Shut Up And DanceSophie and the Giants
A track with an energetic, catchy sound arrived from Sophie and the Giants in May 2024! Sophie’s powerful vocals sing about breaking free from loneliness and drowning in alcohol.
The lyrics, which urge listeners to lose themselves in the music and escape everyday stress, are sure to resonate.
It’s been praised by critics, and fans are showing an enthusiastic response by sharing dance routines on social media.
It’s the perfect song for amping up a party or getting lost in music on your own!
The First TestSPEED
Aiming to bring a fresh breeze into the hardcore punk scene, the new song from Australia’s band Speed stands out with powerful power chords and a mid-tempo groove.
The lyrics, reflecting their experiences as Asian Australians, depict the perspective of people who feel isolated in society and express a determination to carve their own path.
Released on May 29, 2024, the track will be included on their album “Only One Mode,” set for release on July 12 of the same year.
While influenced by contemporary New York hardcore, the song also embraces unconventional elements, such as a flute solo.
It’s a track that those who want to stay true to themselves—or who struggle to find their place in society—should absolutely hear.
Until I Found YouStephen Sanchez
Steven Sanchez became a star after a singing video he posted on social media went viral.
His appeal lies in his conversational singing style and gentle voice.
The best song to fully enjoy those qualities is “Until I Found You,” a classic love song that portrays a man who continues to think of one woman.
Its sound has a retro finish reminiscent of the 1980s.
If you’ve been feeling worn out lately, give it a listen and let it soothe you.
On & OnSuperorganism
Do you know Superorganism? They’re a UK band that debuted in 2017.
They played Fuji Rock in 2022 and even collaborated with Gen Hoshino, and their popularity is rising quickly here in Japan.
Their track “On & On” is a song that makes you reflect on life.
It’s especially one I’d like people who are worn out by the same routine every day to listen to.
By the time you finish the song, you’ll strangely find yourself feeling brighter.
Be sure to check out the lyrics, too!
greedyTate McRae
Greedy is a cool track by Canadian artist Tate McRae that portrays a confident, assertive woman.
It’s a dance tune layered with programmed beats, synthesizers, and sound effects, and its lyrics—briskly brushing off a man who approaches her at a bar—are refreshingly empowering.
Released as a single in 2023, it gained major traction on TikTok.
The music video, featuring sexy choreography on an ice rink, in a gym, and in a locker room, is also particularly memorable.
