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.

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.  By: Val Hernández
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.

Some songs demand to be heard at full blast, in very specific places. For Eva Pagán’s latest single, 'Til I Die', the ideal spot might be somewhere underwater — literally. The singer calls it the ideal soundtrack for a glass-walled restaurant under the sea — but swapping the dining tables for a packed club dancefloor and you’re closer to the truth. This short, shimmering bit of electropop flips an everyday moment — a train ride through New York City — into a fleeting, hypnotic swirl of bass, layered vocals and feelings you can’t quite pin down.

If You Love Lyricism Then You Need to Hear Alyson Mary's single 'Overthinking Overthinking'6/7/2025  By Devinney Rexrode
Alyson Mary is a singer/songwriter from DFW, Texas whose music takes on an indie sound and i s heavy on lyricism. Her voice and the acoustic guitar harmonize well throughout all her songs. She just dropped her debut EP ‘Polished ( And Unpolished) To Perfection' and I highly recommend it. But I want to highlight the first song I got my ears on of her’s and one that comes with a theme that we can all relate to. So, without further ado here’s a review of the single ‘ Overthinking Overthinking’ by Alyson Mary from her new EP.  By Val Hernández
TikTok might’ve spoiled most of ‘Soprano’ before it even dropped, but honestly? No complaints here. If anything, the full version of Molly Grace’s new single confirms what fans have suspected since ‘Heaven Sent’: this woman was made for pop stardom.  By Devinney Rexrode
Are you looking for that early 2000’s softcore emo sound, blended with alternative rock, Midwest emo, and a touch of that grunge vibe from the same era? Well, I have just the band for you! Johnnyrook, a band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, formed in the early 2000’s and has carried that sound with them all the way into 2025 - and we are loving it!

Later this year, they'll also be dropping an all-new EP. |
