55 . Joyner Lucas – Tear Me Down (w/ Ava Max)

Date Added : Jul 24,2025

Released July 17, 2025, “Tear Me Down” finds Joyner Lucas trading verses with Ava Max in a rap-pop blend produced by Leo Son and ADHD Productions.

Backed by Atlantic Records, the track doesn’t exactly offer couples therapy but does dissect relationship friction with lines like “Why would you go tear me up just to take me down?”

Though they co-write, neither artist seems especially interested in loving forever—just long enough to get a hook out of it.

The single slots into Joyner Lucas’s 2025 output and ties into his project “ADHD 2,” a follow-up to the original that once matched him up with Eminem and Logic.

Lucas, born 1988, has a history of meet-me-at-the-crossroads singles such as “Ross Capicchioni” and “I’m Not Racist,” the latter netting him a Grammy nod for spelling things out plainly.

When not peering into relationship wreckage, his catalog strays into themes like racial tension and mental health, as in his Lil Baby collab “Ramen & OJ.”

54 . Ozzy Osbourne – No More Tears

Date Added : Jul 24,2025

Billy Idol and Steve Stevens bring a touch of glam to “No More Tears” at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, paying tribute to Ozzy Osbourne in their own spiky way.

Jack Black sets the tone, ushering in a lineup that leans into volume, if not decorum.

A few decibels later, Maynard James Keenan revisits “Crazy Train” flanked by Chad Smith, Robert Trujillo, Andrew Watt, and Wolfgang Van Halen.

Jelly Roll pairs with Zakk Wylde for “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” trading theatrics for a slower burn.

“No More Tears,” sitting somewhere between heavy metal grandeur and hard rock melancholy, stands as one of Osbourne’s stickier solo efforts—glossy, long, and hard to ignore.

53 . Ren – Vincent’s Tale, Sunflowers

Date Added : Jul 24,2025

Released digitally by XVII Records on December 15, 2021, “Chalk Outlines” is a collaboration between Welsh artist Ren (Ren Gill) and Chinchilla.

The track clocks in at 3 minutes and 54 seconds and features English lyrics penned by both performers.

The accompanying music video, showcasing both artists, premiered in the UK ten days later on December 25.

Ren, who’s juggled Lyme disease and projects like Trick The Fox, often develops songs circling mental health without dressing them up too much.

One of his previous spins around the internet was his take on “Bittersweet Symphony,” which found traction on viral platforms.

52 . Good Charlotte – Stepper

Date Added : Jul 24,2025

“Stepper” arrives in July 2025 as a single from Good Charlotte’s upcoming eighth album, Motel Du Cap, ending a seven-year album break since Generation Rx.

Written by Benji and Joel Madden and produced by Zakk Cervini and Jordan Fish, the track marks the return of the original lineup, with Paul Thomas back on bass and Billy Martin on guitar.

The song leans into themes of resilience and shared intent, built around the idea of consistently showing up—for oneself and others.

In the Erik Rojas-directed video, the Madden brothers play motel maintenance workers as guests belt out the lyrics mid-task, offering a grounded if slightly surreal take on endurance.

Formed in 1996 in Waldorf, Maryland, the band first broke with their 2000 debut and hit full stride in 2002 with The Young and the Hopeless, which spun out triple-platinum singles like “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.”

Pop punk, emo, punk—Good Charlotte has played all three without choosing sides, keeping a steady hand on melody while switching gears over seven albums and counting.

51 . Passenger – Song For The Countryside (w/ Jack Wolfe)

Date Added : Jul 24,2025

Passenger writes the music and lyrics for “Song For The Countryside,” a folk pop number performed by himself and Jack Wolfe.

Released July 18, 2025, it’s part of a concept album tied to the stage version of Rachel Joyce’s “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.”

Wolfe plays The Balladeer, delivering the song just as Harold’s whimsical trek kicks off, in a moment tinged with rural rapture and hesitant hope.

The recording is produced by longtime Passenger collaborator Chris Vallejo, alongside Rosenberg.

The whole production boasts a crew of specialists in audio, video, and scenic design, which is about as theatrical as it sounds.

Premiering in summer 2025 at Chichester Festival Theatre, the show is eyeing a West End transfer come 2026.

Passenger—born Michael David Rosenberg in Brighton on May 17, 1984—started off as the frontman of a band, confusingly called Passenger, until 2009.

From there, he carried the name solo, trading backstage squabbles for a guitar and a knack for stripped-down storytelling.

His breakout came in 2012 with “Let Her Go,” an earworm that stormed 16 countries and still clings to YouTube’s leaderboard.

Fourteen albums in—one with the band, thirteen solo—he’s kept to his indie folk lane with releases like *All the Little Lights* and *Birds That Flew and Ships That Sailed* (2022).

50 . Confidence Man & JADE – Gossip

Date Added : Jul 24,2025

Released July 23, 2025, “Gossip” pairs Australian outfit Confidence Man with featured collaborator JADE for their first joint single, issued under the tag “A Chaos Release.”

The track clocks in at around three minutes and comes via I OH YOU and Mushroom, with distribution handled by Universal Music Operations Limited.

Confidence Man, made up of Janet Planet, Sugar Bones, Clarence McGuffie, and Reggie Goodchild, sticks with their usual electronic pop leanings and penchant for masked theatrics.

An official music video drops with the track, available from day one.

