Mira Housey’s new song, I Just Remembered!, is a post-breakup adult contemporary/pop song. It takes place in the final stage of a breakup: acceptance. After denial, shock, anger, bargaining, and depression, you now have to accept that you’re not getting back together with that person and move forward. It feels like the weight of the world is lifted off your shoulders and you can focus on loving yourself now. It’s not the type of breakup song you’re going to cry listening to. It’s the type to make you hold your head high and walk with confidence as you embrace your single era. While we crave romantic love, a lot of us struggle to obtain self-love until we get our hearts broken. I Just Remembered! doesn’t waste any time jumping into the first verse. Lyrics such as “Bought me a latte and paid in cash, then took the memory of you out with the trash” and “And thank god, you're not a pro athlete, the way you fumbled me” focus on forgetting her ex. In contrast, lyrics like “I just remembered, I’m me and I’m so ‘yes please’ and not to be dramatic, but I'm the whole package, baby” serve as self-affirmations to boost her morale. The replay value is high because it brings a fun and happy vibe to a major life change. I’m adding this to my current playlist because it’s the type of feel good song I’m craving this summer. Mira Housey is a songwriter and producer hailing from Detroit, Michigan. She joined Rick Rubin’s studio in Malibu in 2021 and signed a deal with Autumn Rowe and Spirit Music Group in 2024.

Alexa Kate’s latest song, “wish i met you when,” is like passing through a once-warm ghost town, with the melancholy that you can’t relive the same feeling. When the desire’s strong, the potholes and construction signs don’t turn us away—there’s hope to fix it, to stay in the city that holds glowing memories. But is it possible to grow surrounded by damage? The message remains the same with the people we love—the people who want casual when we want an emotional connection. Alexa Kate sings, “You told me you couldn’t commit and then you’d kiss me like you were lying.” Like many of us, she fantasizes about a time when they would both be healed and truly enjoy life together. The ideas sting like finding gold fading off a locket deep in the glove compartment. One happy photo sparks the question, “What if things were different?” The emotional tug-of-war pours out in the acoustic guitar against the electronic drum set. Nostalgia flows through the strumming, like catching a glimpse of fireflies on their front porch. It pulls out this tender desire, lingering to relive the experience. The electronic drum set and catchy rhythm replicate how time keeps moving us forward despite our magnetic attraction to the past. There’s a stronger energy waiting at the end. Alexa Kate’s voice fills the song with comfort, like a string of warm lights on the porch. The song is a safe place. Her vocals heighten the vulnerability from the small, low moment. The bridge feels like waiting at a red light—still, reflective, and a chance to take in the surroundings. When the chorus hits, the beat pounds like a foot to the pedal, pushing forward with bittersweet momentum. The song is a delicate scene in a rearview mirror. Alexa Kate brings music to any city she steps into. Born and raised in New York, she has spent time songwriting in Nashville and Los Angeles.

It is everything a pop song should be, all while not sticking to a “play book” / what is typically expected from pop artists. While “The Best Things (Worth the Wait)” is a more reserved, pretty, and emotionally laced pop song, there are details and messages of light strewn throughout the track, giving a balance and well-rounded listening experience. Whether you’re a fan of upbeat, more “classic” pop or a fan of unpredictable, unique and “out of the box” pop, Orgel has given listeners a song that has something for everyone.

While dating can be so fun and exciting it can also be one of the worst experiences of your life when it ends. There are all these thoughts about what was real and what was not, which leaves you unsure about them and most importantly yourself.

The beat reminded me that something better is to come from whatever the situation may be. Her vocals were also super relaxed at the beginning as well which made for the rest of the songs fast beat amazing. I thought the steady beat throughout the rest of the song made this track seem super familiar and homey. Which also made the lyrics stand out so much especially with lines like “You held my heart with gaps in your fingers” and “No intentions of actually loving me.” The whole song was extremely relatable, and I loved every second of it.   Sammm is a singer/songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee.

While you are the only person that feels this way you can’t help but think if others notice. Which comes from the spiral of events making you question what is going on in your everyday life. You question your friends, family and the way you act towards others. B Dayton released his brand new single titled “Invisible” on June 20, 2025. This song has the mood to make anyone who listens relate in every possible way.   “Invisible” starts off with such an enchanting sound that makes you want to never stop listening. Quickly shifting to the lyrics from the intro which were amazing at every moment. The lyrics were super relatable and honest like “Don’t break my invisible heart / If you don’t see it then it doesn’t hurt.” I simply could not get enough, not to mention how catchy the rhythm was throughout. While the track is about a real feeling a ton of people experience and have difficulty with, the song was so upbeat in sounds. I really enjoyed the different beats throughout as well. It gave this song a unique touch.   B Dayton is a singer/songwriter from Louisville, Kentucky.

