Love songs often get stuck on the butterflies. The dizzy spark of a first kiss, the adrenaline of “forever and always,” the cinematic swell of strings when everything is still brand new. Colombian singer Laura Kalop takes a different route on her latest single '6 Vidas.' This isn’t about falling in love — it’s about choosing to stay in it. Again, and again, and again.

There are some songs that you come across in your life that you know will have a forever impact on you. The raw truth of the lyrics flushes over you with every single listen, and you can just feel exactly what the artist is feeling. ‘Mascara Tears’ by Asha Banks is one of those life-altering songs. With just one listen, Banks invites you into her world of introspective brooding, and absolutely visceral sentiments.  By Val Hernández
Love songs are rare in Joshua Bassett’s catalogue, which makes ‘Blue’ feel like a milestone. For the first time in a while, Bassett sounds like someone who’s in love and actually letting himself enjoy it. No heartbreak, no veiled sadness — just a dreamy, soft track that captures the thrill of new joy.

Let’s get one thing clear: Bite Me, Reneé Rapp’s sophomore album, is not here to be polite, linear, or tame. It’s bold, messy, cheeky, gut-wrenching — and yes, deeply queer. From its opener Leave Me Alone (reviewed previously) to its final punches of heartbreak and high notes, Reneé gives us a project full of sharp turns, late-night spirals, petty thoughts, big feelings, and even bigger vocals. Whether you’re sobbing into a pillow or dancing half-naked in your room, Bite Me has a track for it. Sometimes both at once. In a word? It’s chaos. Glorious, lesbian lighting-style chaos.

We’ve waited for ‘The Subway’ for what feels like forever. A live-only fan favourite turned myth, Chappell Roan once swore she’d never release it — which made the arrival of the studio version feel like a sacred moment in the pop timeline. Some fans memorised the performances by heart; others (like me) avoided the live versions entirely, saving a moment that may never come. Now that it’s here, one thing is clear: ‘The Subway’ is a modern breakup classic. Heartbreaking, cinematic, and queer in the most honest way — this isn’t just a song; it’s an emotional collapse in 4 minutes and 12 seconds.

In just under two minutes, Bad Bunny’s latest track ‘ALAMBRE PúA’ is short, suggestive, and — in my very humble opinion — one of his more forgettable singles. If you’re into his flirtier, late-night playlist material, you might have fun with it. But if, like me, you prefer when Benito dives into more emotional or political territory, this one probably won’t hit.  Cover art by Mae Rivas By Val Hernández
Some songs are made to entertain, others to inspire. But ‘Desapareciste’, the haunting new track by Colombian artist Isabella Ruiz, exists to grieve — and to make you grieve with it. Across just under five minutes, Ruiz delivers one of the most emotionally charged ballads in recent memory, using her voice not just as an instrument, but as a vessel of collective pain. By Isabella González Sánchez  After four years of silence, SWAG adopts a more introspective, deep, and personal tone. It offers a more mature perspective on Justin Bieber’s life, addressing themes such as mental health, media pressure, and his new role as a father and husband. This new chapter in his personal life brings an artistic and emotional shift in his career, moving slightly away from the commercial pop we were once used to hearing. Rather than seeking public approval, he now seems more focused on being authentic.
