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.

Robyn, “Sexistential”

Robyn had a kid at 43 via IVF and wrote a sexy, existential club banger about the experience. The song’s genius clicks when you hear the Swedish icon exhale like she’s experiencing an orgasm: “I want to go out and push.” —Steffanee Wang

Arlo Parks, “2SIDED”

Over the two years, Arlo Parks found a second home in the sweaty dance floors of New York City, according to a press release. You can hear that newfound sense of identity on her new single “2SIDED,” where she sounds her most confident yet. — SW

Choker, "“Proof”

The Detroit-born singer made waves in the late 2010s for his compositionally shifty, dreamy works of R&B. Then he went away for over 6 years. His return single, “Proof”, is deliciously hooky and filled with a fitting urgency. — Tobias Hess

Xiu Xiu, “Dancing On My Own”

Xiu Xiu’s latest release from their forthcoming cover compilation sounds like it was recorded in the dark. On it, they strip and sell the component parts of Robyn’s Platonic “crying in the club” anthem, "Dancing On My Own," transforming it into something that is both hollow and filled with feeling. — TH

Igwe Aka featuring Tochi Bedford, “KAPOW”

The Nigerian underground is rising up and Igwe Aka is bringing “Igbo trap” to the spotlight. The beat for “KAPOW” is packed with pockets crafted for Aka to flex over. He calls n*ggas out for being sweet on h*es, and mixes in Nigerian slang while standing ten toes down against any and all fakeness. It makes sense why the internet begged for the full song after its snippet went viral on TikTok. — Kylah Williams

SAULT, “Fulfil Your Spirit”

"Fulfill Your Spirit" showcases what anonymous British R&B group SAULT does best. On it, captivating vocals deliver spiritual lyrics over disco-inflected strings and a killer bassline. The result is a track that makes you both dance and feel. -Hajin Yoo

Lil Tony, "Westside Baby (ATL CHASERS)"

Atlanta rapper Lil Tony kicked off 2026 with a romantic full-length album smooth enough to play on date night, Mrs. Key. As good as he sounds over plush jazz, I’ve been rewinding “Westside Baby (ATL CHASERS)” even more, where Tony swaggers across an insistent organ riff. —Vivian Medithi

Lil2Posh, “Posh Sound”

Chicago’s flashiest up-and-coming rapper is back with another effervescent Auto-Tune ditty. “Posh Sound” is a little more relaxed than last year’s Fiesta Boy, and Posh’s flow is accordingly languid, but never quite static. “I feel the most myself when I’m getting dressed,” he grins near the song’s end. “And I’ma fuckin ball harder than the fuckin rest.”—VM