49 . Bright Eyes – 1st World Blues

Date Added : Jul 24,2025

Bright Eyes throws a curveball with the ska-leaning “1st World Blues,” out July 2025 and built on off-beat guitar chops and brassy political side-eye.

Co-written with Alex Levine (aka Alex Orange Drink) of The So So Glos, the track jabs at Reaganomics, tired-out capitalism, and the zombie apocalypse that is texting culture.

References to Desmond Dekker and Tim Armstrong keep the ska lineage intact, even as the lyrics go for the jugular.

The Brooklyn-shot video, in classic black and white, is helmed by Jared Sherbert and sparks with animation from Sparks Studios.

Skater Nelly Morville, musician Adam Reich, Alex Orange Drink, and a reasonably photogenic dog named Butter make cameos between nods to ’90s NYC hip hop visuals.

Born in Omaha in 1995, Bright Eyes—Conor Oberst’s long-running vehicle—once leaned indie folk, as on “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” and “First Day of My Life.”

Now they’re throwing ska horns into the mix and not blinking twice.

Music video directed by : Jared Sherbert

48 . will.i.am & Taboo – East LA

Date Added : Jul 20,2025

In “East LA,” will.i.am and Taboo reflect on their Los Angeles roots with a nod to immigrant and indigenous communities shaping the city’s pulse.

The track incorporates a sample of Santana’s “Maria Maria,” linking the late-’90s radio mainstay to today’s barrio narratives.

Lyrically, it maps growing up amid border tensions, a response to policies that disrupt the lives of the very people keeping the city running.

Sterling Hampton IV directs the video, which zooms in on the often unseen residents whose quiet labor keeps the billboard skyline glittering.

will.i.am, née William James Adams Jr., co-founded the Black Eyed Peas with Taboo and apl.de.ap in 1995, releasing hits like *Elephunk* and *Monkey Business*.

His solo ventures include *#willpower* (2013), home to the Britney Spears-assisted “Scream & Shout,” which did its time near the top of Billboard’s ranks.

Music video directed by : Will.I.Am & Sterling Hampton Iv

47 . FKA twigs – Perfectly

Date Added : Jul 20,2025

Released in July 2025, “Perfectly” finds FKA twigs turning the page with uptempo dance-pop and syncopated synths always on beat, if never quite straight.

She circles themes of vulnerability, collective connection, and that sticky moment when one foot starts to edge away from the past.

The track slides seamlessly into her live sets, where its pulse finds new muscle amid motion and crowd murmur.

Tahliah Debrett Barnett, born in 1988, debuted with “LP1” (2014), a record that swerved between electronic, art pop, and alt-R&B without asking permission.

Then came “Magdalene” (2019), which didn’t bother with middle ground either, and neither does this new chapter—though it does bring friends along for the ride.

Music video directed by : Jrdan Hemingway – Song featured on the album : Deluxua

46 . Ólafur Arnalds & Talos – A Dawning

Date Added : Jul 20,2025

“A Dawning” emerges from an unexpected 2023 encounter at a Cork festival, where Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds and Irish singer-songwriter Talos (Eoin French) share a residency—and a few ideas.

The project eventually sprawls between Reykjavík and West Cork, shifting in tone as French’s illness deepens; he dies in August 2024.

Arnalds finishes what they began, shaping an eight-track record that folds his neoclassical and ambient habits into Talos’ taste for indie electronics.

Highlights like “Shared Time,” “Signs,” and the title track carry that blend, with every artwork piece drawn by French himself.

Arnalds, better known these days for his Stratus system and ambient turns, started out drumming in hardcore bands—another detail you didn’t see coming.

Music video directed by : Niall O’Brien – Song featured on the album : A Dawning

45 . Joe Bonamassa – Trigger Finger

Date Added : Jul 20,2025

Co-written with Tom Hambridge and produced by Kevin Shirley, “Trigger Finger” leans into a tougher, more muscular blues-rock direction.

Released in July via J&R Adventures, it delivers brisk tempos and jagged grooves stitched with Joe Bonamassa’s sharpened guitar tone and rasping vocals.

The lyrics hint at resilience and personal overhaul, but don’t expect introspection to slow things down.

Sessions stretch from Santorini to Nashville to Los Angeles, giving the track a globetrotting edge that’s more grit than gloss.

Bonamassa cut his teeth publicly in 2000 with “A New Day Yesterday,” which made the Billboard Blues chart’s top 10, and traded licks with Clapton in 2009.

By 2014, “Different Shades of Blue” confirmed his focus on original material, charting across both mainstream and blues rankings.

Song featured on the album : Breakthrough

44 . Counting Crows – With Love, From A-Z

Date Added : Jul 20,2025

“With Love, From A-Z” opens the eighth studio album by Counting Crows with verses that paddle through rain and drift across familiar California routes and far-flung American imagery.

Adam Duritz pens a cross-country postcard of sorts, stringing together messages of distance, memory, and uneasy intimacy, like carving words “on the white of my bones.”

The band, which started making noise from the San Francisco Bay Area in 1991, still lingers in motion, decades after “Mr. Jones” made “August and Everything After” something like a permanent fixture.

Since then, they’ve stacked records like “Recovering the Satellites” and “Somewhere Under Wonderland,” all part of a discography that keeps wandering with purpose—or at least persistence.

