Aerosmith, YUNGBLUD – My Only Angel (Official Visualizer)

Aerosmith, who have reigned as an icon of American hard rock since the ’70s and still enjoy immense popularity, have released a sweeping power ballad in collaboration with YUNGBLUD, a leading figure in today’s UK rock scene.

Opening quietly with Steven Tyler’s wistful vocals before unfolding into a heavy, full-band sound, this dramatic track is driven by poignant lyrics that call a loved one an “angel” while confessing the fear that they might leave again.

This is the lead single from One More Time, an EP that includes Aerosmith’s first original song in 13 years.

The collaboration itself is remarkable—perhaps even a moment destined to be recorded in rock history.

Their new single welcomes Blink-182’s Travis Barker as producer.

While the track tackles a serious theme—singing about pain that feels like bleeding from within—it’s crafted into an exceptionally catchy pop-punk sound.

This song is the second installment in a trilogy of singles following the album “Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs.” The contrast between the bright sound and the shadowy lyrics is highly addictive, and the more you listen, the more your impression will evolve.

The song is a powerful pop-punk number about ending an unproductive relationship and finding the resolve to move forward.

It’s a pop banger that lays bare the sweetness and fragility of being in love.

She sheds her usual punkish armor here, celebrating the delicate side of a “girl in love,” thrilled by candy-like kisses.

In contrast to the nu-metal and industrial sounds showcased on her previous album, Weedkiller, this song leans intimate and catchy.

It’s a release tailor-made for listeners who find ordinary pop no longer satisfying.

It strongly reflects the world of the album “Traumatic Poem,” delving into introspective themes such as deep-seated scars and unending inner conflict.

The progression—from parts that evoke quiet anguish to a chorus where emotions burst forth, paired with thunderous guitar— is truly breathtaking.

If you enjoy rock that’s heavy yet lyrical, this is a must-check release.

Better Lovers – Don’t Forget To Say Please (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Their hallmark is a ferocious sound that fuses metalcore and hardcore.

In September 2025, they released this work.

If we were to sum up its appeal in a single phrase, it would be its aggression powerful enough to shatter social niceties.

With chaotic progressions and a destructive sonic assault—the polar opposite of any call for politeness—it shakes the listener’s emotions to the core.

Following their October 2024 album Highly Irresponsible, this track is more than enough to hint at their next masterpiece.

It’s a rousing song you’ll want to blast when you need to blow away all your pent-up frustrations.

The song in question is included on their album Futique, released in September 2025.

It’s a slow-building ballad that starts quietly and swells with emotion, imbued with a heart-wrenching sense of urgency.

Written with the resolve to face even the end of the band, it carries a searing sentiment in which the themes of farewell and rebirth are powerfully conveyed.

It’s a track you’ll want to put on when you wish to quietly sink into an introspective moment.
