Florence Road – Break The Girl (Official Video)

Florence Road is a four-piece band from Wicklow, Ireland.

Formed by childhood friends, they’ve gained massive support from teens for their down-to-earth lyrics and sound.

The work they released in September 2025 is this one.

It captures the frustration and anger over a dear friend being treated badly.

Fuzzy guitars that recall ’90s alt-rock and a driving, high-energy beat seem to amplify the urgency in the lyrics.

This track follows their mixtape “Fall Back” and was spotlighted as a notable pick on BBC Radio 1.

It’s sure to resonate when you’re feeling helpless or when you’re moved to do something for a friend.

Gyakie & 6LACK – damn u (Official Visualizer)

Singer-songwriter Gyakie, known by the nickname “Song Bird” and the daughter of a pioneer of Ghanaian highlife music, created this work with American singer 6lack, who has been nominated for the Grammy Awards.

Blending Afro-fusion and alternative R&B, it’s crafted into a ballad where their emotive vocals intertwine beautifully.

The song expresses pure love and devotion—an irresistible pull toward the other person—and the raw ring of the guitar further amplifies those feelings.

The track is included on her debut album After Midnight, released in August 2025.

It’s a piece you’ll want to sink into on a quiet night while thinking of someone special.

A Little Is A Little Too MuchHelloween

HELLOWEEN – A Little Is A Little Too Much (Official Music Video)

A playful, exhilarating rock number delivered by the elder statesmen of power metal.

Written by vocalist Andi Deris, the song offers a lesson—“even a touch of excess can lead to unexpected consequences”—wrapped in bittersweet humor.

Its lively sound, reminiscent of ’80s hard rock, is paired with melodies that carry Helloween’s signature blend of wistfulness and pop sensibility, guaranteed to stick in your head after a single listen.

The call-and-response vocals by Deris and Michael Kiske form a superb ensemble that further elevates the track’s appeal.

Included on the album “Giants & Monsters,” slated for release in August 2025.

With a catchy chorus tailor-made for mass sing-alongs at shows, this is the perfect number when you’re in the mood for a refreshing lift.

ParachuteHayley Williams

Hayley Williams – Parachute (Official Visualizer)

Hayley Williams, who led Paramore as an icon of the emo boom and dominated the scene, has captivated many music fans with her solo work, where she explores an introspective and artistic vision distinct from the band.

Her third solo album, “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party,” released in August 2025, earned widespread critical acclaim.

As the album’s closing piece, this work arrives at a quiet sense of release after traversing the album’s weighty theme of “ego death.” Its inventive sound—fusing alternative pop and trip-hop—draws listeners into a deep afterglow.

It’s the perfect finale to a modern classic, one worth taking the time to truly listen to.

SUPAFLEE (Bri Steves)Joey Bada$$

Joey Bada$$, Bri Steves – SUPAFLEE (Official Audio)

Joey Bada$$, a rapper who carries the sound of hip-hop’s 90s golden era into the present.

He’s also found success as an actor—his starring short film even won at the 93rd Academy Awards—showcasing his seemingly boundless versatility.

After about three years, he released his fourth album, “Lonely at the Top,” in August 2025.

This song is one of the tracks featured on that album.

The beat, crafted by his Pro Era ally Kirk Knight, evokes the Neptunes who set early-2000s clubs ablaze, and Joey’s confident bars are on fire throughout.

Brye Steves delivers a highly addictive hook as the guest feature—an absolute must-listen if you want to get hyped for a weekend drive or party.

Silence after a shootoutKING 810

KING 810 – Silence after a shootout [official]

Heavy band King 810 from Flint, Michigan.

With a worldview that directly confronts local Flint’s crime and poverty, they’ve earned high praise from hardcore metal fans.

In August 2025, they released a track that will be included on their forthcoming album K7: RUSTBELT NUMETAL 2.

Recorded in a single day without a click track, with an audience invited into the studio, the piece is defined by the urgency and raw sonics born from that production approach.

The theme is the nihilistic silence that follows a shootout, and it’s intensely compelling.

Frontman David Gunn’s spoken word further deepens the work’s weighty atmosphere.

If you like music with strong storytelling, this is a must-check release.

SAYŌNARAKNEECAP and PAUL HARTNOLL

KNEECAP and PAUL HARTNOLL – SAYŌNARA (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Armed with Irish-language rap and political messaging, the hip-hop trio KNEECAP have been on a roll, even winning at the Sundance Film Festival with their autobiographical film.

They dropped a collaboration in September 2025 with Paul Hartnoll of Orbital, a legend of the UK rave scene.

The track is a fierce rave tune: a high-speed beat with an industrial, dark texture, wrapped in brain-piercing synths.

Their rap, delivered entirely in Irish, slams their identity onto the track and fires up the listener’s adrenaline.

It’s easy to believe the story that an early festival performance sparked a massive mosh pit—the energy is undeniable.

Perfect for blasting away the claustrophobia of everyday life.
