Little Mix, the girl group that led the UK music scene in the 2010s, has a former member, Perrie, who has released a new single ahead of her debut album “Perrie,” set for release in September 2025.

The track is a cute yet slightly biting pep talk to a friend who can’t escape a bad relationship, telling her, “If he’s serious, he’ll act like it.” Its live, band-like sound and instantly memorable melody are incredibly catchy.

Perrie’s candid words—shaped by rediscovering herself through therapy—are sure to resonate with many.

She won a Grammy for her 2024 album Short n’ Sweet, and her momentum carries into this bold new release, whose lyrical perspective is uniquely refreshing.

Electric Dreams

Also active as a political activist and artist, he unveils the first single from his upcoming compilation album, “Covers, Collaborations & Collages,” slated for October 2025.

Born from archival recordings, the song is a spectral, introspective acoustic piece.

Its structure—shifting from a whisper-like vocal delivery to piercing high notes—is breathtaking, evoking the sensation of wandering the boundary between dream and reality.

The serene sound, which overturns his fierce image, is a work you’ll want to sit with on contemplative nights.

LIGHTS OUTSpite

Spite – LIGHTS OUT (Official Music Video)

Spite, the Bay Area, California-born deathcore band described as “thunderous and soul-gouging,” has already cemented its reputation with its ferocious sound—most notably when their album Dedication to Flesh reached No.

14 on the Billboard charts.

The track they released in August 2025 is the lead single from their forthcoming album New World Killer, due in October of the same year.

True to the band’s statement that “the most dangerous people are those with nothing left to lose,” the song tackles the terror and violence bred by a lack of social awareness.

Alongside Spite’s signature, blistering deathcore assault, this release layers in a tightening, groove-metal approach, yielding a heavier, more ominous atmosphere.

It’s not just sheer aggression—the sound hints at an unfathomable darkness that will undoubtedly resonate with listeners seeking depth in heavy music.

Chateau BluesSpoon

Spoon – “Chateau Blues” (Official Lyric Video)

Formed in Austin, Texas in 1993, Spoon is a band that has enjoyed tremendous popularity in the indie rock scene.

Their previous album, Lucifer on the Sofa, was even nominated for a Grammy.

Their new track appears on a double A-side single released in August 2025.

The song is an impulsive slice of rock ’n’ roll that carries a dapper, Rolling Stones–like vibe throughout.

It was finished early in the album sessions, but its quality was so high that the band reportedly decided it “had to come out now”—an anecdote its final form fully justifies.

For fans of straight-ahead, groovy rock, this one is irresistible.
