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!

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.
