BAD OMENS – Left For Good (Official Music Video)

Bad Omens, the metalcore band from Richmond, Virginia, are releasing a fantastic new track in November 2025.

Since their 2016 debut, they’ve been earning acclaim for a distinctive sound that fuses heavy metalcore with electronic and R&B elements.

This song is the fourth single from the EP of the same name, LEFT FOR GOOD, and it portrays the protagonist’s struggle as they confront a relationship lost forever and face their own inner self.

The arrangement is striking, with Noah Sebastian’s delicate clean vocals and explosive shouts intersecting over dark industrial textures and icy synth beats.

Capturing the lingering attachment to a finished relationship and the torment of self-contradiction in sound, this work is sure to resonate deeply with anyone wrestling with similar doubts.

Big K.R.I.T., the rapper-producer from Mississippi.

A longtime standard-bearer for the scene as a true evolution of Southern hip-hop, his new track released in November 2025 is an ambitious piece themed around mileage.

The track’s bass-heavy 808s and brassy textures deliver a quintessential trunk-rattling riding music experience.

While painting car culture, it also carries a resolve to leave comfort behind and head toward the next destination—reflecting a career that has moved between major labels and independence.

Highly recommended for those who want to blast something loud on a drive or feel the tradition of Southern rap.

NPCCavetown

Cavetown – “NPC” (Official Audio)

Known as a standard-bearer of bedroom pop, Cavetown—Robin Skinner—released a track in November 2025 that portrays the sense of self-alienation he felt while living on tour.

As the title “Non-Player Character” suggests, the song expresses the feeling of becoming part of the background rather than the protagonist of one’s own story.

It’s also intriguing that the creative background involves reinterpreting the imaginary friend he had as a child as a mirror image of his adult self—always on the move and unable to return home.

Sonically, it adds pop-punk drive to his signature soft textures, featuring brisk, fast-paced verses and an uplifting, anthemic chorus.

As a lead single from the album “Running With Scissors,” slated for release in January 2026, it signals a new musical challenge for him.

It’s a track that those who feel on the verge of losing themselves while trying to keep up with the speed of modern life should especially hear.

People Always ChangeCeleste

People Always Change

Celeste, the standard-bearer of British soul who was selected for BBC Sound of 2020 and also won the BRIT Awards’ Rising Star, has released her long-awaited second album, “Woman Of Faces,” in November 2025—four years after her UK No.1 debut, “Not Your Muse.” The sixth track, a piano ballad, features a striking descending piano motif inspired by Philip Glass’s minimalism, and quietly contrasts the people who change with the self that cannot.

It gives voice to the pain of being the only one left in the same place while lovers and friends move forward.

Reflecting her own feelings from the post-pandemic period of stagnation, the song serves as the emotional core of the album.

It’s perfect for late-night solitude, when you want to face the depths of your heart.

Chains of LoveCharli XCX

Charli xcx – Chains of Love (Official Video)

Charli XCX, who drew major attention with the 2024 club-pop masterpiece Brat, is releasing the second single from Wuthering Heights—the soundtrack album she created for Emerald Fennell’s film Wuthering Heights—arriving in November 2025.

The track is a romantic ballad foregrounding strings, yet it’s a hybrid pop cut that fuses distorted synths and hard-hitting beats.

Charli’s urgent vocals convey the protagonist’s pain and obsession, trapped by the chains of love.

Producers Finn Keane and Justin Raisen—who worked on her early album True Romance—join to craft a sound world that’s both elegant and brutal.

The song is also featured in the film’s trailer, which stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, and it’s a must-listen for anyone drawn to ruinous love stories.

House (featuring John Cale)Charli XCX

Charli xcx – House featuring John Cale (Official Video)

In November 2025, Charli XCX—who scored a global hit with 2024’s BRAT—released a track created in collaboration with John Cale, a founding member of The Velvet Underground.

Written specifically for Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel Wuthering Heights, the original song features a strikingly gothic and experimental sound inspired by Cale’s aesthetic of being “elegant yet brutal.” Layered distorted strings, metallic drones, and noisy guitars coalesce as Cale’s weathered spoken word and Charli’s screams rise like a mutant collage, marking a clear turn from her previous, more dance-oriented work into a mood piece.

The film is slated for release in February 2026, and Charli is reportedly contributing multiple original songs.

Bad LuckD-Block Europe

D-Block Europe – Bad Luck (Official Music Video)

D-Block Europe are a hip-hop duo from Lewisham in southeast London, UK.

Regular fixtures in the upper reaches of the UK charts, they’ve carved out their own “trap wave” style that blends trap with melodic, Auto-Tuned vocals.

This is a single from their mixtape PTSD 2, released in November 2025, and it delivers a tense portrait of a relationship on the verge of collapse.

The intro features dialogue from the film Goodfellas, setting a tone of broken trust.

In the hook, they repeatedly call the other person “bad,” spilling out regret and frustration, while the verses sketch the hazards of a street life where drugs and violence are routine.

Sugary, wistful synths, tight 808 bass, and the duo’s contrasting vocal textures create a floating feel, packing their signature world—where success and instability coexist—into one track.