Kel Adore’s “Late Bloomer” symbolizes an untimely arrival of someone in her life, or finding a sense of belonging, through gardens and blooms. She sings about changing winds and going somewhere, though not exactly knowing where. This floating dynamic encourages her to sing “no room in their garden/ feeling like a loser/ put your roots here darling,” making room for those who don’t have a place to go. She admits how she wished they got there sooner, calling the new plant in her garden a “late bloomer”, yet mentioning they’re right on time. After this, she notes how dandelions “spring up no matter” and it's “never too late”, so “bloom away”. This empowers those who may feel a little behind in life, and invites them into Kel’s garden- even if they’re a little late.  The track starts with sweet vocals and buried strings that set an optimistic tone. Kel’s voice has a slight twang when performing the chorus, which adds depth to the song. Layered vocals during certain bridges work to create a unity that compliments the message of the track. “Late Bloomer” is a feel-good, bounce-back song that liberates “late bloomers” with a bright soundscape that delivers swinging positivity. Rooted drums and a light tambourine convey summertime sentiment when Kel slows down to build the reiteration of the triumphant chorus. The sound dives into silence for 1-2 seconds after this peak to attract attention and keep it. The song ends with complex production that accounts for every corner of the soundscape. Kel Adore finishes with “cool” to seal the track.  Kel Adore is an LA based artist with an electro-indie pop sound that aims to “feed your soul with music”. She made it on Spotify’s “Viral Hits” and “Hit Italiene” editorial playlists, and released several influential singles in 2024.

It’s easy to get caught up with an ex who has long since gotten over your breakup. But is it really fair to call your overprotectiveness over them “jealousy”? Bold, fun, and honest, “Care Too Much” is Kiya Christine’s debut single that features everything you’d ever want from a confessional pop song. Capturing the inner dialogue of a girl who’s still hung up on an ex who’s already over their relationship, Kiya brings the self-awareness and sass to a track that is lighthearted and bright. This song is going to be perfect for those of you who love the musical storytelling styles of Sabrina Carpenter and Tate McRae, keeping it real while the melody flows. Kiya’s “Care Too Much” is so much fun to listen to. The hooks are exactly their namesake– these electropop melodies are going to get so caught in your head that you’ll be humming them when you least expect it. I really love how light the song feels and sounds– the content in it may be about a breakup and the subsequent jealousy that comes from it, but the lyrics’ self-awareness keeps everything so honest that it’s almost impossible to not smile while you’re listening to it. Combining all of that with the fantastically-written chorus makes for a song that is just begging you to sing along with it. I especially love the line “Don’t call me jealous / Just call it overprotective”; there’s a sense of justification that follows it, giving the narrator a reason to keep her eye on her ex. Like the title says, she just cares too much to let go. If you’ve similarly been hung up on an ex, then you’ll love the relatability “Care Too Much” delivers in catchy hooks and dynamic lyricism. Hailing from Boise, Idaho is Kiya Christine is a Los Angeles-based artist whose career began at the age of 9. Although she began as a studio dancer, she has since come into the music industry as of 2024, a year spent writing music while continuing her training in dancing, guitar playing, and singing.

Her debut single “Care Too Much” debuted this year, and was penned when Kiya was 14. She currently has two other singles under her belt, titled “promise” and “Two of Me”. If you loved “Care Too Much”, you should definitely give her other tracks a listen. And don’t forget to drop her a follow to keep up with whatever she’s got in store for us next!

On OSKA's latest album, the title track, "Refined Believer", is a deeply personal song with honest lyrics that are a breath of fresh air. The song conveys love and connections in a realistic, relatable way. While falling in love is an exciting, beautiful, and fun experience, its not always perfect once you remove the rose-colored lenses. OSKA shows all the complexities of falling in love with lyrics such as "Starting the fight, then starting to cry. But all my sadness subsides, when your smile lights up the sky." Falling in love is not always easy and relationships are not linear. Experiencing a few bumps in the road while falling in love is normal. Despite the potential hardships, love is still a beautiful thing. Even with the pain it can bring, strong feelings of love can form equally strong ties of loyalty. The loyalty can be so strong it leans more into devotion for that person you love. "Refined Believer" portrays the true nature of falling in love with all its ups and downs that you may push through, even if it can cause emotional pain. From the very moment the song starts and OSKA's vocals hit your ears, you are immediately reeled into a heartbreakingly intimate setting. OSKA's voice is full of raw honesty. Each lyric sounds like a personal confession typically saved for whispers between the shadows of a quiet night. OSKA has a powerful, emotion-laden tone. It makes it feel as if you are being personally comforted or serenaded. OSKA's vocal tone has a unique quality that fills listeners with emotions and keeps them hooked on every lyric and note. The impactful yet soft and airy sound of OSKA's voice is reminiscent of singer-songwriters like Billie Marten and Jade Bird . Throughout "Refined Believer", the consistent, soft strums of a guitar backs OSKA's clear, almost fairy-like voice which adds to the overall serene, emotional vibe of the song. Near the end of the song, the music builds for a moment with the repetition of the lyric "It's gonna take all my life", creating an ethereal sound as the song draws to a close. Viennese indie-pop singer-songwriter OSKA was born into a family of talented singers and musicians, which led to her discovering her voice from a young age. OSKA was raised in a small village in Lower Austria until she moved to Vienna to pursue her love and passion for music at the age of 18. While in Vienna, OSKA began busking throughout the city’s streets and squares. After years spent honing her voice and featuring for different artists, OSKA released "Distant Universe" in 2020, and soon after, signed to Nettwerk Music Group. The following year, OSKA released her debut EP, "Honeymoon Phase," which received critical acclaim and industry recognition, including awards like the XA Music Export Award at the 2020 Waves Vienna Showcase Festival and an Amadeus Austrian Music Award in 2022.

