Is your playlist looking drab? Tired of listening to the same Top 100 hits? Well, stop clicking shuffle and look no further because V have got you covered. New music, especially good new music, is skim and scattered, so sit back, put your headphones on, and get ready for your weekend playlist.

Alemeda “Go Figure”

The 25-year-old Ethiopian-Sudanese singer is redefining garage rock in her own terms. This morning, she released ‘Go Figure’ which further develops the bratty rock-pop sound of Alemeda that is equally smirkingly infectious as it is genre-pushing.

Gracie ABRAMs’ “Hit the wall”

Gracie girls don’t fret because her third studio album, Daughter from Hell, is due July 17th. This morning, we got a sneak peek of the pop pixies’ forthcoming sound with the release of their newest single, ‘Hit The Wall’. The production is breezy and familiar to Gracie’s previous work, but lyrically is more daring.

Stephen Dawes has been teasing new music via social media for quite some time, and he finally released ‘Two Hearts’. The song slots into the current wave of earnest, vintage-romantic male songwriting and continues his trajectory from bedroom pop to brassy anthemic balladry.

Tove Lo – “I’m Your Girl Right”

Tove Lo released “I’m your girl right?” which is the lead single from her highly anticipated sixth studio album ESTRUS, out September 18. “I’m your girl right?” is a sultry dance floor-ready track that lures audiences in with Tove’s typical flirtatious lyricism.

Towa Bird – Gentleman

Towa Bird returns with her sophomore album, Gentleman, the follow-up to 2024’s American Hero. Recorded in Brooklyn and LA after a year of nonstop touring, the record trades the tightly-wound alt-pop of her debut for a bolder attitude and atmosphere. “I took a lot more risks than I did on the first record, instead of just playing it safe,” Bird says, “and now I want to keep leaning into those places of discomfort and uncertainty.”
