Tuide (pronounced “tweed”) is HYBE’s much hyped and fresh-faced new girl group, perhaps positioned to fill a very NewJeans-shaped hole in the company’s roster right now. I won’t speak on that, but “Sun Kiss” is a perfectly sweet and addictive debut, a frothy concoction of bossa and house.

New York artist Renny Conti writes songs which feel both poetically vague, yet emotionally immediate. His new song, “Leaving The Zoo” has a haunting quality, like he’s floating over the earth and narrating its happenings. — TH
