“Oblivion” - Ste Kelly
Ste Kelly is back, and this time he’s hitting where it really counts—with a song and video that manage to feel both deeply personal and entirely collective.

“Livin' it Up” - Audra Watt
Nashville’s Audra Watt is stepping into her boldest chapter yet, and her latest single “Livin’ It Up” feels like the spark that lit the fuse. Co-written with LA-based songwriter Jeffrey East, the track doesn’t just carry Audra’s signature warmth and storytelling—it’s the sound of an artist finally breaking the mold she thought she was stuck in.
“evil” - SUUNCAAT
Montreal’s underground has been simmering with strange, dark energy, and with “evil”, SUUNCAAT has cracked it wide open. This single doesn’t just play—it strikes, cuts, and convicts.

“Borderline: Chaos at the Border” - Patrick Costello
Some songs don’t just land in your headphones—they slam down like a gauntlet. Borderline: Chaos at the Border, originally released in 2021 and now re-released in 2024, is exactly that: a razor-sharp protest anthem that refuses to be forgotten, refuses to soften, and refuses to let anyone look away from the brutality that’s still unfolding on the US–Mexico border.
“Persona Non Grata” - Bones in Butter
Every once in a while, a band drops a track that doesn’t just nod to its influences—it reanimates them, giving the past a pulse in the present. That’s exactly what Bones in Butter, the Belgrade-based alt-rock collective, has done with “Persona Non Grata.” Released May 24, 2024, via Swedish indie powerhouse Rexius Records, the single is lifted from their conceptual album COSMOPOLIS, and it plays like a slice of post-punk theatre set against the raw realities of modern Serbia.
“Tu Locura” - BLiTz Sk
When an artist manages to make history with their first release in a new lane, you know they’re onto something bigger than just a single. That’s exactly what Lukas Buga, better known as BLiTz Sk, has pulled off with “Tu Locura”—dropped August 30, 2025. On the surface, it’s a slick banger, but under the hood it’s a cultural collision that feels both daring and overdue: the first Lithuanian rapper to fully fuse Baltic rap with Spanish trap.
“Better Than Gold” - Ooberfuse Ft. Tugista

“Game Fit” - 9 o'clock Nasty
If you’ve ever wondered what it would sound like if a survival manual morphed into a punk anthem, 9 o’clock Nasty just handed you the answer.

“Dream of Peace” - Kelsie Kimberlin
Kelsie Kimberlin doesn’t just release singles—she launches statements.

Kimberlin, an American-Ukrainian pop artist with a growing reputation for bold, cinematic work, has delivered her most powerful project to date: a prayer, a protest, and a piece of art all rolled into one.
“Talk” - Aleksandra Picariello
Aleksandra “Allie” Picariello’s new single “Talk” is the kind of track that makes you stop mid-scroll and actually listen. It’s not background music—it’s a full-body, cinematic indie-pop swoon that feels like it belongs in the closing credits of a film you’ll never forget.
