Samara Cyn, Smino – brand new teeth (Official Video)

A collaborative track by singer-rapper Samara Shin, a Tennessee native now based in Los Angeles, and St.

Louis rapper Smino was released in May 2025.

It’s an introspective piece themed around rising fame and the pressure that comes with it, reflecting on the symbolism of grills in Southern Black culture.

The multilayered beat—shifting from mellow jazz to classical orchestration—stands out, while the profound lyrics resonate as they depict the traps of wealth and the struggles of contemporary society.

The track is also included on the EP “Backroads,” slated for a June release, and it’s a song best absorbed in the stillness of the night.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra – BOYS WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF WOLVES

Unknown Mortal Orchestra is a psychedelic rock band originally from New Zealand and now based in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Formed in 2009 by Ruban Nielson, they released this track in May 2025—a dark tune marked by a heavy, Black Sabbath–esque riff and taut, tension-filled drumming.

It’s the lead single from the EP “CURSE,” slated for release on June 18, and part of a body of work inspired by Italian horror films from the 1970s and 1980s.

Showcasing distinctly metal-leaning elements that set it apart from UMO’s past output, it’s a must-listen for anyone into psych rock or heavy sounds.

Yellowcard – Better Days (Official Music Video)

This track is the lead single from the Florida-born pop-punk favorites Yellowcard—known for featuring a violinist—and comes from their first full-length album in about nine years, where they sing candidly about themes like gratitude, forgiveness, and hope.

Produced and drummed by Blink-182’s Travis Barker, it brilliantly fuses the band’s matured musicianship with fresh creativity.

It’s also the title track of the self-titled album slated for release in October 2025, and its unique music video—featuring the members dressed as characters from 1980s films—has been generating buzz.

It’s a song I highly recommend for anyone feeling worn out by life or ready to make a fresh start.