In April of 2025, Australian singer-songwriter Calum Hood announced that he would be releasing his debut studio album with EMI Music Australia. He began by releasing three singles separately. These singles were “Don’t Forget You Love Me”, “Call Me When You Know Better”, and “Sunsetter”. These singles teased the subject matter and aural palette of the album, garnering praise and fostering excitement for the album that was released on June 13th, 2025. Upon release, the album debuted at number 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart. Although Hood was the last of his bandmates from 5 Seconds of Summer to go solo, his album was more than worth the wait. TRACKLIST Don't Forget You Love Me Call Me When You Know Better Sweetdreams I Wanted To Stay Sunsetter All My Affection Endless Ways Streetwise Dark circles Three of Swords Calum Thomas Hood was born on January 25th, 1996 in Sydney, Australia. Throughout his childhood, he took an interest in sports. He was particularly good at soccer, and showed great promise as a player. However, his heart was set on music. In the year of 2011, Hood began posting youtube song covers with his school friends Micheal Clifford and Luke Hemmings. Eventually they were joined by Austin Irwin, and began the band 5 Seconds of Summer which has amassed millions of album and ticket sales as well as digital streams. Hood has had a history of songwriting, and announced his solo album “ORDER chaos ORDER” in April of 2025. Don't Forget You Love Me Hood’s album begins with the track “Don’t Forget You Love Me”, an upbeat song that contrasts with its dark subject matter. It begins with a guitar ostinato and a drum beat signals the entrance of the vocals. This moving track describes the feeling of being lost throughout heartbreak, emphasizing the grieving process that accompanies the loss of a relationship. The repetitive melody and instrumental during the verses create a feeling of a never-ending tunnel, suggesting the endless feeling of heartbreak. The chorus marks the first change in melody, and it sounds like a desperate echo of begging someone not to forget you, and the vocals become progressively more expressive and powerful to accompany this change. Call Me When You Know Better “Call Me When You Know Better” has an electronic feeling that reminds me of retro 8-bit video games. The chorus enters with guitars that combine an acoustic element with the electronic synths that provide a uniquely summery feel. This song is about feeling guilt around the end of the relationship. Unfortunately, sometimes love is not enough, and you cannot give someone what they need. You’re left with no choice but to let them go. Harmonies in the verses cook up an echoey effect on the vocals, leaving listeners with a sense of wistfulness. Sweetdreams “Sweetdreams” begins with echoey vocals atop a guitar melody and light drum beat. The vocals become clearer as they lead into the verse. This track is about past memories. Hood sings about finding comfort and respite in times past, complemented by echoey, far away vocals that create the feeling of a dreamlike trance. As the name suggests, every dream must come to an end. No matter how much one wishes to stay in the comfort of memories, everyone has to wake up at some point. This devastating reality is teased by the dark imagery of a car crash, hinting that the dreaminess is merely a coverup for a brutal reality.  I Wanted To Stay “I Wanted To Stay” juxtaposes the dreaminess of the previous track with a darker introduction. A heavy bass with intense vocalizations mark a stark shift in mood. A drum beat signals the introduction of the verse. This is another song about being forced to leave someone you love due to your inability to properly care for them. Mental health issues are like any other illness- they impact every facet of your existence, including interpersonal relationships. When your primary focus is keeping yourself above water, it gets difficult to honor your relationships. The overpowering instrumental in the suggests the imagery of drowning in your personal issues. The song ends with a powerful overlapping of the lyrics “I wanted you to stay, please don’t go” on top of “I love my baby, but I’m fading away, I wanted to stay”.  Sunsetter “Sunsetter” is another dreamy song. Reverbed vocals lay on top of a victorious major key track. This piece is powerful and moving. The lyrics paint the dream of forever with someone you think so highly of. The title of “Sunsetter” creates powerful imagery. Love can be powerful and all-consuming. When someone has your heart, it is like they have the entire world. In your mind, they control the cosmos. They set the sun, they hang the moon in the stars. That is what this song is about. You want to be with them for your entire life, which is emphasized by the repetition of “You and I forever” to end the song. All My Affection This track describes complete devotion in love. Love is scary. Love is dangerous. Sometimes, it can be really painful. In spite of all of this, we keep putting ourselves out there and opening our hearts. That is what this song is about. “All My Affection” illustrates the complete devotion of yourself to another. They have all of your love, no matter what happens. The low vocals and mellow guitar create a vulnerable sound, putting listeners in the moment with the subject matter. Endless Ways “Endless Ways” immediately begins with an upbeat and optimistic backing track. The fun thing about love is through getting to know someone, you get to know things about yourself. This song is about how people are a reflection. How you feel about them and how you treat them and react to them tells you things about yourself and the way your life develops. Love is most beautiful when you have the chance to grow with someone, which does require vulnerability and honesty. The exciting instrumental suggests a hint of throwing caution to the wind and diving headfirst with someone. Streetwise Sometimes love is temporary. Sometimes that is the most exciting part. “Streetwise” depicts the exciting sensation of a romance that burns hot and quick, emphasized by the quick instrumental. The guitar creates an optimistic emotion. However, the fast tempo is constantly being pulsed somewhere underneath it. This contradicts with the happy feelings in the guitar by concocting a warm yet unsettling feeling. Restlessness is prominent in a situation where you know you’re on borrowed time, and the instrumentation aurally creates the sensation of being enticed by someone’s hot and cold tendencies. Dark Circles “Dark Circles” has a primarily electronic instrumental, with a synth melody and vocalizations in the background. This track depicts the feeling of losing yourself after losing someone else. When you’re in love, you intertwine your lives and sometimes your identities. Losing that other half of yourself can create the sensation of a void that keeps you up at night as you process and try to find yourself again. The synths create a repetitive countermelody that suggest an underlying sadness.  Three Of Swords “Three Of Swords” has echoey and dreamy sounds in the guitar, drones, and reverb that create the sense of something faraway. This track depicts a love turning sour, the sweet memories becoming bitter. At the end of the relationship, you may romanticize the past. The soft moments feel even softer when dealing with the harsh reality. You’re left yearning, waiting for someone to come back, as suggested by the lyrics “Are you coming home?” These are the moments where you want to reach out, and want to know if someone is thinking about you too. That is the perfect time to listen to this song. The most beautiful of modern developments is the increasing number of storytelling methods. Calum Hood takes advantage of this progression and uses both lyrics and instrumentation to tell his story and connect with his listeners. “Sweetdreams” is the track most indicative of his narrative abilities and is thus my favorite off of this album. The dreamy soundscape that contradicts with the brutal reality of the subject matter captured my attention, and I absolutely fell in love with it. Hood has a skill for adding in complexities in his projects that entice audiences through both artistic ability and musical prowess.

