Sam Fender — Rein Me In (feat. Olivia Dean) [Official Video]

Sam Fender, who has cemented his place in the modern UK rock scene, sings about the everyday lives of the working class and can truly be called a voice of our times.

The duet I’m introducing today is a reimagined track from his February 2025 album People Watching, featuring fellow hometown songstress Olivia Dean.

The song portrays the inner struggle of seeking support within a relationship, expressed from both male and female perspectives, and their expressive power is truly striking.

First unveiled to huge acclaim at a stadium show in June 2025, it’s a grand, emotional anthem woven from the two singers’ voices.

Listen to it on a night when you long for someone by your side, and it’s sure to move you.

Samara Cyn – summer’s turning (Official Audio)

Samara Shin, a rising singer-rapper from the United States who’s earned recognition from legends like Lauryn Hill, blends hip-hop and neo-soul into music that invites listeners into a soothing world.

In June 2025, she released her second EP, “Backroads.” Opening the EP, this track paints the restless, introspective feelings that late summer brings.

Its airy, soulful sound is a perfect fit for solitary, contemplative nights or a slightly sentimental drive.

Drain The Blood (feat. Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker)Silverstein

Silverstein – Drain The Blood feat. Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker [Official Music Video]

Silverstein, the Canadian post-hardcore veterans now celebrating 25 years since their formation.

This track, released ahead of their September 2025 album Pink Moon, is a killer tune that truly showcases the band’s essence—an outpouring of rage and urgency against the idea of AI stealing the soul of art.

The sound, built from unpredictable guitar riffs and impassioned shouts, is the very explosion of irrational creativity that only humans can possess.

The section featuring Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker as a guest further accentuates the song’s dystopian worldview, and his despair-laden vocals are goosebump-inducing.

It’s a track packed with their conviction, meticulously crafted by the guitarist from the very first draft to completion.

Swedish House Mafia, the Swedish supergroup reigning at the pinnacle of dance music.

The track they dropped in June 2025 on their new label is an anthem perfectly suited to usher in a new chapter.

It opens with an earnest vocal aching for love, then brilliantly erupts as relentless beats and synths drive the emotion to a climax.

Their first release since the 2022 album “Paradise Again,” this song distills their essence—dramatic and emotional sound design—into a single, definitive statement.

If you crave that soaring rush you can soak up with your whole body in a massive festival space, this one’s made for you.

American artist Teddy Swims, who shot to stardom off the back of YouTube cover videos and captivates listeners with his soulful vocals.

In 2024, “Lose Control” became a global hit, and it’s easy to see why his talent has gained such widespread recognition.

His new track with Texas-born rapper BigXthaPlug expresses a single-minded passion that charges ahead without hitting the brakes on love.

The track smoothly blends soul and hip-hop, making it a perfect companion for a drive.

This song is drawing attention as a lead single from the album “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition),” set for release in June 2025.

The Black Keys – Man On A Mission (Official Visualizer)

The Black Keys are an American duo rooted in blues-based, hard-hitting rock, and they’ve won the Grammy Awards multiple times.

The track they unveiled in June 2025 is a thrilling rock number that stirs the listener’s heart.

It portrays a figure who overcomes hardship and presses forward with renewed resolve—an image that also echoes the band’s own declaration of a “comeback” and the opening of a “new chapter.” This song is a lead single from their album “No Rain, No Flowers,” set for release in August 2025, and its exhilarating, fast-paced sound will be the perfect companion for a drive or any moment when you want to lift your spirits.

How The Gods Kill (DANZIG Cover)THE HALO EFFECT

THE HALO EFFECT – How The Gods Kill (OFFICIAL VISUALIZER)

The Halo Effect, a gathering of hardened veterans formerly of In Flames and symbols of Sweden’s metal scene, is nothing short of a dream band for longtime fans.

The fact that their debut album, Days of the Lost, released in August 2022, reached No.

1 on the charts in their home country speaks volumes about the level of anticipation.

This track is a cover of a somber classic by Danzig, whom the band deeply reveres.

They reconstruct the original’s mythic, dark atmosphere with their signature mournful twin guitars and Mikael Stanne’s powerful vocals.

It’s a superb piece infused with the soul of the Gothenburg sound—far more than a mere imitation.
