern (Tiny Desk) – Song featured on the album : Lives Outgrown
|
26 . Charli XCX – Party 4 U
|
Date Added : May 16,2025
“Party 4 U” blends pop and hyperpop structures through echoing synth loops and a minimal, glitch-driven beat, repeating the phrase “party on-party on you” like a broken invitation that never got answered. Written and produced by Charli XCX and A. G. Cook in 2017, it lands as track nine on her 2020 studio album “How I’m Feeling Now,” released under Atlantic Records. The production credits list A. G. Cook on background vocals, synths, drums, and engineering, adding his signature icy restraint. Lyrics mirror Gatsby-grade longing, recasting party planning as a one-sided transaction of desire, framed with irony rather than grandiosity. The song appears in the 2023 film Bottoms, and sees belated Billboard 100 entry in 2025 after viral exposure following Charli XCX‘s Coachella set. Music video directed by : Mitch Ryan
|
25 . Aya Nakamura & Joé Dwèt Filé – Baddies
|
Date Added : May 16,2025
“Baddies” pairs Aya Nakamura’s languid signature vocal lines with Joé Dwèt Filé’s smoother tenor over a percussive Afrobeat-pop hybrid. The track drapes flirtation in deadpan cool, teetering between provocation and dismissal without ever spelling out who holds the upper hand. Set against a lean rhythmic frame, their exchanges drift more like playful taunts than declarations of intent, neither quite giving in nor backing off.
|
24 . FINNEAS – 2001
|
Date Added : May 16,2025
In “2001,” FINNEAS plays an actor smitten with his director, portrayed by Oscar-nominated Kate Hudson, who remains aloof, fixated on her artistic vision and unmoved by his affections. The music video borrows visual signatures from Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey,” spinning through fisheye lenses, flipped frames, and cosmic isolation. The song’s chorus pleads with a drifting lover: “Honey, what you runnin’ from? When you comin’ back to bed?” Music video directed by : Claudia Sulewski – Song featured on the album : For Cryin’ Out Loud!
|
23 . Joe Jonas – Heart By Heart

|

The video features comedian and actress Star Amerasu, adding a sharp visual echo to its trans-advocacy pulse. Music video directed by : Dominic Mercurio – Song featured on the album : Better Dreaming
|
20 . Peter Doherty – Pot Of Gold
|
Date Added : May 16,2025
Peter Doherty’s “Pot Of Gold” remodels “Hush Little Baby” into an acoustic ode to fatherhood, laced with wry lyricism and gentle irony. Composed for his infant daughter, the track threads nursery-rhyme motifs through personal anecdotes and sideways glances at adult life gone sideways. References to “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” add cinematic texture to this quiet reflection on change, fragility, and domestic recalibration. Song featured on the album : Felt Better Alive

Date Added : May 9,2025
“I Wanna Play My Guitar” pairs Joe Satriani and Steve Vai in a studio single that nods to their shared Long Island adolescence and lifelong devotion to fretwork. Glenn Hughes lends his unmistakable vocals, coating the track in a distinctly classic rock varnish with just the right grain of excess. Guitar worship is the prevailing ritual, backed by Marco Mendoza, Kenny Aronoff, and keyboards from Eric Caudieux. Derek Day, Doug MacArthur, and Vai double as choir, affirming this is less arena anthem than sacred rite. Music video directed by : Zz Satriani
|
17 . Kae Tempest – Know Yourself
|
Date Added : May 9,2025

15 . Ed Sheeran – Old Phone
|
Date Added : May 9,2025
Switching on a phone untouched since 2015, Ed Sheeran scrolls through digital ghosts—texts from departed friends, fractured love stories, and fragmented family ties. “Old Phone” emerges from this nocturnal scroll-fest, written bleary-eyed at 2am in an Indian hotel room and recorded that very morning. Produced with Ilya Salmanzadeh and Blake Slatkin, the track settles into introspection, tinted with jet lag and the tintype glow of lost connections.

|
12 . Sugababes – Weeds
|
Date Added : May 9,2025
“Weeds” sees Sugababes—Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, and Siobhán Donaghy—reunite with a message stitched in resilience and entanglement, reflecting their off-stage reconciliation. Produced by Grammy-winner Jon Shave, the track sidesteps bombast for something more intimate, trading gloss for slow-burn evolution. Self-released via The Orchard, it leans into themes of mutual growth and connection, hinting at roots too embedded to pull apart. Music video directed by : Gemma Yin
|

The song marked Shakira‘s first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006. Born in Barranquilla in 1977, she has since sold over 100 million records and won three Grammys and fourteen Latin Grammys.

Adams, whose earlier records like “Reckless” housed tracks such as “Summer of ’69,” keeps the guitar-driven melancholy intact, if slightly softer around the edges.

