Not only known as Billie Eilish’s brother, but also the youngest ever winner of Producer of the Year at the Grammys, Finneas delivers this track released in October 2025.

It appears on the Season 2 soundtrack for Netflix’s romantic comedy series “Nobody Wants This,” as one of the songs on an album featuring star artists like Selena Gomez and Kacey Musgraves.

Characterized by its minimal arrangement and restrained sonics, it reflects his production ethos of letting the listener clearly perceive what’s happening.

GoneIndia Shawn

India Shawn is a singer-songwriter from Los Angeles.

She began her career as a songwriter, penning tracks for artists like Chris Brown and Monica, and released her debut album, “Before We Go (Deeper),” in 2022.

Drawing attention for her distinctive sound that blends alternative R&B with elements of ’70s soul and psych-pop, she continues to evolve her artistry.

Her new single, released in October 2025, was created with longtime collaborator and producer D’Mile.

It’s a vintage soul track adorned with unique textures—surf guitar, whistling, and handclaps—layered with a cinematic, Western-like atmosphere.

Rather than dwelling on heartbreak, the song celebrates the calm and strength found after letting someone go, capturing the resolve to seek what truly suits you.

Highly recommended for anyone ready to take a new step forward.

Brand NewJayDon

Born in 2007, Jaydon is a young multi-hyphenate also known for voicing Young Simba in Disney’s live-action The Lion King.

He signed with the label founded by Usher and L.A.

Reid and will release his debut EP, “Me My Songs & I,” in October 2025.

This track from the EP is a wistful R&B number that looks back on a past relationship, asking, “Was the love we had back then real?” Jaydon’s smooth vocals glide over a light beat, and the falsetto-laced delivery reflects the influence of his mentor, Usher.

Portraying a young person trying to move forward while carrying the pain of heartbreak, this song is a must-listen for anyone who can’t quite let go of a past love.

PIXELATED KISSESJoji

This work, his first new song in about three years, marks Joji’s comeback, released in October 2025.

Known for a sound that centers on alternative R&B while blending trip-hop and lo-fi, he stands out here with an assertive approach that pairs an intense trap beat with minimal, restrained vocals.

Though it runs under two minutes, its digitally distorted textures evoke an ethereal atmosphere, opening up a new frontier distinct from past classics like “Slow Dancing in the Dark.” Written, composed, recorded, and produced entirely by Joji himself, the track is widely seen as the lead single for his next album, raising expectations for what comes next.

I Like Ur LookKim Petras

Kim Petras, who achieved worldwide fame with her Grammy-winning hit “Unholy,” released a long-awaited pop-EDM track in October 2025, which she also helped produce.

Created in collaboration with the electropop duo Frost Children, the song is characterized by vivid, sensual sounds.

In her discography, it serves as the third single leading up to her next album, “KP3,” and it was previewed back in March 2023.

Blending playfulness and sexiness, this track is perfect for amping up the mood at parties or on a drive.
