Adanna Duru, MNEK – WILL SMITH

An international collaboration between California-born singer-songwriter Adanna Duru and UK powerhouse singer-producer MNEK came to fruition in November 2025.

The Afropop track crafted by these two artists, who both have Nigerian roots, packs dancefloor-shaking beats and soulful harmonies into a compact runtime of about two minutes and forty seconds.

The lyrics portray a confident protagonist who steps into the club with a fresh style and effortlessly captivates their target, shaping the song into a nightlife anthem that fully embraces personal allure and sexuality.

Its title borrows the name of an actor-rapper, a playful nod that underscores its appeal as a party tune anyone can enjoy.

If you’re looking to turn up the energy in the club or on your playlist, this is a must-check.

Floating AwayAlison Wonderland

Alison Wonderland – Floating Away

Alison Wonderland has achieved global success with electronic music rooted in trap and future bass.

The Australian DJ and producer has an unconventional background as a classically trained cellist.

Released in November 2025, this track was unveiled as a lead single from her fourth album, “GHOST WORLD.” It features speed house–style high-tempo beats and entrancing synths, sonically conveying a sensation of “floating,” just as the title suggests.

Depicting the moment when one is freed from the weight of reality and the heart feels lighter, this piece offers a soothing sense of release—perfect for listening when everyday life feels exhausting.

The HandAnnabelle Dinda

Annabelle Dinda – The Hand (Lyric Video)

Singer-songwriter Annabelle Dinda, based in New York.

She studied storytelling through music and language at New York University, and has steadily grown her fan base via streaming platforms with an indie folk and indie rock style that evolved from simple voice-and-guitar performances.

Her track released in November 2025 is a powerful anthem centered on the theme of “vocal visibility” faced by women creators.

While men’s expressions are lionized as heroic, women’s words are dismissed as merely emotional—she captures this reality with sharp lyrics woven from metaphor and repetition.

Layered choruses mount over acoustic guitar strums, transforming introspective narration into collective uplift with masterful structure.

A snippet of her acoustic performance on TikTok has racked up millions of views, and the buzz has only grown since the official release.

California Games (feat. Earl Sweatshirt)

A track featuring Earl Sweatshirt from Mercy, a collaborative album by Armand Hammer—the duo of billy woods and ELUCID, leaders of New York’s underground hip-hop—and the renowned producer The Alchemist.

Released in November 2025, the record weaves flutes and choral lines reminiscent of ’70s psychedelic soul into a visionary soundscape that feels like a lament rising toward the heavens.

In a modern society where violence seeps into the everyday, the lyrics—abstract yet sharply observant—confront numbness while tracing tension and loyalty, vigilance and self-preservation.

It’s a late-album highlight that once again proves the chemistry among the three artists, who previously collaborated on Haram.

Billy Woods, a heavyweight of underground hip-hop, and producer August Fanon suddenly dropped an experimental album called “gowillog” in October 2025, and one track featuring Aesop Rock was also released as a single.

Fanon’s beats layer noise and shards of jazz into something ominous, brimming with the tension of a horror movie soundtrack.

Over that, Woods delivers historical violence and social critique in a low, restrained voice, intertwined with Aesop’s intricate wordplay, giving you the sensation of walking through a nightmare.

It’s a perfect pick for those tired of mainstream hip-hop or anyone who wants to savor the weight of words.

PrincessBENEE

BENEE – Princess (Lyric Video)

New Zealand singer-songwriter BENEE broke through in 2019 and has captivated listeners worldwide with her breezy pop sensibility and introspective lyrics.

In November 2025, she released her second album, “Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles.” Placed near the end of the album, this R&B-pop track stands out with its glossy, Auto-Tuned sheen and buoyant beat.

It’s a buoyant declaration of self-worth—insisting she be treated like a princess—paired with a playful tussle for control in romance.

Here, the typically introspective artist deliberately takes on an outward-facing, confident persona, resulting in a song that symbolizes the album’s upward arc, where nightlife euphoria coexists with a fantastical worldview.

It’s perfect for pumping yourself up before a night out or for letting loose on the dance floor.

Dandy HooliganBabyshambles

Babyshambles – Dandy Hooligan (Official Video)

Born as an offshoot of The Libertines—icons of the UK indie scene in the 2000s—Pete Doherty’s Babyshambles have made a triumphant comeback with their first new song in 12 years.

Released in November, the track blends reggae and ska foundations with a distinctly British pop sensibility, resulting in a stylish, polished finish.

Its title pays homage to a real-life figure involved in the anti-Nazi movement, capturing a rebellious spirit and the feel of the streets beneath a dapper exterior.

Produced by Mike Moore, known for his work with Baxter Dury, and mixed by Ross Orton of Arctic Monkeys fame, it fuses a taut, held-back groove with sweet melodies to exquisite effect.

Alongside the reunion tour starting in November and the 20th-anniversary edition of their debut Down in Albion due in December, it’s the perfect moment to celebrate their return.