Music video directed by : Ehud Lazin – Song featured on the album : Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets

43 . St. Paul & The Broken Bones – Sushi And Coca-Cola

Date Added : Jul 20,2025

Released in July 2025, “Sushi and Coca-Cola” delivers retro soul with a side of funk from St. Paul & The Broken Bones.

Paul Janeway’s voice cuts through with theatrical flair, perched atop a flurry of horns and basslines that don’t rush but definitely don’t linger.

The lyrics toy with excess and pleasure, where raw fish meets fizzy syrup in a wink to modern hedonism wrapped in brass and groove.

42 . Robert Plant – Everybody’s Song

Date Added : Jul 18,2025

Robert Plant returns with “Everybody’s Song,” a cover of the Minnesota indie-rock band Low, reimagined through the filter of his latest collective, Saving Grace.

Recorded over an ambitious stretch from April 2019 to January 2025 in various Cotswolds and Welsh Borders studios, it marks his first solo-branded effort since 2017’s Carry Fire.

Backing vocals and instrumentation come courtesy of Suzi Dian, Oli Jefferson, Tony Kelsey, Matt Worley, and Barney Morse-Brown—names that suggest less a supergroup than a particularly musical dinner party.

Music video directed by : Robert Edridge-Waks – Song featured on the album : Saving Grace

41 . Deftones – My Mind Is A Mountain

Date Added : Jul 18,2025

Released as part of their official output, “My Mind Is A Mountain” arrives courtesy of Deftones, the Sacramento outfit pieced together in 1988 by Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, and Dominic Garcia.

The track follows a catalog that kicks off with 1995’s “Adrenaline” and catches a wider wave with 1997’s “Around the Fur.”

Then comes 2000’s “White Pony,” often the point where critics start claiming things, followed by records like “Deftones” (2003), “Saturday Night Wrist” (2006), “Diamond Eyes” (2010), “Koi No Yokan” (2012), “Gore” (2016), and “Ohms” (2020).

Somewhere between nu metal, rap metal, shoegaze, and someone’s idea of alternative, they’ve managed to move over 10 million albums.

Song featured on the album : Private Music

40 . 38 Special – All I Haven’t Said

Date Added : Jul 18,2025

After a twenty-year break from the studio, 38 Special returns with “All I Haven’t Said,” a lead single that leans into jangling guitars and a certain mid-’60s melodic haze.

Think The Searchers with a Southern accent and that familiar power guitar tone the band never quite let go of.

Don Barnes co-writes with his wife Christine, who chips in the title and a dose of domestic inspiration.

The lineup—Barnes, Bobby Capps, Gary Moffatt, Barry Dunaway, and Jerry Riggs—delivers it with the studied ease of a band two decades removed from radio but not rehearsal.

The video, shot in Nashville, favors storytelling and low-key reflection over reinvention.

Formed in Jacksonville in 1974 by Barnes and Donnie Van Zant, the group hit its commercial stride with *Rockin’ Into the Night* and locked horns with arena rock through tracks co-written with Jim Peterik.

With over 20 million records and 15-plus albums behind them, “All I Haven’t Said” plays like a postcard from a band still finding ways to sign off.

Music video directed by : Nick Spanos – Song featured on the album : Milestone

39 . Hunter Hayes – Wait

Date Added : Jul 18,2025

“WAIT” arrives in July 2025, courtesy of Hunter Hayes, the once-boy wonder turned persistent shape-shifter of country-pop.

He’s still the multi-instrumentalist who opened for Carrie Underwood, landed three Grammy nominations, and watched his 2011 self-titled debut crash the Billboard 200 at No. 7 before going double platinum.

So yes, he’s had bigger songs—see “Wanted” or “Storm Warning”—but clearly patience is still part of the equation.

Music video directed by : Good Game Productions

38 . Jeff Tweedy – One Tiny Flower

Date Added : Jul 18,2025

Opening Jeff Tweedy‘s fifth solo album *Twilight Override*, “One Tiny Flower” shuffles in with hypnotic calm and mantra-grade repetition.

It tells the understated tale of a man undone by a single, misplaced flower—choral voices joining in to mark his fall.

The song, like the rest of the triple album, is recorded and self-produced by Tweedy at The Loft, his Chicago studio.

*Twilight Override* splits into three standalone chapters, each stretching the sonic and thematic fabric further.

Tweedy, born in Belleville, Illinois in 1967, has been through The Plebes, Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, and several solo bends to arrive here, still writing endings that begin at the roots.

Music video directed by : Mark Greenberg – Song featured on the album : Twilight Override

37 . Groundation – Hypnotized

Date Added : Jul 18,2025

Released in July 2025, “Hypnotized” belongs to Groundation‘s album “Candle Burning.”

The track, layered in roots reggae with a sideways nod to dub and ragga, gets a visual counterpart in its music video, which leans into the song’s lulling repetition with carefully timed choreography.

Groundation formed in 1998 at Sonoma State University, where Harrison Stafford, bassist Ryan Newman, and keyboardist Marcus Urani combined reggae rhythms with jazz improvisation tactics.

From early works like “Young Tree” (1999) to the more structured “Hebron Gate” (2003) and the recent “One Rock” (2022), the group continues to mix foundation roots with roundabout detours.

Music video directed by : Martin Harriague

36 . mgk – Vampire Diaries

Date Added : Jul 16,2025

Colson Baker, better known as MGK, offers “Vampire Diaries” as the second single from his upcoming album “Lost Americana,” produced by Travis Barker and set for release in 2025.

