Herstory - Young M.A

Her long-awaited debut is finally here.

with time - ilham

Excuse me while I light a candle, run a bubble bath, and forget the entire week to the tune of this EP.

"Good Thing" - Zedd ft. Kehlani

Much like the title already suggests, this collab is very, very good.

"Boys Like You" - Dodie

Dodie's lyricism is hypnotic on this track (and always).

"Wild Girl" - Empress Of

Okay, I'm feeling so seen.

"Natural History" - Dominic Sen

Lush strings make this disco-infused track super-dreamy.

Tell Ya Story - Layton Greene

A strong debut EP from this up-and-comer.

"Lonely" - Noah Cyrus

Cyrus is literally breaking my heart with these vocals.

"SNOWCONE" - Rei Ami

This is the kind of attitude I'm trying to achieve.

"Navy Blue" - Charlotte Lawrence

I'm hooked on this chorus.

Partying On My Own - Alexina

Your next favorite breakup songs.

"I Been" - Berhana ft. Crush

It's no secret that Berhana is my favorite new obsession.

"Something Has To Change" - The Japanese House

The hook of this song is an apt mantra for all the BS going on right now, romantic, political, and otherwise.

"Even If It Hurts" - Tei Shi ft. Blood Orange

Feeling so blessed by the combination of these two perfect artists.

"Malibu" - Ayoni

Ayoni's vocals are nothing short of haunting.
