Scared of MyselfAlexander Stewart

Alexander Stewart – Scared of Myself (Official)

Alexander Stewart is a Canadian singer-songwriter who built his career on YouTube and has earned overwhelming support from young listeners with lyrics that candidly portray emotional pain.

Released in August 2025 on his birthday, this track is set to appear on his forthcoming second album, “What If?”.

It’s an emotional pop number that delves into an intensely introspective struggle: the fear of confronting one’s own thoughts and past.

He has said that making the song itself was healing, and his bare-all vocal delivery is sure to resonate with—and bring comfort to—many who harbor similar darkness in their hearts.

A melancholy melody that pierces the chest, this is a gem of a mid-tempo tune.

Mary J. Blige – Be Happy

This is a track by Mary J.

Blige, a legendary R&B songstress.

Set over a funky, sample-driven, black-music-inspired beat, it delivers a powerful message—don’t worry, you’re sure to find happiness—that resonates deeply.

It’s an uplifting anthem that helps you cultivate beauty and strength from within.

RicochetRise Against

Rise Against – Ricochet (Official Video)

A powerful track from Rise Against, the Chicago punk rock band, themed around the “ricochet effect,” where our actions ripple onward for better or worse.

The song cuts sharply into the distortions of modern society—political violence, false promises to the youth—yet at its core it carries a clear sense of hope.

Their classic punk sound, now even more intense and uplifting, feels like it awakens a dormant passion in the listener.

It’s included on the album Ricochet, slated for release in August 2025, and with a co-headlining tour with Papa Roach on the way, anticipation is high for a blazing live performance.

If you’re socially conscious yet craving energizing positivity, this is a must-hear track.
