Tommy Richman – BOTHER ME (feat. Brent Faiyaz)

Are you familiar with Tommy Richman, the Virginia-born artist who sparked a global sensation in 2024 with “Million Dollar Baby”? Among the tracks on his EP “WORLDS APART*,” released in November 2025, this one shines particularly bright.

Featuring Brent Faiyaz—an influential R&B figure and the head of his own label—this collaboration is a mellow number wrapped in a nostalgic 90s R&B vibe.

Its themes weave between the hardships of his days working for minimum wage and the lingering loneliness that persists even after achieving success, revealing the raw emotions behind a glamorous world.

HARDFKA Twigs

FKA twigs – HARD

From the album Eusexua Afterglow, which portrays the heat of a rave, the silence that follows, and the disalignment of body and mind—this is FKA twigs’s third single, released in November 2025.

Heavy 808s influenced by trap and Atlanta bass intertwine with mechanical synths and syncopated beats, crafting a unique sonic image where club euphoria coexists with introspective loneliness.

Her vocals move freely from whispery falsetto to raw, exposed emotion, vividly expressing the conflict between physical intimacy and love, and the anxiety over how far she can lay bare her own boundaries within the relationship.

It’s a track that balances the force of club music with pop-song precision, symbolizing a new chapter in her career.
