“Easy Lover” emerges from a studio session with Ryan Tedder, initially penned with Beyoncé in mind for a country-infused venture. The track narrowly avoids exile, as Beyoncé pivots to join Cyrus on “II Most Wanted,” leaving this one in Miley’s custody. Its chorus—first drafted during the “Plastic Hearts” era—is retooled, soaking in tension between craving affection and resisting its messiness. Cyrus, known both for her early Disney fame and Grammy-nodded work, delivers it with calculated restraint.

5 . Robbie Williams – Rocket
|
Date Added : May 25,2025
“Rocket” sees Robbie Williams lean into a heavier rock framework, anchored by a guitar solo from Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. The track fuses 1990s British rock influence with a deliberate nod to punk aesthetics, made visible in a video that follows Williams—tracksuited and slyly nostalgic—through London in the company of a flash mob. Scenes with Iommi in Birmingham sharpen the song’s Midlands imprint, linking past and present with studied flair. Music video directed by : Charlie Lightening – Song featured on the album : Britpop

4 . Green Day – One Eyed Bastard
|
Date Added : May 25,2025
Built on a snarling Black Sabbath-esque riff, “One Eyed Bastard” serves Green Day‘s take on vengeance and emotional wreckage with aggressively taut guitar work and a taste for the unfiltered. Billie Joe Armstrong calls its lyrics “ugly thoughts,” wrapped in punk grit and slashing hooks. Produced by Rob Cavallo and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, the track features Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool in full throttle. It lands on Reprise Records and joins the NHL 25 soundtrack. Music video directed by : Ryan Baxley & Brendan Walter – Song featured on the album : Saviors (Édition De Luxe)

3 . Tom Odell – Don’t Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder
|
Date Added : May 25,2025
“Don’t Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder” opens Tom Odell’s forthcoming album with a message that toes the line between comfort and quiet desperation. Lyrics honed over nine months on the road across the UK and Europe suggest a ritual of emotional triage rather than resolution. Featuring Odell’s wife, Georgina, the video renders personal grief in soft focus, with the chorus clinging to the idea that things might not be quite as bad as they appear. Music video directed by : Alex Leggatt – Song featured on the album : A Wonderful Life

2 . Jon Bellion – WHY (w/ Luke Combs)
|
Date Added : May 25,2025
Written two days before Jon Bellion becomes a father, “WHY” pairs his melodic introspection with Luke Combs‘ gravel-toned realism. The track shuffles through folk-leaning acoustics and intensifies as parental anxiety creeps in, lined with hesitant joy and unfiltered doubt. Once courted by heavyweight acts, the song ends up in Bellion’s own cradle, with Combs—fresh off fatherhood himself—adding grit to the lullaby. Music video directed by : Alex Palumbo – Song featured on the album : Father Figure

1 . LeAnn Rimes – Blue [Live, The 60th ACM Awards]
|
Date Added : May 25,2025
LeAnn Rimes revisits “Blue” at the 60th ACM Awards in May 2025, offering a live rendition that trades its original teen melancholy for a more seasoned ache. Released in 1996 just before her 14th birthday, the track is the title song of her debut album and her first single. A Billboard Hot 100 appearance wraps it in commercial legitimacy, while its vintage-country texture still clings stubbornly to a bygone era.
