Each week, The FADER staff rounds up the songs we can't get enough of. Here they are, in no particular order. Listen on our Spotify and Apple Music playlists, or hear them all below.
A. G. Cook, "Dread"
Charli xcx is marketing the The Moment as a more twisted version of how her brat come-up could've played out. A. G. Cook, who's handling the film's music, strikes that chord perfectly on "Dread," an eerie yet emotive cut that remixes flashes of the pop star's old songs. —Steffanee Wang
Amindi, "Playground"
Lifelong Angeleno Amindi recently became a New Yorker. The move has brought new sounds and feelings to the singer-songwriter that she’s captured on me rn, a “living playlist” she’s releasing before her forthcoming debut album. Standout track “Playground” sounds like a musical whirlawheel, a cyclical spin through the sometimes somber, always moving realities of living out the daily grind. —Tobias Hess
Chris Patrick, "Patience"
Chris Patrick has been bubbling under the surface of underground rap and is ready to pounce. On "Patience," he paints a visual of what this delayed pop-off feels like — insecurities, doubts, and the contemplation of quitting. He channels his patience while delivering his best work yet, a reminder that perseverance is the point. —Kylah Williams
Judeline, DELLAFUENTE, "tiempo pasa"
Are you up to date on Spain's extremely cool pop scene? Start with Judeline’s “tiempo pasa,” a sexy spin on bossa nova and flamenco, executed not with the academic studiousness as Rosalía’s early work but rather a heavy dose of experimental fun. —SW
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ, "Oh, What A Feeling"
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ has released an album every year for the last 7 years. Her 2025 record, Fantasy is 40 songs of sparkling pop and house, distilled the clearest on “Oh, What A Feeling,” which sounds, simultaneously, like bubbles, twirling women in period commercials, and utter euphoric delirium. My tip: Press play when the clock strikes midnight!!! —SW
Draag, "Miracle Drug"
Los Angeles shoegaze quintet Draag are making psychedelic, brain-tickling music that shiftily weaves between screams and dreams. Their latest, “Miracle Drug”, the title track off a forthcoming EP, is a series of ever-cresting peaks and sharp left hooks: surprising, ethereal, unsettling and still, somehow, cathartic. —TH
Sade Olutola, "Ready 4 it"
Sade Olutola is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter and rapper from South London who releases her music exclusively on Tumblr, a choice that anchors her entire visual identity. "Ready 4 it" feels like a senior skip day with friends captured on a VHS camera — comforting and carefree — while calling out a boy who’s done her wrong. It’s cozy, catchy, genuinely felt, and best listened to with wired headphones. —KW
