Talkbeabadoobee
On mornings when I’m not feeling my best, a song that gently gives me a push is beabadoobee’s “Talk.” It was released on March 24, 2022.
Its nostalgic 2000s rock vibe puts listeners at ease.
Beabadoobee is considered a popular artist in alternative rock and indie pop.
She’s set to perform at Summer Sonic 2022, which is being held for the first time in about three years! She also has an album slated for release in July, and I’m really looking forward to that too!
Head on FireGriff X Sigrid
“Head On Fire” is a collaboration between Griff, a British singer-songwriter hailed as the next leader of pop, and Sigrid, a Norwegian singer-songwriter.
Released on January 20, 2022, it’s a powerful track where their strong vocals blend perfectly with grand percussion and rich strings.
If you listen to it on a sluggish morning, it’s sure to fill you with energy.
CongratulationsSimple Plan
In the 2020s, amid a revival boom of 2000s pop-punk, Simple Plan—who celebrated the 20th anniversary of their 2002 major-label debut in 2022—remain indispensable as one of the genre’s key driving forces.
Hugely popular in Japan as well, they released their long-awaited album “Harder Than It Looks” in May 2022! It features the rich, seasoned songwriting you’d expect from veterans with a long career, while also packing in the fresh, energetic pop-punk of their early days—something longtime fans will especially appreciate.
“Congratulations” is a quintessential, no-holds-barred pop-punk banger packed with everything that makes the genre great.
Let’s kick off the day with the powerful voice of Pierre Bouvier—who, even in his forties, still sings with a boyish purity!
Caught Up (with Olivia O’Brien)Gryffin
Griffiths, a songwriter with undeniable talent and an exceptional multi-instrumentalist, has earned high praise for releasing melodic dance music in genres like tropical house.
While his recent collaboration with OneRepublic hinted at a new direction, his 2022 track Caught Up stays true to his signature melodic dance sound.
The song features Olivia O’Brien—born in 1999 and a rising Gen Z singer-songwriter—on vocals.
With its perfectly balanced, not-too-loud EDM production and her commanding voice, waking up to this track is guaranteed to leave you feeling refreshed.

This track starts with mellow keyboard tones.
It’s “Sweetest Pie,” a collaboration between female rapper Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa, the alto-voiced singer whose “Don’t Start Now” was a massive hit.
It was released on March 11, 2022.
The song showcases both artists’ sexiness and coolness.
Megan’s razor-sharp rap and Dua Lipa’s powerful vocals make it an outstanding track!
