You SayLauren Daigle
You Say, released in July 2018 by American singer-songwriter Lauren Daigle.
She is a songstress who achieved the remarkable feat of debuting at No.
3 on the U.S.
charts.
Speaking about You Say, she said, “It became the support for my heart, my place of refuge, and it gave me truth.” Please enjoy this powerful ballad that conveys her deep passion.
BodyLoud Luxury feat. brando
A track by Loud Luxury, the duo making major waves in the dance music scene.
The fresh, airy intro is driven by crisp snaps.
In true EDM fashion, the gradual build-up feels incredibly pleasant! Just when you expect it to burst into a flashy chorus, the bass comes in stronger, yet the overall progression stays slightly restrained—in a very appealing way.
The breezy vibe lasts throughout, and it’s the kind of song that leaves you feeling refreshed when you’re feeling down.
Last Man StandingLivingston
Mr.
Livingston is gaining attention with his song “Last Man Standing,” which portrays a deep devotion to a loved one.
Released in 2024, the track reflects on experiences from traveling the world and declares that true love and connection matter most.
Rich in musicality, the piece carries a message that values deep human relationships over material worth or social status.
Its simple, resonant melody has been embraced by many and has moved listeners.
It’s the perfect song for stepping away from the noise of everyday life to reflect on the importance of love, or when thinking of someone special.
Stand By YouRachel Platten
This song by American singer-songwriter Rachel Platten is one I want you to listen to when you feel like no one is on your side.
The powerful way Rachel sings, “I’ll be by your side no matter what,” gives you the courage to realize you’re not alone.
Obey with YUNGBLUDBring Me The Horizon
For anyone who wants to get pumped up with a refreshing rock track—featuring loud-as-hell guitars, a heavy rhythm, full-on shouts, and still a singable melody—this song comes highly recommended! It’s a single released in September 2020 by Bring Me The Horizon, now one of the UK’s flagship rock bands and hugely popular here in Japan as well, and it also made waves for featuring fellow UK rising star YUNGBLUD.
Bring Me The Horizon started out as a brutally heavy deathcore band, but over the years they’ve shifted toward a more polished sound.
Obey, which sees frontman Oliver Sykes unleashing fierce screams for the first time in a while, was warmly received by fans who had been waiting for a heavier BMTH.
That said, their knack for crafting something properly catchy is as sharp as ever, making this a cool track that’s also easy to recommend to listeners who find overly heavy music a bit much.