Premiering on July 11, the track comes with a video shot in the American Museum of Natural History, directed by Sam Cahill and choreographed by Sean Bankhead.

MGK moves through the exhibits in a clear nod to Michael Jackson’s 1995 MTV Awards appearance—a choice less mysterious than it sounds.

“Lost Americana” follows his Grammy-nominated 2022 album “Mainstream Sellout,” continuing his run of collaborations with Barker and others.

MGK broke through with “Lace Up” and its triple-platinum lead “Wild Boy,” later turning to pop-punk on “Tickets to My Downfall,” a Billboard chart-topper.

To mark “Lost Americana,” he organizes a three-day event in Cleveland, mixing homegrown music, community and art—because that’s one way to launch an album.

Music video directed by : Sam Cahill – Song featured on the album : Lost Americana

35 . Goo Goo Dolls – Nothing Lasts Forever

Date Added : Jul 16,2025

The Goo Goo Dolls return in July 2025 with “Nothing Lasts Forever,” their first release since 2023’s “Beautiful Lie.”

Produced by Grant Michaels and Gregg Wattenberg, the track blends warm synths and emotive vocals to reflect on themes of change and impermanence.

The Los Angeles-shot video strings together glimpses of passing strangers, rooting the song’s message in everyday transience.

Formed in Buffalo in 1985 by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac, the band began life as the Sex Maggots before settling on their less awkwardly named incarnation.

They first broke through with 1995’s A Boy Named Goo and 1998’s Dizzy Up the Girl, home to midtempo mainstays like “Name” and “Iris.”

More recent entries include 2019’s Miracle Pill and 2022’s Chaos in Bloom—because clearly, nothing really lasts forever.

Music video directed by : Kat White

34 . ROLE MODEL – The Longest Goodbye (w/ Laufey)

Date Added : Jul 16,2025

Role Model and Laufey team up for a duet version of “The Longest Goodbye,” where post-breakup malaise is dressed up in acoustic restraint and alternating perspectives.

Crafted over a new arrangement, the track leans into both artists’ vocal strengths—Pillsbury’s indie-country hue meets Laufey’s jazz-pop lilt.

The song—originally a Role Model solo project—gets a live rework in a black-and-white session featuring vintage instruments and a backing band.

This unlikely pairing stems from their shared creative link with producer Spencer Stewart, who apparently knows a good idea when he hears one.

Pillsbury, who launched his career with “Arizona in the Summer” in 2017 and joined Interscope in 2018, tends to orbit themes like mental health and breakups through lo-fi pop lenses.

His past work includes the EPs “oh, how perfect” and “our little angel,” leading up to his 2022 album “Rx”—all of which now have one more song to sit awkwardly next to at the dinner table.

Music video directed by : Neema Sadeghi, – Song featured on the album : Kansas Anymore (The Longest Goodbye)

33 . Sugababes – Shook

Date Added : Jul 16,2025

Released in July 2025, “Shook” arrives as the third independent single from Sugababes this year, following “Jungle” and “Weeds.”

Original lineup Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, and Siobhán Donaghy take writing and performing duties into their own harmonized hands.

Production lands securely in the pop sphere, thanks to Grammy winner Jon Shave and songwriter Anya Jones.

Billed as a “summer party banger,” it’s less beachside bonanza, more tightly-scripted group chemistry on full vocal display.

Since debuting in 2000 with “One Touch,” they’ve notched up six UK number ones, multiple platinum sellers, and a few reinventions for good measure.

Music video directed by : Dora Paphides

32 . The Hives – Legalize Living

Date Added : Jul 16,2025

Released in July 2025, “Legalize Living” is a single from Swedish garage rock band The Hives, produced by Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Mike D of Beastie Boys.

The song tackles modern-day social constraints, voicing a sense of suffocation and discontent with increasingly normalized restrictions.

Formed in 1993 in Fagersta by brothers Per “Howlin’ Pelle” Almqvist and Niklas “Nicholaus Arson” Almqvist with Mikael “Vigilante Carlstroem” Karlsson, Mattias “Dr. Matt Destruction” Bernvall, and Christian “Chris Dangerous” Grahn, the band became active players in the early 2000s garage rock revival.

Prior to this single, their discography includes six studio albums: Barely Legal (1997), Veni Vidi Vicious (2000), Tyrannosaurus Hives (2004), The Black and White Album (2007), Lex Hives (2012), and The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons (2023).

They’re known for their high-energy performances and their commitment to monochrome wardrobe decisions nearly as tight as their riffs.

Music video directed by : Filip Nilsson & Henry Moore Selder – Song featured on the album : The Hives Forever Forever The Hives

31 . Toyah – Latex Messiah (Posh Redux)

Date Added : Jul 16,2025

Released as a digital single in January 2023, “Latex Messiah (Posh Redux)” revisits Toyah’s 2007 track with a few new tricks—Robert Fripp on guitar for starters.

The track is produced by Simon Darlow and issued under Willow Recordings, slipping snugly into the ongoing “Saturday Song” series.

It aligns with the broader “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” project, which has seen other songs put through the “Posh Redux” wringer.

No official word on what’s been changed in this reworked version, but the name does imply fresh paint on old gloss.

In July 2025, the release is bolstered by a new video tagged “Redux 2025”, just in case one layer of redo wasn’t enough.

