Tommy Genesis – True Blue (Official Video)

Tommy Genesis, a Canadian artist who stands out not only in music but also in the worlds of art and fashion, continues to expand her multifaceted career as a rapper and model.

It’s still fresh in our minds that she contributed to Lana Del Rey’s 2023 album, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.” She has now released a lead single from her upcoming album “Genesis,” due out in July 2025.

Layering searing lyrics about lost love and personal identity over unsettling guitars and trap beats, the track is compelling from start to finish.

Introspective yet brimming with her signature provocative allure, this release is a perfect fit for anyone seeking cutting-edge hip-hop.

Where To StartWale

Wale – Where To Start (Official Audio)

Hailing from Washington, D.C., popular rapper Wale released a track in June 2025 that heralds a new chapter following his move to Def Jam.

The song samples SWV’s 1992 R&B classic “I’m So Into You,” whose soulful resonance feels wonderfully comforting.

It deftly captures the delicate flutter and hesitation that come with the beginning of love—when a once-shuttered heart is drawn to someone again and frozen feelings slowly begin to thaw.

About four years on from the album Folarin II, this single heightens anticipation for his eighth studio album.

It’s a perfect fit for time spent with someone special or for nights when you want to sink into your feelings.

Wet Leg, a UK duo who became instant darlings of the indie scene after winning a Grammy with their debut album.

Their trademark is that striking blend of post-punk bite and scathing lyrics.

Released in June 2025, “davina mccall” is the lead single from their forthcoming album “moisturizer,” and it’s a gentle, sentimental love ballad that stands apart from their more aggressive image.

The song celebrates the cherishable routines found in a long-term relationship, richly reflecting the members’ personal romantic experiences.

Its dreamlike clay animation music video is also a must-see—perfect for moments when you want to spend time in calm and comfort.

Hailing from New York, USA, Yaya Bey is highly acclaimed not only for her work as a poet and activist but also for her musicality.

Rooted in alternative R&B while effortlessly crossing diverse genres, her style is undeniably cool—no wonder critics praise her so highly.

From her album “do it afraid,” released in June 2025, the track we’re introducing features a groove infused with dub and reggae influences that feels irresistibly smooth.

Immersed in the joy of deep love while gazing at the transience of the moment, its world-building makes it a perfect fit for a laid-back weekend soundtrack or a quiet night of solitary reflection.

quannnic – Observer (Official Music Video)

QuanNick, an American artist who has been reimagining shoegaze and emo with a modern sensibility—and even joined Slowdive’s tour in November 2024—has been drawing attention in the new-generation rock scene.

In June 2025, he released an advance single from his album Warbrained.

The track seems to depict the conflict between two opposing emotions: the helplessness of being able to do nothing but observe amid a suffocating sense of hitting a wall, and the inner impulse that wells up from within.

Its sound—painfully intense passion conveyed through roaring guitars and a delicate vocal delivery—powerfully shakes the listener’s heart.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to sink into on a night weighed down by unmanageable feelings.
