rache. – "Patient"

Pop/R&B

With her breakout single “Patient,” rache. has been drumming up well-deserved buzz. The song's success largely comes from its silky groove and standout vocal performance. A relatable story of a young woman easing her way into new love, “Patient” glides along on super dead drums; lush, atmospheric layers; and punchy horns.

Hailing from Los Angeles, rache. wears her influences lightly, bending them into something distinctly her own. There’s a timeless quality here that feels both fresh and familiar, weaving threads of Victoria Monét’s sultry finesse, Chloe x Halle’s dreamy harmonies, and flashes of Sabrina Carpenter’s polished pop sensibility. Soulful yet playful, polished yet honest.

It's really good, guys.

Loose Goose, Gus Dapperton – "Down Like This"

Electronic/Dance

To all the girls with the lips and the hips // Move it to the front, break it down like this

From the outset, this song hooks you with a sexy, isolated vocal and doesn't let go. Immediately dropping into a dance-inspiring groove, this electronic track showcases Gus Dapperton's signature studio skills but in a new light. Releasing dance music under the moniker Loose Goose, this new project takes all of Gus Dapperton's talent and repackages it for a new use case (i.e. shakin' it on the dancefloor). 

Loose Goose finds Gus at his most liberated and sonically restless. A love letter to New York’s restless heartbeat, this is a fearless swirl of sound that tears down genre walls while channeling LCD Soundsystem, Empire of the Sun, and Justice. It's a fusion of alt, indie, and dance. 

Jordan Andrew – "iKNOW"

Pop/R&B

Sometimes you have to tear yourself apart to rebuild. Korean-American artist Jordan Andrew wrote this in the thick fog of self-doubt and creative burnout. A genre-blurring single, it stitches together punchy 808s, shimmering synths, and a pop-forward vocal that hits like a jolt of self-belief at 3 AM. 

Jordan admitted to tmrw that he spent years hating his own work. Honestly, we have no clue why. This song has made it to the top of all of our office playlists. Everyone's a critic, but not everyone should be. Jordan Andrew is rad.

archie – "Dysfunctional"

Pop/Funk

Scottish pop provocateur archie is back with what might be his most revealing work yet. This is a brutally catchy confessional. If you've ever found yourself tangled in love's glorious mess, this is a shout-along anthem for you. It's driven by a propulsive, funky groove; a solid vocal performance; and songwriting that has this 21-year-old poised for a breakout year. If you like alt-pop with a DIY visual flair, become an archie fan. It's pop gold.

I Talk Too Much When I'm Drunk – "Good Game"

Indie Pop/World Fusion

This song cuts right to the bone of modern hookup culture, slicing through the blurry rules of ghosting, breadcrumbing, and situationships with razor-sharp electronic pop. The Jakarta-based collective spins all that messy uncertainty into something oddly beautiful. Danilla’s spellbinding vocals hover above sparse, hypnotic synths and a pulsing beat that perfectly mirrors the push-and-pull of digital romance. It’s addictive and unsettling all at once. 

As the second single off their upcoming album, I Love Too Much When I’m Drunk, “Good Game” feels like both an anthem and an indictment: three minutes that lure you in, break your heart, and leave you wanting more.
