Reminds Me (ft. Katie Gavin)Sarah McLachlan
Sarah McLachlan is one of Canada’s most iconic singer-songwriters, and her 1997 masterpiece Surfacing achieved worldwide success.
Her new song here carries on that legacy.
If we had to sum it up in a word, it’s a pure, country-tinged love song dedicated to someone special.
The story that she wrote it during the pandemic for an anniversary with her partner further conveys its sentimental spirit.
The dreamy shimmer of the pedal steel and the beautiful harmonies with MUNA’s Katie Gavin warm the heart.
The track will appear on Better Broken, her first album in about nine years, set for release in September 2025.
It’s perfect for a romantic evening—be sure to check it out.
Ride The Wings Of PestilenceFrom First To Last
In the mid-2000s screamo scene, From First to Last rose from the internet to immense popularity and became an iconic presence.
The track in question, included on their classic album “Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Bodycount,” distills their early impulse and appeal.
Fans around the world went wild for the intense interplay between the crystalline clean vocals of Sonny Moore—then just 16 and later globally famous as Skrillex—and his raw, emotionally charged screams.
The lyrics depict a dark tale of obsession so warped it borders on impersonation, yet the melodies are irresistibly catchy in contrast.
In 2004, the song was also featured on a well-known Epitaph compilation, cementing it as the band’s calling card.
It’s this precarious balance of sweetness and aggression that truly defines their value.
Radio Music SocietyEsperanza Spalding
Esperanza Spalding, who also shines as a jazz bassist, captivates many listeners with her wide-ranging, high-sense musicality.
The masterpiece she created in March 2012 is Radio Music Society.
The album is themed around the sparkle of serendipitous encounters with music on the radio, offering an exceptionally stylish sound where the glamour of big band and the comfortable groove of R&B meld together.
Expressing the magic of music that adds color to everyday life, this work won Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 55th Grammy Awards.
Its refined yet warm tones will make a meal in a lively, conversational restaurant feel all the more special.
Rabbit SeasonMachine Girl
Machine Girl is an electronic music project that launched in New York in 2012.
Fusing styles like digital hardcore and breakcore, they specialize in an incredibly aggressive sound and have built a fervent following in the underground scene.
This new track is a lead single from their album Psycho Warrior (MG Ultra X), released in September 2025.
The album takes a very cynical look at people who get sucked into internet conspiracy theories.
In genres like this, the extremity of the sound tends to hog the spotlight, but this song is different: its twisted pop sensibility really sticks with you, pairing dark subject matter with a deliberately cartoonish, bouncing, high‑speed beat.
It’s a track I especially recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy the unique satirical edge hidden within extreme music.

Reinventing Your ExitUnderoath
Whether it’s fair to call Underoath straight-up “screamo” is up for debate, but their influence on the scene from the mid-2000s onward is immeasurable.
With their second vocalist on board, the band rocketed to stardom with the 2004 classic They’re Only Chasing Safety.
This song centers on the wrenching struggle of how to reconstruct an “exit” that signifies the end of a relationship or a parting of ways.
The ferocious screams embody the thrashing turmoil, while the gorgeous clean vocals convey sorrow—the vivid contrast grabs you by the heart.
The track also appears in the Rock Band video game series.
Originally having a pop-leaning feel, it was chosen as a single for that reason, making it an ideal entry point into screamo as well.
When you want to surrender yourself to a whirlpool of emotion, this fusion of fury and beauty delivers a supreme catharsis.
Rock Me MamaArthur Crudup
Arthur Crudup, who electrified Delta blues and laid the groundwork for rock ’n’ roll, is known as one of the “Fathers of Rock ’n’ Roll” and had a profound impact on the history of the blues.
The piece introduced here is one of his most acclaimed songs, showcasing the rustic resonance of acoustic guitar and richly emotive vocals.
It sings of intimate affection—a wish to be gently stirred by someone precious—and conveys the warmth characteristic of the blues.
First recorded in 1944, it reached No.
3 on the R&B chart the following year, 1945.
It’s a perfect work for anyone wanting to experience the depth of the blues.
Red, White and JerseyBon Jovi
Here comes a quintessential Bon Jovi powerhouse—a proud, full-throttle rock anthem! The sound, boldly proclaiming unwavering love and pride for the band’s home state of New Jersey, is absolutely overwhelming.
With the backdrop of Jon Bon Jovi having overcome the major challenge of vocal cord surgery during its creation, his singing radiates a force that seems to defy adversity.
This track is part of a re-recording project from the June 2024 album “Forever,” and will be included on “Forever (Legendary Edition),” set for release in October 2025.
Its dramatic, stadium-sized production practically invites a massive sing-along, and if you listen when you need a lift, it just might give you the powerful push you’re looking for.
