This is the dirtiest and grimiest I’ve ever heard Kim Petras. On her newest Pretour-cut she sings about getting some over a bass-busting, crunchy beat that will fuck up your hearing. Cortisa’s verse rules, of course. This new vibe sounds good on Kim. —Steffanee Wang

Kingston and Lagos collide on this nasty track that brings Rema and Skillibeng together (for the first time ever, somehow). Skillibeng opens the track and sets the freak-bar high, and Rema continues the vibes via his own sexy verse. — Kylah Williams

Like Dijon or mk.gee, doggone’s indie rock is populated by speaker-clipping textures, and like them, much of his music is sung in a half-mutter, half-yelp. What elevates doggone, though, is his songwriting’s pop sensibility and charm. His latest track sounds like an ‘80s yearner’s anthem run through five layers of chaos and abstraction. It makes me want to perform a fully lipsynced choreo routine in my bedroom. — Tobias Hess

Sade Olutola could be the new Tumblr princess we need. In her much hyped single, “2099” (which until recently was only available on Tumblr), the British artist tells a scorned love story that spans from 1625 to 2099. Love and betrayal are timeless feelings that hit especially hard when delivered over this bittersweet beat. — KW

After breaking big in 2025 with “Shake It To The Max,” MOLIY has been on a steady singles campaign (including a collab with Tyla). MOLIY’s falsetto wines across a minor key backdrop on “PARTYGYAL.” It's perfect soundtrack for trying to decide who might come home with you on a bleary Saturday night. – Vivian Medithi

Aldous Harding’s songs often sound like riddles, lyrically and sometimes sonically. Her newest, “One Stop,” is a breezy, lovely one with lyrics about John Cale eating rice and her wearing “big grass to town.” Sonically, it is straightforward and clean feeling, a plodding piano that bursts open midway with guitar, like a mental breakthrough. —SW

DC THE DON’s newest song is a love song and a party track all in one. On it, you can hear him whispering “drugs, drugs, drugs” in the background while confessing how badly he needs the girl he’s singing about. Love and intoxication go together as perfectly as DC’s deep voice over these nostalgic electronic beats. — KW

Mori — co-founder of Spanish experimental pop collective Rusia-IDK — recently put out his charming debut album, El Niño Bola. My favorite track is "Star," an auto-tune drenched rusowsky-assisted, guitar cut that shines via its winsome, sweet falsetto. — TH

Scenic Route-signee and close Deer Park-collaborator Ivy Knight shared the first peak of her forthcoming album. It sounds like the musical equivalent of rummaging through a bin of discarded polaroids in an antique store, folky, austere, and timeless. TH

Virginia rapper Mynameisntjmack is in an unusual predicament on “distant cousins” – he doesn’t have any weed. It’s a sad state of affairs for the Tommy Richman collaborator, who is jonesing on Euro tours and frustrated by unreliable dealers back home. – VM

Bedroom folk singer camille blackman just dropped her second single since signing to Mom+Pop last fall. My groupchat can’t get enough of her unhurried vignettes and clear-toned diary missives. Read our full review here. – VM