Toyah Willcox—punk survivor, film actress, and TV face—remains in the mix, shaping old catalog entries into current curios.

Music video directed by : Dean Stockings & Leigh Carter – Song featured on the album : Chameleon – The Very Best Of Toyah

30 . Justin Bieber – Daisies

Date Added : Jul 12,2025

Recorded on May 27, 2023, at Miraval Studios in France, “Daisies” stretches Justin Bieber’s R&B leanings into late-night vulnerability and long-distance marriage blues.

Lyrics like “throwin’ petals like, ‘Do you love me or not?’” don’t try to hide the soft spot cracked open by six years with Hailey and god knows how many weeks apart.

It’s another pivot from the kid who turned YouTube covers into “My World” (2009), then R&B-pop hybrids like “Believe” (2012), “Purpose” (2015), and “Justice” (2021).

He’s sold over 24 million records in the U.S., snagged Grammys, and, in 2023, said goodbye to his back catalog—for about $200 million, courtesy of Hipgnosis.

Song featured on the album : Swag

29 . Evanescence – Fight Like A Girl (w/ K.Flay)

Date Added : Jul 12,2025

Amy Lee pulls the curtain back on “Fight Like A Girl,” a collaboration with K.Flay produced by Tyler Bates for the 2025 “Ballerina” spin-off in the John Wick saga.

Stationed at the end credits, the track revives Evanescence’s affinity for rap-tinged arrangements, a nod to their early 2000s blueprint.

K.Flay steps in with a jagged delivery that syncs with the memory of “Bring Me to Life,” minus the nu-metal melodrama.

The accompanying video doesn’t wander far—dark tones, brooding visuals, and themes of vengeance come factory-standard when your source material is a ballet of assassins.

Lee initiated the piece with female unity in mind, and K.Flay joined not long after, adding an extra edge without crowding the frame.

Evanescence still trades in the mix of metal and symphonic drift that landed albums like “Fallen” and “The Open Door” in platinum territory and netted them Grammy hardware.

Music video directed by : Chad Stahelski

28 . Conan Gray – Vodka Cranberry

Date Added : Jul 12,2025

“Vodka Cranberry” finds Conan Gray waking up emotionally hungover from the kind of long, slow breakup that drags more than slams.

Written by Gray and produced by Dan Nigro, the track lingers on drunk dials and fraying feelings, epitomized by the line “Got way too drunk off a vodka cranberry / Called you up in the middle of the night.”

The song picks at love, detachment, and the way regret sneaks in after last call.

The music video, shot on Kodak 35mm and co-starring Corey Fogelmanis, treads through the ruins of a couple’s together-apart timeline.

As the California-born artist behind “Idle Town,” Gray continues threading youth and fallout through the indie pop and alt-rock styling that shaped “Kid Krow” and “Superache.”

Music video directed by : Danica Kleinknecht – Song featured on the album : Wishbone

27 . Simple Plan – Nothing Changes

Date Added : Jul 12,2025

Released in July 2025, “Nothing Changes” lands as part of Simple Plan’s 38-track soundtrack for their documentary, The Kids In The Crowd.

This song joins a mix of demos and previously unreleased material tied to the band’s quarter-century retrospective film.

The documentary charts their route from high schoolers in Montreal back in 1999 to testing global waters, with stops at MTV Warped Tour and six studio albums in between.

Pierre Bouvier, Chuck Comeau, Jeff Stinco, and Sébastien Lefebvre started the group, with David Desrosiers climbing aboard in 2000.

“Nothing Changes,” like much of their archive, plays both as a memory marker and a reminder that even after 25 years, some patterns remain stubbornly familiar.

Music video directed by : Eric Richards – Song featured on the album : The Kids In The Crowd

26 . Craig David & JoJo – In It With You

Date Added : Jul 12,2025

Released on July 11, 2025, “In It With You” pairs Craig David with JoJo for the fifth single from his ninth studio album.

The track is shaped by producer Mike Brainchild and traces its origin to a mutual exchange over social media.

Trading notes on fame during their teens and recent stints in memoir-writing, the two find common ground somewhere between nostalgia and self-awareness.

The album rounds off with appearances from Tiwa Savage and Louisa Johnson, just in case JoJo wasn’t enough star power.

Born in Southampton in 1981, David first surfaced via Artful Dodger’s “Re-Rewind” in 1999, then topped charts with Born to Do It (2000) and followed up with Slicker Than Your Average (2002).

He made it back into the charts in 2016 with Following My Intuition and boasts over 15 million albums sold worldwide—not that he’s counting.

Music video directed by : Mfb – Song featured on the album : Commitment

25 . Robbie Williams – Desire (w/ Laura Pausini)

Date Added : Jul 12,2025

Robbie Williams teams up with Laura Pausini on “Desire,” the official anthem for FIFA’s 2025 Club World Cup in Miami.

Designed for ceremonial use at FIFA tournaments through 2026, the track blends orchestral flair with stadium-sized pop tropes.

Williams lays down his parts in London, while Pausini records a Spanish-language verse in Milan—geography doing some of the heavy lifting.

The song premieres live at the tournament’s opening ceremony and returns for an encore at MetLife Stadium during the final.

Born in 1974 in Stoke-on-Trent, Williams first surfaces with Take That before unloading solo hits like “Angels” and “Rock DJ.”

