We think it’s a major compliment when you listen to a record and actually feel like you’re standing in the room with the band. “Sounds of Seance” from Super Love is exactly that kind of listen! It’s warm, organic, and completely unfussy, the sort of record that invites you to relax, turn it up, and sing along for the ride.

Read MoreWe’ll be completely honest, it’s been a hot minute since a hip-hop album blew us away until this one came along! It’s a lot rarer to hear an artist build an entire album around the idea of leaving the ego at the door. However, that’s exactly what Nashville’s E.T. did on “Positivity Over Persona,” that just arrived on October 16th, 2026. It’s a 20-track statement of purpose and it feels and sounds like the work of someone who put everything he has into it.
Read MoreSome instrumental songs say more in three minutes than most lyrics manage in an entire album! “The Month of May” from Orchestra of Sound is truly the definition of that. This one is uplifting, emotional, and beautifully built, and it makes a wonderful first look at the project’s upcoming album, “Flying High.”
Read MoreSome songs hook you so fast you barely notice it’s happening! Trust us when we say “You and Your Ghost” from Joseph Robinson is one of them. It’s incredibly catchy, bright, and uplifting, and by the time it wraps up, you’ll probably be ready to hit replay.
Read MoreThere’s something wonderfully bold about a song that says almost nothing but yet still keeps you hooked. “Ride That Camel” from JJ’s Music Retaliation does exactly that. At about a minute and a half, it’s a short, strange, and surprisingly a gripping listen, and it might be one of the most fun curveballs he’s thrown yet.
Read MoreBefore you do anything, you’re 100% going to want to grab a nice pair of headphones and take a seat for a journey that’ll surely blow your minds. "Island Poetry" from the Boston based rock band Mad Painter is an absolute thrill ride of a record that we loved on the first listen. Just released through Italian independent label Epictronic, this record is a full immersion into Hammond-driven hard rock and progressive rock with an unmistakable glam flair, and it sucks you into its world from the very first note.
Read MoreSome artists just keep getting better, trying new things, and one upping themselves, and we’ve got to confidently say that Gabrielle Ornate is one of ‘em.

It’s catchy, atmospheric, and wonderfully memorable, and it’s been stuck in our heads nonstop since the moment we first heard it!
Read MoreThere’s something so unbelievably honest about a song that admits love isn’t always easy, and “When We Kiss” from Texas singer-songwriter Kathy Ross is built on that honesty in a perfect way. It’s a candid, emotional look at heartache and the effort it takes to find your way back to each other after a relationship loses its spark. It’s also a gorgeous showcase for one of the most expressive voices we’ve heard lately!

Read MoreSome records just downright make you feel good the second they start! "Ebb and Flow" from Prettier Than Matt is exactly that kind of album as soon as “See You in ‘22” kicks off. The duo of Jessica Skinner Sims and Jeff Pitts have been at this for a while now, and this fifth album sounds like two people who've figured out exactly what makes their chemistry so special. It's a blast of what they call “Americana Pop”, though they'd probably admit no label really captures what they do.

Tanzanian artist Amsoye, a singer-songwriter, content creator, and mentor to fellow artists from her home country, delivers something genuinely soulful here, a track that finds real strength in sincerity rather than spectacle.
Read MoreThere's almost nothing better than hearing an artist channel genuine frustration into something this sharp and purposeful. His latest "Letter to the Editor" does exactly that with a power that’s almost unexplainable. Freshly released on October 2nd, 2026, this latest single from the Lancaster, Pennsylvania singer-songwriter Matt Tarka marks his most direct confrontation yet with institutional power and trust us when we say it lands with real force.

This is a heartfelt, melody driven love song that wears its Beatles influence proudly while still carving out something distinctly his own.
Read MoreCreating real beauty in music that’s built around the quiet, everyday moments of love rather than the dramatic ones is no easy feat! However, that’s exactly the space Jacob Wick occupies on "I'll Make You Coffee While You Still Sleep." This new album from the American born, Mexico City based trumpeter, composer, and improviser is a genuinely unique listen, one that finds meaning in connection rather than certainty.
Read MoreIn 1997 a seventeen-year-old student in Gothenburg called Daniel Malmedahl recorded himself doing an impression of a two-stroke engine, the whiny little motor you get on a moped, and stuck it up on a website because that is what you did with that kind of thing in 1997. Eight years later the same noise was sitting at number one in the UK singles chart, and Coldplay were stuck underneath it at number two.
Read MoreSome songs are written to entertain and some are written because the story simply has to be told. "Davey's Story" from Queensland country singer-songwriter Simon Orton belongs firmly to that second group. It's an incredibly meaningful piece of music, and it carries real love in every line. We can guarantee this song will make you feel something in a super reflective way.
