Queer Scottish, soul-pop musician Joesef delivers an authentic, emotional, and truly exceptional debut album with Permanent Damage.

Italian band Måneskin have a bone to pick with Los Angeles and its superficiality on “GOSSIP,” the fifth single from their 2023 album, RUSH!.

Sam Smith, Koffee & Jessie Reyez join forces for the entertaining, infectious, and naughty “Gimme,” the third single from Smith’s fourth LP.

Miley Cyrus turns lemon into sweet lemonade on “Flowers,” the groovy promo single from her eighth studio album, Endless Summer Vacation.

Popcaan and Drake deliver a vibe in the single “We Caa Done” which is sure to provide summery vibes despite its winter release date.

Pop singer/songwriter Ryan Mack shines on his relatable and vulnerable single, “Did You Love Me Ever?”

Skrillex, PinkPantheress, and Trippie Redd successfully collaborate on the brief and utterly enjoyable single, “Way Back.”

R&B artist Queen Naija shines on her first single of 2023, the authentic, honest, and unapologetic ballad, “Let’s Talk About It.”

Despite a long wait, SZA makes a compelling comeback with her lengthy but high-quality sophomore album, SOS.

The ever-ascending Ice Spice is cocky and confident to the nth degree on “In Ha Mood,” her first single of 2023.

Dutch DJ/producer extraordinaire Tiësto serves up another surefire dance bop with the brief put potent, “Lay Low.”
