“Tears Fall Like The Rain” - VANNGO
VANNGO is on a roll this year. With “Tears Fall Like the Rain,” his sixth release of 2025, the LA-based indie artist doubles down on what makes him so compelling: unguarded honesty, aching vocals, and songwriting that feels like it’s lived-in rather than imagined. If you’ve been following his steady output, this one lands as a particularly vulnerable moment.
“Gotta Be You” - SJBHQ
London based producer and drummer, SJBHQ, is making waves with his debut single “Gotta Be You”. From the first beat, it’s clear this isn’t just another club track—SJBHQ is chasing something bigger, a sound that’s rhythmically sharp but emotionally layered.
“Shipwrecked” - Red Skies Dawning
“Shipwrecked” is the kind of debut single that doesn’t just introduce a band—it detonates their arrival. Red Skies Dawning, the heavier, modern rock rebirth of Chris Aleshire’s Red Skies Mourning project, wastes no time in laying down their mission statement: hard-hitting riffs, cinematic production, and lyrics that stare heartbreak, collapse, and rebirth square in the eye.
“Right Beside You (Acoustic)” - Sophie B. Hawkins
“Right Beside You (Acoustic)” is Sophie B. Hawkins doing what only the greats can do: taking a song that was already iconic and reimagining it with such honesty and intimacy that it feels brand new. Three decades after Whaler first crashed into the world with its bold mix of vulnerability and pop bravado, Hawkins has returned to one of its crown jewels—not with nostalgia, but with reinvention.
“Diss Qualification” - Antoin Gibson
“Diss Qualification” is Antoin Gibson at their most unfiltered — sharp, incendiary, and armed with bars that cut through hypocrisy like a hot knife. Dropped on October 1st, the track doesn’t just add to Gibson’s discography, it throws down a gauntlet.
“Tik Tok” - Oliver Sullivan Ft. Scarlett
Swiss producer Oliver Sullivan isn’t wasting a second in proving he belongs on the global EDM stage. His latest single, “Tik Tok” (Ft. Scarlett), makes that loud and clear.
“Stardust Bear Bazaar, Pt. 1” - New Laconia
With “Stardust Bear Bazaar,” Ukrainian project New Laconia doesn’t just drop a single — they throw open the door to an entire music-driven multiverse. Forget the usual “track + video” formula; this is a fully-fledged story world where the music is just as much narrative fuel as it is sonic pleasure.
“Fall Behind” - The Shrubs
The Shrubs — Houston’s sibling duo Josh and Miguel alongside their longtime friend Sophie — have always thrived on blending personality with craft, and their new single “Fall Behind” feels like the payoff of years spent chiseling away at a song until it shines.
“Redevelop Our Souls” - Dryadic
Dryadic’s latest single, “Redevelop Our Souls,” is a folk-rock anthem that doesn’t just ask to be heard — it demands to be lived in. The track has been simmering in their live sets for almost a decade, a communal firestarter and rallying cry that has finally made its way into the studio.
“In My Head” - Talkline
Talkline, the Essex-and-London-based outfit led by vocalist Amy Hollingsworth and pianist Will Hobson, have been slowly building a sound that lives at the intersection of indie pop, jazz, and minimalism — a kind of thoughtful but playful blend that feels as conversational as it does musical. With their latest single In My Head, they’ve managed to bottle up the spiraling chaos of an inner monologue and turn it into something both relatable and sonically captivating.
“Medicine” - Siren Section
After two decades of experimenting at the edges of sound, Los Angeles-based duo SIREN SECTION (James Cumberland and John Dowling) have distilled their craft into something both unsettling and strangely comforting. Their new single Medicine is a prime example of the genre-bending world they’ve built — a place they’ve dubbed glitchgaze, where shoegaze’s wall of sound collides with electronic abstraction and raw experimental rock.
“Mary's Blessing” - Karen Salicath Jamali
Karen Salicath Jamali isn’t your typical pianist. In fact, her whole story reads like something out of a novel: a near-death experience in 2012, three years of recovery, and then suddenly — as if a door to another dimension had been cracked open — she began composing music in her dreams. Fast-forward to today, and she’s got eight albums, over 2,500 compositions, and multiple Carnegie Hall performances under her belt.
