Post Malone – Circles

A Post Malone track that depicts a relationship at an impasse, set to a gentle melody.

Released in August 2019, this breakup song uses a soft rock sound to portray a romance stuck in the same looping dead end.

It spent three weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and an unprecedented 39 weeks in the Top 10.

Featured on the album Hollywood’s Bleeding, it captivates with a soothing groove woven from acoustic guitar and airy synths.

Despite its irresistibly singable melody, it expresses the ache of being unable to move forward.

As you step into a new year and look to reset your mindset, this is the perfect song to help you face lingering feelings from the past.

Can’t StopRed Hot Chili Peppers

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Can’t Stop [Official Music Video]

Red Hot Chili Peppers, the legendary rock band born in California.

Released as a single in 2003 from their 2002 album “By the Way,” this track is a high-octane number that fuses funk rock and rap rock.

Its lyrics carry a message of refusing to hold back the energy that wells up inside and living life as the main event, not just a rehearsal—perfect for anyone who wants to charge into the new year with momentum.

In fact, it was performed at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, leaving a global impression of unstoppable drive and relentless forward motion.

It’s also used as the entrance music for players at the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams home games, making it a beloved staple for energizing sports scenes.

A highly recommended song for anyone looking to accelerate from day one of the new year!

Cudi ZoneKid Cudi

Cudi Zone

Kid Cudi, known for introspective lyrics and psychedelic soundscapes.

Featured on his 2009 debut album, “Man on the Moon: The End of Day,” this track portrays the sensation of immersing oneself into the inner world—the “zone.” The lyrics introduce motifs of nightmares and anxiety that arrive in November, sketching a psychological landscape of solitary nights.

Yet it’s not mere escapism; there’s a resilient power that transforms darkness into creativity through dialogue with the shadows.

Produced by Emile Haynie, the sound—where airy synths and lingering strings blend exquisitely—perfectly matches the wistful atmosphere of late autumn.

It’s a recommended listen for moments when you want to face your inner self or sink into quiet contemplation at night.

CAPITAL IAndrew Bird

Andrew Bird – Capital I (Official Video)

From recordings revived after twenty years, the essence of Chicago-school baroque pop resounds.

An unreleased track Andrew Bird recorded in an Illinois hayloft during the sessions for his 2005 album “Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs.” This piece will appear on the album’s 20th-anniversary edition, slated for February 2026, and its multilayered violin textures, whistled melodic lines, and wood-warmed resonance bottle the creative heat of that era as-is.

Its wordplay-driven theme of divided and proliferating selves marks the source of a lineage that would evolve into the later signature song “Imitosis.” It’s a track I especially recommend to anyone who wants to savor the moment where chamber-like intricacy intersects with folk simplicity.

NOTHING – ‘cannibal world’ (Official Music Video)

Philadelphia shoegaze band Nothing have unveiled the lead single from their first album in six years, “a short history of decay.” Due in February 2026, the group’s fifth full-length was created by the current five-piece centered around Domenic Palermo and recorded at Sonic Ranch in Texas.

Anchored by drummer Zachary Jones’s breakbeats, the record delivers an aggressive blend of towering walls of fuzz and reverberant wash.

Lyrically, it intertwines a marrow-deep lethargy with paradoxes like “the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” sustaining an introspective message that double-exposes personal deterioration against global hunger.

Their unflinching engagement with aging and the weight of memory further refines a signature aesthetic where sonic violence coexists with fragile lyricism.

A long-awaited return to Japan is also planned for February 2026, so be sure to keep an eye out.

Cherry BlueOneohtrix Point Never

Oneohtrix Point Never – Cherry Blue (Official Video)

Oneohtrix Point Never, Daniel Lopatin’s solo project that continually explores the boundary between experimental music and pop.

The advance track drawing attention from the album “Tranquilizer,” slated for release in November 2025, is a work unveiled alongside the first-ever directed music video by French contemporary artist Pol Taburet.

Balancing luscious synthesizers with cool, digital processing, the piece sonically expresses the duality suggested by its title, “Red and Blue,” sketching a lyricism that hovers on the border between emotional sedation and exhilaration.

The video symbolically arranges starkly opposing motifs—life and death, body and spirit—merging sight and sound to surface themes of memory and transformation.

It’s a perfect track for anyone who wants to experience his approach to probing emotion-processing in the digital age through sound.

Cardinal In The Crossfirenothing,nowhere.

nothing,nowhere. – Cardinal In The Crossfire

Active since 2015 as a standard-bearer of emo rap, nothing,nowhere.

has drawn attention with a unique style that fuses acoustic emo and trap.

His 2023 album VOID ETERNAL made waves for boldly incorporating post-hardcore and metalcore elements.

After declaring independence in 2024, he has continued releasing music at a remarkable pace of four projects a year, and this track was released in October 2025.

Using the metaphor of a red bird caught in a crossfire, the song portrays a heart swaying between vulnerability and conviction, resulting in a cinematic finish where melodic vocals weave through a towering wall of guitars.

Teaming up with loud-leaning producer KJ Strock and others, the hefty sound promises to ignite live crowds as well.
