Finally, we haven't had anything good from Linkin Park in almost 10 years (One More Light was crap), but this song saved us. Long live Linkin Park.
Pretty awesome unreleased song from the Meteora era of Linkin Park. Very excited for the 20th anniversary of Meteora and what these unreleased songs/demos will be like.
Ah, it's so nice to hear Chester's voice again. Can't wait to see what the 20th anniversary edition of Meteora will be like.
Another great song by Paramore. Looks like their album will be awesome.
I'm aware it only went to number 1 because of my remix, but PLEASE give this a listen. This is one of the most incredible, grand, and uplifting pop songs I've ever heard in my entire life. The album this comes from, That! Feels Good!, is probably the best pop album of the decade so far. If you haven't listened to it, give it a spin. You won't regret it.
Following the smash success of her debut album Sour in 2021, Olivia Rodrigo is back with a new scorcher. It may sound like a "Drivers License 2.0" at the beginning, but it quickly transitions into a dramatic pop-rock number that delivers an emotional punch without bending under its own weight of pathos. As always, her vocals are stunning, and her songwriting is honest and straightforward. This is the lead single to her upcoming sophomore album GUTS. Welcome back, OR. I can't wait to see how you've grown since Sour.
The Newcomers
Soaring in the stratosphere guitar.
Is it yet another remake of a classic 90s dance song? Nope! It's an original song by Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding influenced by trance music. While this song does not reinvent the wheel when it comes to EDM, it still feels like a welcome breath of fresh air among all those EDM tracks we hear on the radio that are indistinguishable from one another or revolve around a sample or remake of a classic song (David Guetta, you heard me there). Shoutout to Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding for creating this gem that will be one of my summer jams.
One of the best songs of 2023. It's very catchy and good.
This hypnotic and dreamlike song is my current favorite of 2023 as of August. My love for this song took me down a hazy path into Slowdive's discography and other shoegaze albums.
Lana Del Rey keeps on impressing me with this new track. It starts off as a folksy ballad before slowly morphing into a trap beat. It also features some of Lana's best lyrics to date. I can't wait to hear the album.
Another nice rocker by Måneskin with a catchy chorus. Tom Morello's solos are nice too, although they're kinda generic.
