Blood Orange – Countryside (Audio) ft. Eva Tolkin, Liam Benzvi, Ian Isiah

Blood Orange is the project of Devonté Hynes, an artist who moves fluidly across genres from singer-songwriter to filmmaker.

The work he released in August 2025 features an enchanting, dreamlike sound woven from airy synths and gentle guitars.

It poetically portrays a sense of nostalgia and longing—gazing out the window and thinking of someone far away.

The scene of a fog-laden city quietly beginning to breathe seems to invite listeners into an introspective world.

This track appears on Essex Honey, his first album in six years, and suggests a larger narrative of returning to his roots and finding healing.

It’s a perfect listen for nights when you want to forget the city’s clamor and sink into contemplation.

Khalid – in plain sight (Official Video)

Since earning wide acclaim with his debut album, American Teen, singer-songwriter Khalid has been at the forefront of the R&B scene.

He has now released the lead track from his upcoming album, After the Sun Goes Down, slated for October 2025.

Marking a departure from his previous chill sound, this new work is an exhilarating dance-pop track, shimmering with synths that evoke ’80s disco.

In contrast to its lyrics about breaking away from betrayal, the sound feels boundlessly liberating—an intriguing juxtaposition.

It’s a powerful statement of self-liberation from an artist who, in November 2024, shared his true self with fans.

This is a track that can give you courage when you want to shake off the past and take a step forward.

It’s said to be inspired by memories of “beautiful yet feverish nights” from the tour following his 2024 release In Waves, his first album in nine years.

You can sink into a bittersweet yet warm afterglow filled with affection for a night that has passed.

It’s a perfect song for reflecting at the end of the day or listening to while feeling the summer night breeze.
