Laufey – From The Start (Official Music Video)

“From The Start,” released in May 2023 by Icelandic, talent-rich singer Laufey, is a tender, warm mid-tempo ballad set to soothing jazz-pop.

As you can tell from lyrics that carry the nuance of “I loved you from the start,” the song distills the tension and secret feelings of a one-sided love for a friend, with the power to evoke emotions listeners have kept tucked away in their own hearts.

Unrequited love can be poignant and at times painful, but this track will soothe and lighten the hearts of those who listen.

Beabadoobee’s “Glue Song,” released in 2023, is a ballad that soothes listeners with romantic lyrics comparing a relationship to glue, a beautiful melody, and an arrangement warmly woven with trumpet and strings.

Capturing the joy of falling in love, the song strikes a delicate balance to create an effortlessly pleasant tune that will bring happiness not only to those starting a new romance but to all listeners.

The music video, filmed in the Philippines—her homeland as a Filipino-British artist—is equally healing, so be sure to check it out.

Candlelight FadesBlue

Blue – Candlelight Fades (Official Audio)

Blue, the London-born boy band that defined the early 2000s UK pop scene with a string of hits—just hearing their name will spark nostalgia for many Western music fans.

This track is a gemlike ballad released from their upcoming album “Reflections,” slated for January 2026.

Using candlelight as a metaphor, it explores the theme of deep love that stays by your side through all times.

The melody, co-written by member Antony Costa, beautifully highlights their increasingly mature choral harmonies.

It’s a warm song, perfect for spending time with someone special on a cold winter night while gazing at a quietly flickering flame.

Be sure to give it a listen.

ReuniteAllie X

Allie X – Reunite (Visualizer)

The new song released in October 2025 by Canadian singer-songwriter Allie X is a powerful work centered on the theme of reintegrating a self that has been crushed by the pressures of life and fragmented.

It delivers a message celebrating reconciliation with one’s own body, reflecting the deep introspection unique to an artist who has grappled with an autoimmune disease for many years.

The distinctive production—melding baroque-style classical instrumentation with contemporary electropop—is superb, creating a world where nostalgia and hope intersect.

This track is the second single from the forthcoming album “Happiness Is Going to Get You,” which will feature 12 songs, heightening anticipation for its release.

It’s a song I highly recommend to anyone who is facing themselves and striving to move forward.

CinnamonBENEE

BENEE – Cinnamon (Official Video)

BENEE, the New Zealand singer-songwriter known for her global TikTok hit “Supalonely,” released this new track in August 2025.

Set to a bouncy electropop sound, it captures her personal feelings amid the chaos of moving to LA, expressing a wish to remain sweet and kind.

A highlight is the bridge featuring her friend Sora’s cello—so moving it brings BENEE herself to tears.

The song is a lead single from her second album, “Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles,” due out in November 2025, which also includes a track featured on the Minecraft Movie soundtrack.

It’s the kind of song that will likely make you feel gentle and reassured when you’re feeling a bit uneasy in a new environment.
