Feels Like the Sunshine

This is a new song included on the deluxe edition of Jake Bugg’s 2024 album A Modern Day Distraction.

Hailing from Nottingham, England, Jake shot to prominence when his debut album topped the UK charts, drawing comparisons to a young Bob Dylan—and now he’s in his thirties.

Released in November 2025 as the final track on the deluxe edition, the song is, true to its title, brimming with bright, sunlit vibes.

Its sprightly guitar pop and the lively feel unique to a full band are a pleasure to the ear, adding an open, breezy tone to the main album, which leans more toward social observation.

It’s perfect for those moments in the shift from autumn to winter when you want to hold on to just a hint of summer.

I Stay I Leave I Love I LoseJessie Murph

Jessie Murph – I Stay I Leave I Love I Lose (Official Visualizer)

This track, added to the deluxe edition of singer-songwriter Jessie Murph’s debut album Sex Hysteria, is a serene alternative R&B number that portrays the cycle of pain and codependent love passed down across generations.

While carrying trauma inherited from family, the protagonist finds themselves repeating the same patterns—a story conveyed poignantly through a husky vocal and delicate piano.

Released in November 2025, the song features contributions from powerhouse Nashville songwriters including Laura Veltz, who helped craft its narrative-driven lyrics.

It carefully depicts the struggle of staying in a relationship despite knowing it will hurt, and the gap between the illusion of being able to change someone and the reality.

It’s a track especially worth hearing for anyone grappling with dependency in relationships or feeling on the verge of losing themselves.

Johnny Orlando – The Crowd (Official Lyric Video)

Canadian singer-songwriter Johnny Orlando, who launched his music career with YouTube cover videos and won the MTV Europe Music Awards’ Best Canadian Act for four consecutive years, has released a new track via Position Music in November 2025.

Positioned as the second single from his sophomore album, the song delicately portrays a young person’s inner struggle to find their place in the crowd.

Marking a departure from his usual dance-pop sound, it adopts a guitar-driven, indie rock-leaning arrangement, with mixing that leverages the space of live instruments to highlight the lyrical nuance.

Co-crafted with producer SORAN, the track thoughtfully explores themes of identity shaken by others’ gaze and the act of self-affirmation, resulting in a mature piece of songwriting that resonates deeply with listeners.

This is a piano-led ballad that portrays the aching feeling of being unable to escape a past love that clings relentlessly.

George is a Japan-born singer and producer signed to the Asia-based label 88rising, and has released albums such as Nectar and SMITHEREENS.

This work was unveiled in November 2025 and was released ahead of the album Piss In The Wind, scheduled for February 2026.

The visionary image of an ex-lover’s face sticking to the wall—both in sleep and after waking—is delicately expressed through his wistful vocals and the piano’s lingering resonance.

Though it runs a brief 2 minutes and 46 seconds, the pain of being unable to break free from memory slowly sinks in.

Recommended for moments when you want to quietly face your own emotions.

With an acoustic guitar-forward sound, it marks a step beyond her previous alt-pop direction, offering a more personal narrative voice.

Co-written with Harrison Whitford—also known as a member of Phoebe Bridgers’ band—the track carries a touch of Americana.

It’s a perfect song for those who relate to a life on the road or who want to savor the lingering mood of a road movie.
