Crazy WorldNEW!Black Gold

BLACKGOLD – Crazy World (Official Music Video)

Black Gold are a masked, enigmatic five-piece from London.

Updating the nu-metal that dominated the ’90s and early 2000s with elements of rap and grime, they’ve been generating buzz—especially among younger listeners.

This track, the lead single from their EP “E.

P Phone Home,” released in October 2025, delivers a powerful message about today’s chaotic society.

With explosive guitar riffs, thunderous low end, and an aggressive blend of shouts and rap, it channels biting irony and anger toward a dystopian world.

The music video—evoking ’80s cinema and laced with celebrity-scandal references—is also a must-see.

EndlessNEW!Lil Yachty

Lil Yachty – Endless (Official Music Video)

Lil Yachty, the Atlanta native, released a new single in October 2025 in collaboration with the visual production team Lyrical Lemonade.

Over an enveloping, ambient beat, he employs his signature wavering vocal style to rap about his endless skill set, wealth, and journey to success.

Extending the psychedelic rock experimentation he showcased on his 2023 album “Let’s Start Here.

,” the track features alternative production that sets it apart from conventional trap.

While he’s known as a pioneer of bubblegum trap, this song reflects his continued commitment to broadening his scope as a musician.

Talk to YouNEW!Sam Fender & Elton John

Sam Fender & Elton John – Talk to You (Official Visualiser)

Singer-songwriter Sam Fender, based in the Northeast of England, has long given voice to social issues and inner turmoil from a working-class perspective.

Released in October 2025, this track is a high-profile collaboration featuring Elton John, a giant of piano rock.

Centered on the end of a long-term relationship and the pain of losing someone like a best friend, the song layers Fender’s guitar-driven melodies with John’s classical piano, resulting in an introspective yet grand rock ballad.

Set to be included on the deluxe edition of the album “People Watching,” slated for release in December 2025, this piece will resonate with anyone who yearns to speak with someone they’ve lost and carries the regrets learned from that loss.

FEEL LOVENEW!PARTYOF2

PARTYOF2 – FEEL LOVE

Los Angeles-based hip-hop duo Party of Two announced their debut album, “AMERIKA’S NEXT TOP PARTY!,” set for release in October 2025, and one of its tracks is generating buzz.

Swim and JaydaGrace began performing in 2019 as the four-member group grouptherapy.

, then reinvented themselves under their current name in January 2025 after some members departed.

For this project, they teamed up with Canadian producer Kaytranada, crafting a distinctive sound that blends slow-tempo, silky synth-funk with R&B melodies.

The song delicately portrays a protagonist’s fragile emotions as they choose to believe in love again despite past wounds.

It’s a piece we especially recommend to anyone eager to take a step forward from their former hesitation.

My Old WaysNEW!Tame Impala

Tame Impala – My Old Ways (Official Video)

The new album Deadbeat from Australia’s acclaimed psychedelic project was released in October 2025.

Arriving roughly five years after the previous record, this work marks a bold shift from their traditional guitar-driven sound toward a club music and dancefloor-oriented approach.

The opening track is a dance cut distinguished by a piano riff and a four-on-the-floor beat.

Lyrically, it grapples with the struggle of slipping helplessly back into bad habits and former selves one aims to overcome.

The repetitive beat embodies the addictive, inescapable loop of such patterns, crafting a unique world where you confront yourself even as you dance.

This new frontier, infused with Western Australia’s rave culture, is perfect for lifting your spirits.

Self EvidentNEW!PUSCIFER

Puscifer – “Self Evident” (Official Music Video)

Puscifer is an experimental rock project centered around Maynard James Keenan—known for Tool and A Perfect Circle—joined by Mat Mitchell and Carina Round.

As a precursor to their first album in about five years, Normal Isn’t, the track they released in October 2025 is a guitar-driven number with a strikingly dark sonic character.

As Keenan himself describes it as “where goth meets punk,” the sound fuses post-punk rawness with gothic gloom, and the lyrics—laced with provocative turns of phrase—read as a scathing satire of contemporary society.

The operatic call-and-response between Keenan and Round is another highlight, making this an aggressive track that signals a new phase for the band.
