From dreamy hyperpop to introspective alt-R&B and cinematic indie, this week's playlist brings you five standout tracks from around the globe.

Today Radio's top picks this week:

yeule – Evangelic Girl is a Gun

A dark, shimmering track from experimental pop visionary yeule, Evangelic Girl is a Gun blends glitchy textures with angelic vocals and quietly explosive emotion. It’s a slow-burner that feels both delicate and dangerous – like a dream you’re not quite ready to wake up from.

Cuco – Phases

Cuco’s Phases is all swaying rhythm and soft vulnerability, a lo-fi R&B daydream about change, distance, and emotional drift. Laced with psych-tinged warmth and Cuco’s signature melancholy, this one’s perfect for hazy afternoons and late-night reflection.

RIO KOSTA – Ancients

This atmospheric track from rising artist RIO KOSTA is rich with mystery and texture. Ancients moves with the rhythm of ritual, weaving hypnotic percussion, layered vocals, and immersive synths into something spiritual and cinematic. A must-hear for fans of genre-blending soundscapes.

SYML – Heavy Hearts

Heavy Hearts lives up to its name, a sparse and stunning meditation from SYML on grief, strength, and the burden of feeling too much. With just piano, voice, and space, it delivers an emotional punch that lingers long after the last note.

Fitz and the Tantrums – Ruin the Night

Need a dancefloor-ready pick-me-up? Ruin the Night brings big hooks, pop swagger, and the kind of energy that Fitz and the Tantrums do best. It’s playful, punchy, and ready to soundtrack your weekend or turn around a bad Monday.
