Rescue MeOneRepublic
OneRepublic, the popular band led by Ryan Tedder—whose songwriting talents have been highly praised, including for providing the Jonas Brothers’ “Sucker”—released this track in May 2019 after a one-year hiatus.
The intro starts off quietly, but the groove is crafted to accelerate and burst open in the chorus.
The dance by the boy featured in the music video is another highlight.
The piece also has a humorous touch, with extensive use of CGI partway through that suddenly shifts the mood to something more serious.
FireHouse Of Protection
A punkish blast of sound featuring fierce guitar riffs and piercing, high-pitched sirens! This is the advance single from the American rock duo House of Protection—formed by former FEVER 333 members Aric Improta and Stephen Harrison—off their EP “Outrun You All,” slated for release in May 2025.
The track combines dance-inducing contagion with mosh-pit intensity, and drew major buzz during the band’s early-2025 Australia tour with Bad Omens and Poppy.
Songs from “Outrun You All” were produced by Jordan Fish, formerly of BRING ME THE HORIZON, brilliantly fusing explosive energy with electronic elements.
It’s a powerful cut that will ignite both the dance floor and the live house—don’t miss it.
Stop Playing With MeTyler, The Creator
A true maverick who effortlessly transcends the bounds of hip-hop, Tyler, the Creator delivers an ultra-groovy track that fuses funk and jazz.
It’s as if that pent-up “enough already” frustration is being transformed into dance over a thunderous beat.
His intense moves in the music video are a straight-up explosion of bottled-up energy.
The song is featured on the album “Don’t Tap the Glass,” which dropped unexpectedly in July 2025, and the video sparked huge buzz with appearances by big names like LeBron James.
It’s the perfect track for when you just want to move your body or blast away those lingering blues!

Ameerican-born IShowSpeed, who has expanded from the internet world into the music scene and garnered attention, has cemented his popularity with his emotionally charged streaming style on YouTube, and began pursuing music in earnest in 2021.
In 2022, the music video for his single “World Cup” surpassed 167 million views, showcasing his blossoming talent in music as well.
His track “Higher,” released in June 2025, is an up-tempo hip-hop number that lifts the listener’s spirits.
Centered on themes of positive feelings in love and an ever-upward ambition, the song powerfully encourages its listeners.
While it continues the sonic exploration from his previous EP “Trip 2 Brazil,” it also embraces a more pop-leaning appeal.
It’s a perfect piece for moments when you’re starting something new or need an energetic boost.
The Contracttwenty one pilots
Twenty One Pilots, a duo from Ohio, USA, deftly fuse a wide range of musical genres.
Their work released in June 2025 boasts an experimental sound that boldly incorporates elements of electropop, hip-hop, and even nu metal, resulting in a truly captivating finish.
The lyrics portray inner conflict and anxiety, as well as a sense of constraint brought on by a “contract,” weaving a narrative that invites listeners into deep introspection.
This track is a lead single from the album “Breach,” released in September 2025, marking a crucial chapter in a long-running storyline.
It’s also intriguing that the music video was filmed right after their performance in May 2025.
It’s a song I’d recommend not only to fans of the grand narrative, but also to those seeking a stimulating sonic experience.

Since their styles are similar, the track also stands out for its overall sense of cohesion.
