“A Countenance in Involution” - I Forget Myself
Every few years, an artist manages to reinvent their sound without losing the essence that makes their music matter. In 2025, that artist is I Forget Myself. With the release of his eighth full-length album, A Countenance in Involution, the critically acclaimed alternative rock force delivers a sweeping, cinematic exploration of emotional complexity, identity, and the raw tension between reflection and transformation.
“The Good Part” - Sloan Treacy
There’s something uniquely thrilling about watching a young artist come into their own — and at just 16 years old, Sloan Treacy is already doing that with striking emotional clarity and a confidence that feels far beyond her years. With her latest single, “The Good Part,” the emerging singer-songwriter pulls no punches as she captures the aching space between hope and heartbreak — and makes you feel every second of it.
“Some Strange” - Trashy Annie
Trashy Annie’s new single “Some Strange” is not here to make you feel cozy. It’s not a tender love song. It’s not a radio-polished, autotuned earworm. What it is, however, is a whiskey-drenched, leather-studded gut-punch of a rock anthem that smells like gasoline, heartbreak, and last night’s cigarettes — in the best way possible.
“Morning Star” - KB-S
Minneapolis-based producer KB-S isn’t interested in making noise for noise’s sake — he’s sculpting emotion. His latest release, the evocatively titled “Morning Star”, dropped on June 13, 2025, and it’s a vivid reminder that instrumental music doesn’t need words to say a lot. Clocking in as both an introspective meditation and a slow-burning sonic fever dream, this single solidifies KB-S as one of the more quietly magnetic voices in downtempo hip-hop and ambient trap.
“Breaking the Ice” - Jon Gold
Breaking The Ice, the new release from pianist and composer Jon Gold (dropped on June 1st, 2025, via Entropic Records), is not your average jazz single — and that’s exactly why it’s so damn good.
Gold has long been a musical shape-shifter, unafraid to dive into the deep end of complex rhythm, global textures, and unconventional arrangements. But with Breaking The Ice, he’s taken things to a whole new level — emotionally, technically, and culturally. This is a song that doesn’t sit still, and honestly, why should it? Life doesn’t either. And Gold, more than ever, sounds like an artist not chasing perfection, but chasing truth. One echo at a time.
“Light and Low” - Lovina Falls
There’s something gloriously backwards about how Valerie Forgione writes music — and that’s exactly what makes “Light and Low”, the newest single from her project Lovina Falls, so arresting. Released on June 13, 2025, this lush, surreal soundscape glides in like a dream, lingers like a memory, and pushes you gently forward like a whisper from the future. The message? The world might be in shambles, but you can still move, still dance, still feel something. Maybe even joy.
“Life’s Little Tragedies” - Natasha
Every now and then, a song comes along that feels less like a product and more like a warm conversation with a friend. Natasha’s new single, “Life’s Little Tragedies” — dropped on May 29th, 2025 — is exactly that kind of tune. A bittersweet blend of folk, jazz, and cozy acoustic pop, the track captures the ache of heartbreak with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. You’re going to feel this one in your chest — and you might even laugh while you do.
“Let It Go” - TWOFEW
If you’ve ever cranked up your stereo just to drown out your own thoughts, TWOFEW’s latest single “Let It Go” is the kind of track that doesn’t just fill a room—it owns it. Released June 3, 2025, this Phoenix-based four-piece is crashing through the noise of formulaic radio rock with something real: a gritty, emotional anthem that throws punches and then hugs you mid-fall.
“All I Ever Wanted” - Gary Mictian
If you’ve ever had your heart stomped on, buried it under a pile of distractions, and thought you were over it — then Gary Mictian’s new single “All I Ever Wanted” is going to hit hard.
Released on June 13, 2025, this track marks the beginning of a new era for the London-based hyperpop/electronic artist and producer, and it’s both an emotional gut punch and an electro-pop daydream. It’s the first in a series of singles we can expect from Gary this year, and if this is the opening statement, we’re in for one hell of a ride.
“Bestial” - Senior Dunce
Senior Dunce is back and bolder than ever with his latest single Bestial, and this time, he’s brought along a couple of familiar voices to help him light the fuse. Featuring California-based powerhouse vocalist Cheshy and returning collaborator Gimpado as a sub-vocalist, Bestial is a thumping, funky house dance track that dives deep beneath the skin — not just into the groove, but into the very core of human nature.
“What Remains” - Milyssa Rose
Some songs don’t just play through your speakers—they echo inside you. “What Remains” is one of those tracks. A raw, emotionally packed offering from powerhouse vocalist Milyssa Rose and boundary-pushing producer Tharealmdc, this alt/dark pop anthem digs deep into the labyrinth of mental health, leaving nothing on the surface.
Couple(t)s - Couldn't Be Happiers
There’s something instantly charming — and deceptively complex — about Couple(t)s, the sophomore album by North Carolina folk-rock duo Couldn’t Be Happiers. On first listen, it’s easy to get swept up in the earworm harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and the sheer likability of the married couple at the heart of it all: Jodi Hildebran Lee and Jordan Crosby Lee. But spend a little more time with this 12-track record, and you’ll find a rich, poetic tapestry that digs deep into protest, folklore, and love — the three pillars that hold this project up.