He circles back to the boy band for 2010’s Progress and picks up a few Brit Awards and a slot in the UK Music Hall of Fame en route.

24 . Jon Batiste – BIG MONEY

Date Added : Jul 12,2025

Written on guitar in the aftermath of a 2024 Ryman Auditorium performance, “BIG MONEY” lays the groundwork for Jon Batiste’s upcoming project on Verve/Interscope, tracked almost entirely live over two weeks.

Batiste, a Juilliard-schooled ex-Colbert bandleader with an Oscar under his belt, leans into Americana, capitalism, and humanity through a groove-first approach.

Produced by No ID, with cameo roles from Randy Newman and Andra Day, the track plays like a jittery anthem laced with reflection—and a few choice lessons from Batiste’s mom.

Music video directed by : Zite Et Léo – Song featured on the album : Big Money

23 . Tori Kelly & Ed Sheeran – I Was Made For Loving You

Date Added : Jul 7,2025

Tori Kelly and Ed Sheeran revisit “I Was Made for Loving You” with an acoustic duet recorded live in Stuttgart, ten years after the release of Kelly’s debut album “Unbreakable Smile.”

Originally co-written and released on June 23, 2015, the track marked their first collaboration and quickly stood out among the album’s quieter moments.

Kelly, who first self-released “Handmade Songs by Tori Kelly,” later called this song “one of my favorite songs I’ve ever been a part of,” a rare public claim for an artist not known for declarations.

The stripped-down anniversary version swaps studio polish for bare vocals and guitar, putting the emphasis squarely on harmony—and memory.

22 . Arrested Development – Pack It Out

Date Added : Jul 7,2025

In “Pack It Out,” Arrested Development lands in the desert, marching resolutely toward optimism while the world trades in gloom.

The track is largely shaped by Speech and Configa, doubling down on the group’s affinity for boom-bap textures and warm, soulful loops.

The video doesn’t flinch from its message, with Speech front and center, preaching resolve over resignation.

The song sits tight in an album built on creative friction between Speech, Configa, MRK SX, and Ben Marc, with verses shared by 1Love, Tasha LaRae, and Fareedah.

It carries the memory of Kali Tribe’s late Twan Mack, to whom the album is dedicated.

Since forming back in 1988 in Atlanta, Arrested Development’s thing has been Afrocentric, socially conscious hip-hop—which, apparently, they’re still unpacking.

That debut went multi-platinum, but no one’s pretending this is about reruns of past glory.

21 . Guy Sebastian – Get It Done

Date Added : Jul 7,2025

Released in July 2025, “Get It Done” arrives as the sixth single from Guy Sebastian’s tenth studio album, an effort years in the making and recorded in Sydney, Los Angeles, Bali, and Nashville.

Produced by Green and Nagy, the track leans into resilience and persistence, skipping melodrama in favour of keeping calm and carrying on.

Among the album’s 13 tracks are collaborations with Sam Fischer and Riley Biederer—no seismic surprises, but they get the job done.

This comes from a singer who, after winning Australian Idol in 2003, has somehow managed nine top ten albums, six chart-toppers, and a fifth-place finish at Eurovision 2015 with barely a vocal crack.

20 . Jon Batiste – Dusklight Movement

Date Added : Jul 7,2025

Released through Verve and Interscope, “Dusklight Movement” finds Jon Batiste juggling Beethoven and the blues in a single piece.

A Juilliard-trained jazz musician and former Late Show bandleader, Batiste composes, arranges, performs, and produces the track himself—some multitasking involved.

The result sounds like a baroque drawing room bumped into a juke joint, all under Batiste’s quietly watchful ear.

He already holds an Academy Award for Soul, just in case the résumé needed extra punctuation.

19 . Miley Cyrus – Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved (w/ Naomi Campbell)

Date Added : Jul 1,2025

“Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved” resets the synth-pop clock to the 1980s, layering glossy retro grooves beneath lyrics that waver between desire and exposure.

Naomi Campbell cuts in with vocals and visuals, recorded in New York late 2024, straddling the line between surprise cameo and calculated co-sign.

Cyrus spins her genre wheel again, this time landing on pop melancholia, while Campbell adds that cool-factor punctuation familiar from decades of music video cameos.

It’s not quite a duet, not quite a feature, but it’s less about symmetry than about spectacle—two icons doing different things on the same track.

18 . Sarah McLachlan – Better Broken

Date Added : Jul 1,2025

“Better Broken” leads Sarah McLachlan’s 2025 album, her first collection of original songs in over a decade.

The track shifts production duties from longtime collaborator Pierre Marchand to Tony Berg and Will Maclellan, a change that’s hard to ignore.

It sticks to her introspective leanings, which by now are less a phase than a fixture.

McLachlan, who gave us “Surfacing” and “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy,” still wears the dual hat of Grammy and Juno winner—and, lest we forget, founded Lilith Fair.

Whether this is evolution or just a new coat of paint is up for grabs.

17 . Blake Shelton – Stay Country Or Die Tryin’

Date Added : Jul 1,2025

Released in May 2025 as the second single from “For Recreational Use Only,” “Stay Country or Die Tryin’” goes full throttle on rural pride, family legacy, and flag-waving grit.

The track tips its hat to Shelton’s early catalogue, back when boots, barns, and straight talk were still in heavy rotation.

After 30 No. 1 singles and over two decades in, Shelton still aims for the back porch, not the boardroom.

