Dead End- Snail Mail 

Snail Mail is back! The lead single for her upcoming album Ricochet is built on a phenomenal guitar riff and evocative lyricism. The song structure is easy to re-listen to over and over again, and is full of moments that will make it excellent to experience live. 

STOLE YA FLOW- A$AP Rocky

After 8 years without releasing an album A$AP Rocky is back with a vengeance on his new record Don’t Be Dumb, especially on “STOLE YA FLOW”, where he sends shots at Drake, and anyone else who has switched up on him, over a grimy beat. An artist known for his flows, Rocky is back doing what made him a star on this track, riding the beat with ease and dropping plenty of memorable punchlines. 

When the War is Over- Nourished By Time

Baltimore artist Nourished By Time has one of the most special, unique sounds out at the moment. This feels like a sound that can change popular music over the next few years. This song is a fantastic example of his meticulous instrumentation, soulful vocals, and displays a strong combination of emotional expression and artists experimentation. 

Dog at your Doorstep- Connall Caffety

Young singer-songwriter Connall Cafferty perfectly captured yearning desperately for a relationship that isn’t meant to be on this track. The production lets his vocals shine, and you can feel every word in your core. The structure has a fantastic build-up and a memorable chorus. This song is ready to help Cafferty break out in a big way. 

A Cold Play- The Kid Laroi

The instrumental on this song includes programmed trap drums over spacy cords, creating a perfect environment for the Kid Laroi’s vocals to shine. This is so melodically pleasing, with Laroi finding the pocket and making every moment of the track easy to listen to.

2SIDED- Arlo Parks

British singer Arlo Parks is quietly one of the best voices in the game right now, and this track is probably the best uptempo, dancey record she has ever released (with most of her catalogue being softer tracks with beautifully gut-wrenching lyricism). This song feels like a club dance scene in a movie, cinematic and full of movement. 

Oh Wide World- Mon Rovîa

New folk artist Mon Rovîa is bringing back old school political folk to the mainstream, with a sound that evokes legends like Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel at times. On “Oh Wide World”, you get to really hear his vocal chops on an earworm chorus. He’s fantastic at creating replay value for music that makes you think and feel his American experience.
