Looking for something new to add to your rotation? Here are five standout tracks that caught our attention this week, featuring fresh voices, bold collaborations, and artists evolving their sound in compelling ways.
Samia – Carousel
Minneapolis singer-songwriter Samia shares Carousel, the final single ahead of her new album Bloodless, out this Friday. Starting with a delicate mix of acoustic guitar and shimmering synths, the track slowly builds into a soaring, euphoric crescendo. Samia describes it as "a shadow of a long song", rooted in emotional stasis and self-doubt, "about spinning your wheels, and being afraid to make someone's life less beautiful if you're in it." It's a haunting, vulnerable moment that hints at the ambition behind her most expansive record to date.
Myd – All That Glitters is Not Gold (feat Channel Tres, Trueno)
This offbeat collaboration merges French electro, West Coast cool, and Latin flair into something completely its own. Myd's production is playful and textured, with Channel Tres and Trueno trading verses that keep things unpredictable and alive. It is a track that finds joy in its left-field instincts without losing its sense of groove.
Loyle Carner – About Time
About Time feels like a milestone moment for Loyle Carner. Built around a loose, live-band groove, the track carries a quiet emotional weight, blending introspection with hope. It's a reflection on the transition out of adolescence, what you leave behind, and what stays with you. Deeply personal yet universally resonant, the song closes on a touching exchange between father and son, adding depth to a theme that runs through much of Carner's work. Even the artwork, coloured in by his child, adds to the raw, unpolished honesty that defines this release.
Skye Newman – Hairdresser
Skye Newman's Hairdresser is sharp, strange, and highly original. With deadpan delivery and observational lyrics, the track sits somewhere between spoken word and pop. Its minimal production gives her voice space to cut through clearly, turning the mundane into something vivid and quietly subversive.
Bush – 60 Ways To Forget People
Bush return with 60 Ways To Forget People, a reflective track that explores heartbreak, personal growth, and the quiet strength it takes to move on. It is the first official single from their upcoming album I Beat Loneliness, which marks the band’s tenth studio release. Produced by Gavin Rossdale and Erik Ron, the song blends classic grunge intensity with a more introspective edge. According to Rossdale, it is “an ode to sacrifice and a dedication to the focus it takes to be better”, a sentiment that sets the tone for a bold new chapter in the band’s evolution.
