Our favorite New York City EDM wunderkinds teamed up with our favorite Australian electronic dreamer for this flare-gun-and-confetti rework of Frost Children's 2025 album title track, "Sister." Both the OG and this rendition end in bass drop catharsis, but this one has Ninajirachi's glitchy and always very earnest touch. — Tobias Hess

Pop’s greatest and horniest band is back. MUNA’s “Dancing On The Wall” is simple, euphoric ‘80s synth pop. What more could you want? —SW

tobi lou somehow turned NewJeans’ sub-20-song discography to a 33-track tribute mixtape. One standout track is “Honeybee,” a The Neptunes-esque rework of the group's swan song, “Supernatural,” replete with syncopated drums and that early-2000s bounce. — Hajin Yoo

It’s easy to treat a punk icon making digitized trap like clickbait, but hard is hard and “DIRTY TECH” is so cold it makes you wince. The Sonic Youth singer is on a generational run following the release of “NOT TODAY,” the lead single off her forthcoming album PLAY ME. On “DIRTY TECH,” she continues to merge her dry, socially observant lyricism with bleary trap production. — TH

Omah Lay’s hiatus left a void in Afrobeats. Thankfully, he's returned with four singles. “DON’T LOVE ME” is the darkest of the bunch. On it, Lay warns a lover of his purely lustful intentions, though the infectious tune might tempt whoever he's addressing to ignore the warning anyway. — Kylah Williams

I can’t stop listening to this gorgeous, lush pop song by Stockholm’s waterbaby. She sings about wanting to be desired over a choir of guitar, flute, horns, and strings, weaving the thinnest gossamer net. I’m looking forward to her full album, Memory Be a Blade, out on March 6. —SW

Part-Luigi Mangione-style caper, part-"Little Boxes" send up of Washington D.C. politico dreariness, part-psychedelic head banger, "lil xan goes to washington" by DC-based queer punk band Ekko Astral is a punch and a laugh. — TH

We've had our ears on Gwen Bunn since her work on ScHoolboy Q's “Collard Greens” and Rapsody’s album ‘Laila’s Wisdom." Her latest is groovy, weightless, and strikingly confessional. — KW

Symbia came on my FYP the other day and I’ve been weirdly entranced by her homey, cloud rap songs ever since. On “background character,” she raps about feeling mistreated in a relationship but it’s the little details that she hones in on — sunlight coming through the window — that give this otherwise icy song a burst of warmth. — Steffanee Wang
