Five songs we think you'll like this week

Claudia Valentina – Candy
Claudia Valentina is stepping up with Candy, a fierce pop single packed with swagger and sharp edges. She’s been tipped as one to watch, and this track makes it clear why: sleek production, bold lyrics, and a hook that refuses to quit. Turn this one up for maximum effect.

Franc Moody – Waiting For The Punchline (Swallertrip)
Franc Moody drop another slice of funky, electronic goodness with Waiting For The Punchline (Swallertrip). Expect thick bass, bouncing percussion, and the kind of groove that sounds even better loud. It’s a weirdly titled track with very smooth results, classic Franc Moody.

Night Tapes – Pacifico
London trio Night Tapes continue to carve out their dreamy electronic pop sound with Pacifico, lifted from their upcoming Assisted Memories EP. It’s lo-fi, hazy, and effortlessly cool, landing somewhere between bedroom pop and sleek electronic production. One for the chill playlist, but it holds up on the main speakers too.

Julia Michaels – Try Your Luck
Julia Michaels returns with Try Your Luck, a sharp, confident pop cut that shows off her knack for catchy songwriting. She’s worked behind the scenes on countless hits for other artists, but here she reminds everyone she’s just as compelling at the front. Big chorus, tight production it's an easy win.

bbno$ – mary poppins
bbno$ brings the fun with mary poppins, a tongue-in-cheek rap track full of playful bars and his signature bounce. It’s goofy, it’s self-aware, and it’s super catchy, exactly what fans expect from him. The beat slaps, the lyrics are cheeky, and you’ll probably be quoting it by the end of the day.
