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.

Doechii’s unbeatable pen and fearless emotional range are what's allowed her to thrive in an industry that's never made it easy for dark-skinned women. Reuniting after their “Persuasive (Remix)” link-up, Doechii and SZA deliver a track that flips off misogyny and hate outright. The Swamp Princess refuses to shrink — and promises a new album on the way. —Kylah Williams

"It’s a horrorland. Destruction. Don’t give up on being sweet," sing-recites Dry Cleaning's Florence Shaw over squiggly guitar. A cozy, much-needed reminder at the top of a new year. —Steffanee Wang

It's Vayda's year. After making our top 50 albums of 2025 list, she turned around and dropped another project two days after Christmas. On "Don't Lose The Groove," she makes hard, unapologetic declarations about her pussy, all while floating effortlessly over a top-tier beat. —KW

Brooklyn dancefloor mainstay DJ Miss Parker teamed up with certified icon Mr. Cakes (AKA Cakes Da Killa) for this new year reset that’s heavy on the flaunts and transcendence. It's perfect for a floating reprieve in the middle of a late-night mix or as a motivational pre-game before you brave the chaotic city. —Tobias Hess

Noise and techno thrash together in this staticky single from noise-rock quartet Mandy, Indiana’s upcoming album, URGH. It’s a lullaby from a rusted, post-industrial nightmare-scape. —TH

Japanese producer/rapper Yvnlazy flips an oft-maligned Carti loosie on this bilingual, stepteam-inspired song. Over a beat that stops, starts, sputters, and twitches with abandon, ivvys complains about clones biting his crew’s sound. —Vivian Medithi

Dark plugg meets Milwaukee lowend meets In Rainbows meets anti-homophobia PSA meets brat-derived music video shouldn’t work. But it does, thanks in no small part to Slimepayn’s incongruous vulnerability on “Love,” a vision for bandgetters of all genders and orientations. —VM

Bandmates and married couple Carrie and Matt Wagner produce sweet bits of synth pop and shoegaze as Silver Liz. Their new single, “Trixie’s Crying,” is quietly danceable, defined by pulsing synth chords and Carrie’s sugar-sweet vocal melodies. —TH

Norwegian producer Sassy 009 sketches out a song for yearning while living in a bleary, digital-dominated world. —SW

In Jill Scott’s first single off her upcoming album, “Beautiful People” transforms the eponymous house standard into her trademark, ooey gooey Philadelphia sound. Her candid lyrics —“our love ain't a glitzy valentine or myth…our love is real" — and powerful belt make the listening experience teeter on the spiritual. —Hajin Yoo

As soon as the drums hit on this song, I’m flooded with Lonny Breaux memories. I’m not much of a “this artist sounds like this artist” kind of girl, but I can’t help but be transported back to "Swim Good." Maybe it’s the never-ending kick of the drums paired with Scotty Apex’s distorted, transcendent voice — either way, I’m tuned in. —KW
