Latest Western music releases [October 2025]

Look At Mefakemink

fakemink – Look At Me (Prod Moustafax2 x OK)

Fakuminq, a young talent born in 2005 and based in London.

Centering on cloud rap while traversing genres like jerk and hyperpop, he dropped this provocative work in October 2025.

Produced by Moustafax2 and OK, the track fuses underground hip-hop with jerk-influenced sounds into an aggressive cut, with lyrics that stand out for their assertiveness and independence.

It’s said to have been made against the backdrop of a feud with rapper Netspend, though Fakuminq himself left a cryptic comment: “This isn’t a diss track, it’s a kiss track.” Riding over a hard-edged beat, his provocative flow showcases the sharp, distinctive character of the new generation in the UK underground scene.

FREG STRONGA$AP Ferg

FERG – FERG STRONG (Audio)

A$AP Ferg—a core member of the Harlem-based hip-hop collective A$AP Mob and a multi-talented figure known for ventures like his own fashion brand—delivered a ferocious hip-hop banger with his single released in July 2024.

It erupts with his untamed energy: a thunderous 808 bass, relentless drums, and sporadically piercing synths combine to form an overwhelmingly powerful beat.

Over it, his confident, aggressive rapping seems to embody the very theme of “strength.” It’s also memorable that he released the track alongside training footage of himself—making it a perfect song for gym workouts or for getting pumped up when it really counts.

Alessi Rose – First Original Thought (official music video)

Alessi Rose, a singer-songwriter from England who has been rapidly gaining attention since she began her career in 2023.

The dance track she released in September 2025 showcases her knack for capturing young listeners with confessional lyrics.

The song stands out for its shimmering disco-inflected groove fused with an alternative pop sensibility.

The lyrics depict a protagonist who, with biting humor, dismisses an ex who only now recognizes her worth.

This track is the lead single from the EP “Voyeur (Deluxe),” scheduled for release in November 2025.

It’s the kind of song that will give you a boost when you’re breaking free from heartbreak and want to affirm your strength.

VacancyAri Lennox

Ari Lennox – Vacancy (Visualizer)

Ari Lennox, an R&B singer who debuted under J.

Cole’s label and earned high praise for her May 2019 album “Shea Butter Baby,” is a leading figure in the contemporary neo-soul scene.

Following a label change, she has released this new track.

Produced by heavyweights like Jermaine Dupri, the song boasts a richly vintage sound that feels like a modern update of ’70s soul.

Its sensual, double-entendre lyrics—inviting someone over for the weekend under the pretext of home repairs—are thrillingly clever.

Bold yet cool, her vocals showcase Ari Lennox’s prowess as a singer-songwriter, making the track perfect as BGM for a slightly more grown-up evening.

WICHITA BLUESAries

Aries – WICHITA BLUES

Aries, who first drew attention with his beat recreation videos on YouTube, has built a strong following with a style that fuses hip-hop and pop punk.

His talent is unquestionable—during the tour for his 2019 debut album “Welcome Home,” he sold out 21 shows.

His newly released track bears the name of his hometown.

The song features a guitar riff that evokes a sense of nostalgia and a pleasantly airy, summer-night breeze-like feel.

As the title suggests, it unfolds a bittersweet and beautiful world where hometown nostalgia melds with the blues of the present.

It’s a perfect track for a chill night, and a must-listen for anyone who enjoys genre-blurring music.

Evil WorldBladee & Yung Lean

Evil World

Hailing from Sweden and leading the wave of cloud rap, Bladee and Yung Lean each helm their own collectives and exert a massive influence on the internet generation’s music scene.

Their latest joint creation is a track dropped in September 2025.

It’s quintessential cloud rap, spotlighting their signature dreamy, weightless synths.

Feelings of loneliness in an evil world and a contemplative mood are rendered within deeply reverberant, ambient soundscapes.

The release follows the trajectory of their 2024 collaborative album “Psykos,” with close ally Whitearmor also contributing to the production.

It’s the kind of song you can sink into on a quiet night alone, letting its world fully envelop you.

DarkCatch Your Breath

Catch Your Breath – Dark (Official Lyric Video)

Catch Your Breath, the Texas-born rock band whose 2022 hit “Dial Tone” was memorably certified Gold in January 2025, has released a new track following their album Shame On Me (Deluxe Edition).

The song centers on the turmoil and lingering feelings that swirl at the end of a relationship.

Though physically close, their hearts are worlds apart—the untouchable distance is rendered through a vivid contrast of hush and roar.

Josh Mowery’s wrung-out vocals fuse with a heart-wrenching melody to shake the listener to the core.

It’s a track that speaks for you when you’re bearing the ache of a helpless heartbreak—one that will gently stay by your side on nights when you want to sink into your feelings.