“Stay Country or Die Tryin’” doesn’t so much evolve as circle back—ironically or sincerely, take your pick.

16 . The Roots – Get Busy

Date Added : Jul 1,2025

“Get Busy” shows The Roots doing what they’ve been doing since 1987: threading complex rhymes through live, no-sample instrumentals like they’re allergic to drum machines.

Led by drummer Questlove and rapper Black Thought, this Philadelphia crew would rather sweat on stage than hide behind a laptop.

It’s a track that sits comfortably next to “The Seed (2.0)” and “Don’t Feel Right,” without pretending to be anyone’s anthem.

With twelve studio albums and a Grammy or two under their belt, they now moonlight as the house band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon—because selling out means something different when you come with a tuba.

15 . Lewis Capaldi – Survive

Date Added : Jun 28,2025

Fresh off a two-year break for mental and physical health, Lewis Capaldi surfaces with “Survive,” written and produced alongside RØMANS, the same collaborator behind “Someone You Loved.”

The track deals with the uneasiness that came with Capaldi’s rapid rise, culminating in his Glastonbury 2023 set, where he lost his voice mid-performance and let the crowd carry him home.

He premiered the song at Scottish warm-up shows supporting mental health charity CALM, syncing its release with Mental Health Awareness Week.

The accompanying video mirrors the raw, documentary style of the song itself—less music industry polish, more “this is where I’ve been.”

Born in 1996, Capaldi topped UK and US charts, scooped two 2020 Brit Awards, and had the UK’s best-selling debut album in both 2019 and 2020.

14 . Burna Boy – Don’t Let Me Drown

Date Added : Jun 28,2025

Burna Boy releases “Don’t Let Me Drown” on June 27, 2025, joining the roster of “F1® The Album,” a 17-track lineup put together for “F1® The Movie.”

Backed by Kooldrink’s production, he sticks to his Afrobeats-meets-pop script, steering the track through a sleek, international lane.

The official video gets a live rollout at the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX 2025—because apparently Burna doesn’t do low-key.

Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, more likely to sell out stadiums in New York, London, and Paris than miss a beat, continues his world tour via soundtrack credits.

13 . Maroon 5 – All Night

Date Added : Jun 28,2025

Released on June 23, 2025, “All Night” lands as the second single off Maroon 5’s eighth studio album, “Love Is Like.”

Produced by Sam Farrar, Jonny Coffer (aka Vindver), JKash, and Noah Passovoy, the song wades through the turbulent waters of complex love, heartbreak, and not-quite-final goodbyes.

Adam Levine handles vocals and, somewhat unexpectedly, drums, while Jesse Carmichael and James Valentine juggle guitars and percussion.

Matt Flynn adds more drums, PJ Morton keeps the keyboards honest, and Sam Farrar fills in on bass, keyboards, percussion, and programming—like a one-man rhythm department.

Maroon 5, active since 2001 (back when they went by Kara’s Flowers), has by 2025 amassed eight studio albums and three Grammy Awards.

They also hold the not-small distinction of most number ones on both the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay charts.

12 . Hunter Hayes – Around The Sun

Date Added : Jun 28,2025

On “Around The Sun,” Hunter Hayes handles nearly everything himself—vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, percussion, synthesizer, and even background vocals, because why not.

Released in May 2025, the track is co-produced and edited with Alex Flagstad, with drummer Nir Z lending a few well-placed hits to the mix.

Hayes, the Louisiana-born, double-platinum debut artist with five Grammy nominations and over 50 others scattered across genres, seems intent on proving he’s not short on studio gear or ambition.

11 . Token & Ren – What Does Your Love Look Like?

Date Added : Jun 28,2025

Released in June 2025 on the Never Too Different label, “What Does Your Love Look Like?” pairs Massachusetts rapper Token with Welsh singer-songwriter Ren.

The track circles around themes of love, trust, and leftover scars from childhood, with each artist offering stripped-down verses well outside the self-help aisle.

Ren, once a member of Trick the Fox and The Big Push, reemerged after a serious illness to self-release projects like “Freckled Angels” (2016) and “Sick Boi” (2023).

Token, who debuted in 2018 with “Between Somewhere,” keeps one foot in rap fireworks while stepping into more emotional territory here.

10 . Sam Fender – Rein Me In (w/ Olivia Dean)

Date Added : Jun 27,2025

“Rein Me In” has Sam Fender trading verses with Olivia Dean over a backdrop that leans into indie rock warmth and offbeat ska-inflected rhythms.

The track circles around the post-breakup recalibration phase—less heartbreak, more self-revision, with a raised eyebrow and half a smile.

Olivia Dean steps in fresh from a 2025 feature on Lola Young’s “Not Like That Anymore,” a June release that treads similar thematic waters with its own blend of candid lyrics and rhythmic switch-ups.

Young, a South Londoner and alumni of the BRIT School, has previously released EPs like Intro and After Midnight and popped up in Rising Star shortlists for both the BRITs and Ivor Novello Awards.

9 . Lola Young – Not Like That Anymore

Date Added : Jun 27,2025

“Not Like That Anymore” pokes at nostalgia with a dry glare, shedding illusions without breaking a sweat.

Lola Young delivers clipped vocals over pared-down production, keeping the emotional stakes low and the tone matter-of-fact.

The track moves away from messier declarations in favor of steely detachment, a shift captured through sharp phrasing and minimal ornament.