“Love me knots” ties th0rn into a ball of frustration with the petal-picking “love me, love me not” dynamic. Th0rn’s new track explores the push and pull of inconsistency in the depths of a relationship between them and someone who is flaky in their intentions. They sing “ say you love me/ in the morning/ 20 minutes/ I’m so boring ” which showcases the hot and cold nature of this love. They describe this person as “ you’re so burnt out/ half-hearted ” which might also reflect their resentment towards them in the end. The two participants deliver a dichotomy with their actions in the song like “ remembered ” and “ forgot ”, further demonstrating their division. Th0rn comes to the conclusion in the chorus: “ you loved me in the summer/ but now you love me not ”, as the final, gut-punching lyrics in the timely track.  The track starts like a retro video game, and morphs into a medley of sensational sound. A vignette of twangy guitar and swimming vocals comes into full focus after this intro. Angelic vocals hum to sweeten a bitter subject, and contribute to a diverse soundscape. The listener is able to hear a scratch when the guitar changes chords, which works to create a rusticity that compliments the indie-pop characteristics of this track. Th0rn’s moody vocals match the message of the track, and are accentuated by an instrumental outro after the last lyrics. Layering deep lead vocals with the background slightly higher in pitch adds a complexity that listeners can appreciate. The song ends abruptly, following the toxicity mentioned in the song.  Th0rn’s sound is where sad-girl pop meets indie music, plus a signature note of something indescribable. They are an artist from Chicago, who specializes in wrapping gut-punches in silk. They’re attracting attention with a build up of singles that nail storytelling and production. Their new release “love me knots” was produced by WOOF, with an astounding 1 minute and 45 seconds of effective storytelling. They released their first single, “angel dust” in 2023, and their most recent single “love me knots” this month. I can’t wait to see what th0rn does next, and how their soundscape will evolve to portray their vibe and message.
