Sigrid – Jellyfish

It’s a piece that seems to turn that restless feeling at the start of summer straight into sound.

Created by Sigrid, the Norwegian artist who won the BBC Sound of 2018, the song captures the sweet, bittersweet air of early romance—riding the highs and lows of awkward exchanges with someone you like.

What makes it so charming is its warmth, as if it embraces your lack of confidence and clumsiness just as they are.

It carries a message that encourages honest feelings, almost like saying, “Come dance with me.” When you need the courage to take a step into love, it will gently give you a push.

Simple Plan – Nothing Changes (Official Video)

How would you feel if a band declared that, even after 25 years since their formation, the music they believe in hasn’t changed? This song by the Canadian pop-punk band Simple Plan is an emotional anthem infused with that unwavering resolve.

Released in July 2025 as part of the soundtrack for the documentary film The Kids In The Crowd, which traces the band’s journey, it features lyrics that boldly proclaim, “No matter the twists and turns, our core remains the same”—a perfect reflection of their 25-year history.

Anyone who’s stuck with something for a long time will find the courage to keep pushing forward without forgetting their roots.

Listen to it when an old dream suddenly comes to mind, and it might just set your heart on fire.

Friendly FireSkepta

Skepta – Friendly Fire

A track delivered by Skepta, who stands at the pinnacle of the UK grime scene, feels like a declaration of war against the entire US rap world! After winning the Mercury Prize with his 2016 album Konnichiwa, he fires off a scathing message aimed at specific US rappers.

In this work, he critiques his opponent’s style with deft wordplay while flaunting his own unshakable skill and pride.

This isn’t just a diss—it’s the opening chapter of a grand “UK vs.

US” saga that carries the pride of the scene.

Riding on a heavy, razor-sharp beat crafted by M1OnTheBeat and others, the tense back-and-forth of the raps delivers the full thrill of hip-hop battle.

Enjoy listening as the two cultures collide!
