Latest Western Music Releases [November 2025]

Katy Perry – bandaids (Official Video)

Katy Perry, who has long led the scene as the queen of pop, returns with a new single in November 2025—about a year after her 2024 album “143.” The song is a wistful ballad that likens the end of a long-term relationship to a “bandage.” It carefully portrays the protagonist’s struggle to move forward while covering up the wound, blending a modern production with the pop-rock sensibility reminiscent of her early classic “One of the Boys.” The music video depicts a string of misfortunes with a heavy dose of black humor, leaving a strong impression with its distinctive world where pain and laughter coexist.

It’s a must-listen for anyone trying to recover from a breakup or for those who value subtle emotional nuance.

Out The WindowKehlani

Kehlani – Out The Window (Official Audio)

Kehlani, one of the most popular R&B singers from Oakland, California, returns with a track released in November 2025—an R&B ballad that lays bare the desperate desire to hold on to a relationship on the verge of collapse.

It reflects on realizations that came too late, and regrets over past mistakes like late-night wandering and half-truths.

Casting all of that out the window, the song conveys a resolve to start over, carried by sigh-laced vocals and the tone of electric piano that evokes the early 2000s.

Produced by Antonio Dixon and Chris Riddick-Tynes, it’s her second single of 2025 following the US Top 10 hit “Folded,” and it functions as an introspective piece pointing toward the next album.

Her sincere voice, weaving a tale of longing and redemption in familiar, everyday language, lands with an intimate, whisper-close presence.

The Atlanta-born rapper Ken Carson’s new song, released in November 2025, is a rousing trap tune titled after the luxury maison “Maison Margiela.” Dropped as the third consecutive single following his U.S.

No.

1 album More Chaos, the track flaunts a rockstar lifestyle draped in high-end brands, the frenzy of touring, and a hedonistic party life, portraying luxury fashion as a testament to his success.

Featuring distorted 808s and noisy synths crafted by multiple producers including 16yrold, the heavily Auto-Tuned vocals create a cyberpunk-like texture.

Designed with mosh pits in mind, the live-oriented sound is chaotic yet highly addictive.

Know YouKevin Atwater

Kevin Atwater – Know You (Official Visualizer)

Kevin Atwater is a New York–based singer-songwriter who first gained attention on TikTok.

After releasing the EPs “retriever” in 2022 and “Downers Grove” in 2023, he dropped his debut album “Achilles” in March 2025.

He’s steadily building support for his delicate portrayals of love and inner conflict from a queer perspective.

His new song, released in November 2025, marks an important track heralding a new chapter after the album.

While physically intimate yet emotionally distant, the song captures a bittersweet relationship, with his gentle vocals conveying the urgent desire to truly know the other person, even as he’s buffeted by them.

The minimalist, spacious production by Hazy Eyes is exceptional, too, making this an intimate love song where his whisper-like voice reaches you directly.

The Day That I DieLewis Capaldi

Lewis Capaldi – The Day That I Die (Official Visualizer)

After a long hiatus, Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi made his comeback in November 2025 with the EP “Survive.” This song is one of its tracks and serves as the closing number.

It delivers an earnest message to the family he would leave behind after his death, with heartfelt thoughts addressed to his mother, father, sister, and friends, conveyed through his husky vocals.

Beginning with a quiet piano, the arrangement gradually layers in strings and drums, transforming an intimate confession into a sweeping prayer—an exceptional structure.

Capaldi has said it’s a song he wrote about the lowest period of his life, and the days he spent confronting his mental health have crystallized into a ballad that could be called the crowning achievement of his career.

Otha BoyLil Baby

Lil Baby – Otha Boy

Lil Baby, the don of Atlanta.

He’s a Grammy winner, yet even after his 2025 album “WHAM” hit No.

1 on the Billboard charts, he’s kept leading the streaming front with his weekly release series, “Wham Wednesdays.” The self-titled track dropped in November 2025, and while it follows the Southside trap lineage, it stands out for lyrics that grapple with heavy themes of loyalty and betrayal.

Its metaphor-laden foray into his relationships sparked immediate buzz upon release, with some even speculating it might contain subliminal disses.

Powered by TM88’s icy synth pads and thunderous 808s, the track rides on Lil Baby’s meticulous flow, delivering both a bird’s-eye view of the streets and a melodically nuanced cadence.