Any prior sentiment gets filed under ‘then,’ where it stays.

8 . The Offspring – Come To Brazil

Date Added : Jun 27,2025

“Come To Brazil” shares its name with the perennial internet plea, but that’s about where the joke ends.

The Offspring deliver a short burst of punk loaded with irony and mild exasperation, poking at fan demands through their staple high-energy riffs and snappy delivery.

Clocking in under two minutes, the track feels more like a shrug in musical form than a full-fledged anthem, and maybe that’s the point.

It lands amid the band’s 2024 output, not so much a highlight reel as a curious footnote wrapped in distortion and crowd noise.

7 . Thom Yorke – Dialing In

Date Added : Jun 27,2025

“Dialing In” lands in April 2025, lodged halfway between Bon Iver’s folk roots and a growing taste for abstract electronics.

Filed under Sable, Fable, the track continues Justin Vernon’s push toward layered textures and synth-laced ambiguity.

What started in 2006 in a Wisconsin cabin now hums with circuitry and less front-porch guitar picking.

The project’s name, borrowed from a mistranslated French winter wish, still lingers in titles even as the sound detours ever farther from firewood and frost.

No awards, collabs, or radio moments stick to this single, though the band’s past Grammy hardware suggests someone, somewhere, once approved.

6 . Bon Iver – From

Date Added : Jun 27,2025

“From” arrives in April 2025 via Bon Iver’s last album , marking yet another chapter in Justin Vernon’s shifting musical vocabulary.

The sound leans further from the project’s acoustic origins into a terrain shaped by electronics and abstraction, with enough texture to fill a Wisconsin winter and then some.

Recorded long after the cabin days of “For Emma, Forever Ago”, the track bears the imprint of a band that rarely stays put, personnel included.

The project’s name still traces back to a French misheard greeting on Northern Exposure—fitting for a group drawn to the quiet misdirection of language and tone.

No chart placements, award trails, or high-profile collaborations cling to this release, though Bon Iver’s trophy shelf holds multiple Grammys where they count.

5 . Good Charlotte – Rejects

Date Added : Jun 27,2025

Released on June 25, 2025, “Rejects” marks Good Charlotte’s return after a five-year silence, now signed to Atlantic Records and gearing up with an eighth album.

The track, produced by Zakk Cervini, traces back to a 2023 private show at Hotel du Cap in France, a moment the band credits with rekindling their creative spark.

The video mixes live action with claymation, charting a character’s passage through life’s familiar rites.

Formed in 1996 by Joel and Benji Madden, the group emerged from Maryland suburbia into early-2000s pop-punk rotation with “The Young and the Hopeless” and its breakout cut “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous.”

4 . Wet Leg – Davina Mccall

Date Added : Jun 25,2025

Released in June 2025, “Davina McCall” lifts its title from the British TV presenter and flips it into a declaration of romantic dedication.

Rhian Teasdale writes the song in the first blush of a new relationship, pledging loyalty with the chorus: “I’ll be your Davina / I’m coming to get you / Fetch you from the station / Never gonna let you go.”

The track begins in jam sessions between guitarist Hester Chambers and Ellis Durand, with Teasdale’s lyrics rounding it off.

A Shakira nod slips into the lyrics, just in case you needed a curveball.

The video, animated in stop-motion, turns the band into clay versions of themselves setting off on an oddball road trip.

Formed in 2019 by Teasdale and Chambers on the Isle of Wight, Wet Leg wins Grammys and Brits for their debut, which tops UK and Australian charts.

3 . Akon & Sheesh – Ghetto Livin

Date Added : Jun 25,2025

Akon joins forces with Sheesh for “Ghetto Livin”, a 2025 cut released on the Konvict Kulture label.

Akon, the Senegalese-American singer, songwriter, and producer behind 2004’s breakthrough album Trouble, dips back into the grit with a collaborator who shares the mic and the credits.

The track lands somewhere between commentary and bounce, with enough polish to remind you who’s in the studio, and enough rough edges to say they didn’t forget where they started.

2 . Cynthia Erivo – Holy Refrain

Date Added : Jun 25,2025

Cynthia Erivo leans into gospel for “Holy Refrain,” a 2025 hymn to love rendered with a choir’s pulse and a preacher’s flair.

Romantic longing finds its metaphorical altar in lines like “If love was religion, you’d be the Bible,” which sounds like seduction disguised as Sunday service.

Erivo, a British performer with Grammy, Tony, and Emmy trophies and three Oscar nods, slips easily from Broadway to the booth—”Harriet” to “Wicked” and now this psalm with benefits.

1 . Kae Tempest – Diagnoses

Date Added : Jun 25,2025

“Diagnoses” opens with a Jung sample on perception, before Kae Tempest dives headfirst into neurodiversity, trauma, dysphoria, dyspraxia, and the mild joys of a panic attack.

Nothing ornamental—just raw, autobiographical verses that turn shared mental health struggles into a sort-of summer anthem, if soundtrack-shopping for emotional truth is your thing.

Fraser T Smith teams up with Tom Rowlands on production, their fingerprints audible but not overbearing.

Released via Island Records in June 2025, it’s brittle, bracing, and oddly generous—even when it stings.

Kae Tempest, never one for lanes, stretches their catalogue once more, confirming that poetry, theatre, and music are all fair game—all at once, even.