8 . Kelly Clarkson – Where Have You Been
|
Date Added : May 4,2025
“Where Have You Been” marks Kelly Clarkson’s return to original material post-*Chemistry* and her first outing under her own High Road Records imprint. Co-written and produced with Jaco Caraco, the track is sparked by a throwaway line from *Only Murders in the Building*, where Martin Short questions Meryl Streep’s long absence—with just enough melodrama to inspire a ballad. Clarkson threads a narrative of romantic near-misses flipped by a sudden, disarming connection. Jessi Collins shadows her vocals with restrained harmonies, while the video keeps it understated: warm light, bare stage, familiar band, and a singer who prefers a mic to metaphor. Music video directed by : Weiss Eubanks & Jonny Mars

7 . Paris Hilton – Infinity
|
Date Added : May 4,2025
“Infinity” leans on a crisp, electro-driven pop rhythm built around layered synthesizers and tightly looped hooks. Recorded in the Los Angeles home studios of Paris Hilton and Sia, the track balances glossy production with a hint of wry detachment. Hilton, born in New York City in 1981, first entered the music sphere with her 2006 debut “Paris,” which included the Billboard Hot 100 track “Stars Are Blind.” Music video directed by : Ja Moreno – Song featured on the album : Infinite Icon

6 . CYRIL & James Blunt – Tears Dry Tonight
|
Date Added : May 4,2025
“Tears Dry Tonight” pairs Australian producer CYRIL’s deep house sensibilities with James Blunt’s restrained vocals in a track that leans more velvet dusk than sunrise euphoria. Blunt, still wielding the understatement he carried from military barracks to the Billboard 100, delivers lines with the weariness of someone who’s seen both war zones and wedding playlists. CYRIL, born Cyril Riley in Darwin, lends a melodic backdrop that smolders quietly rather than explodes, following the viral afterglow of his 2023 breakout.

5 . Eric Church – Hands Of Time
|
Date Added : May 4,2025
Produced by longtime collaborator Jay Joyce, “Hands Of Time” fuses southern rock, country, and blues with a side of gospel harmonies and horn flourishes that wouldn’t be out of place in a southern revival tent. The ticking clock motif threads through the track, a not-so-subtle nod to time’s relentless shuffle forward. Church name-drops Seger’s “Hollywood Nights,” Petty’s “Even the Losers,” and AC/DC’s “Back in Black” like sonic heirlooms charting life’s messier milestones. Joanna Cotten lends background vocals, adding texture to Church’s steady rasp and the track’s bittersweet muscle memory. Song featured on the album : Evangeline Vs. The Machine

4 . Mike Dawes – Euclid
|
Date Added : May 4,2025
Mike Dawes reworks Sleep Token’s “Euclid,” turning the band’s 2023 piano-and-drums heavy lament into an acoustic solo act. Armed with finger slaps, body hits, and harmonic tapping, he renders not only the guitar and lead vocals, but also the percussion, all on one guitar—as if multitasking were a genre. He calls the melodic conversion straightforward, though admits the drum mimicry proved “a bit of a nightmare.” Music video directed by : Josh Partridge – Song featured on the album : Galactic Acid

3 . Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts – Lets Roll Again
|
Date Added : May 4,2025
“Let’s Roll Again” pairs Neil Young with The Chrome Hearts to critique the electric vehicle industry’s inertia, singling out Elon Musk with a smirk: “If you’re a fascist, then get a Tesla.” Borrowing the melodic DNA of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land,” the track wraps protest in folk familiarity. Produced with Lou Adler and John Hanlon, it features Spooner Oldham, Micah Nelson, Corey McCormick, and Anthony LoGerfo. Song featured on the album : Talkin To The Trees

2 . Gloria Estefan – La Vecina [No Sé Na’]
|
Date Added : May 4,2025
“La Vecina (No Sé Na’)” filters salsa through Gloria Estefan’s unmistakable phrasing, pairing sly percussion with neighborhood gossip as performance art. Written by Emilio Estefan and released in 2025, the track sketches the all-knowing “vecina”—that omnipresent figure of urban Latin life who sees all, knows more, and loudly insists she knows nothing. Filmed at El Cuartelito, the Miami apartment where Estefan landed in 1960 with her mother, the video quietly aligns nostalgia with sly humor. The track conjures both 1960s Cuban-American rhythms and Miami’s overheard chatter, without ever claiming to be more than a winking tribute. Music video directed by : Gloria Estefan

1 . Ben Harper – Before The Rain Dried
|
Date Added : May 4,2025
“Before The Rain Dried” finds Ben Harper performing every note himself—vocals, piano, Moog bass, drums, Mellotron strings, and Monteleone lap steel—without inviting anyone else to the wake. Written in the thick fog of grief after the death of Michael Ward, his longtime guitarist and sometime co-conspirator, the track arrives fully formed in Harper’s words, like a message bottled mid-storm. The video keeps things literal: Harper at the piano, head bowed, soaked in rain—no metaphors spared. Music video directed by : Ben Pier
