Chappell Roan, “Good Luck, Babe!”
Chappell Roan has experienced widespread success this year following the release of her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and her incredible performances as the opening act on the first leg of Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS Tour. Days after her final GUTS show, she’s back with the first taste of her new era – “Good Luck, Babe!” is just as addictive as her first album, with a bridge you won’t be able to get out of your head.
Kelsea Ballerini, “Love Me Like You Mean It (Reimagined)”
Ten years ago, Kelsea Ballerini released her first single “Love Me Like You Mean It.” Since then, she’s had an incredible career, culminating in the release of her critically-acclaimed Rolling Up The Welcome Mat EP last year. Before officially opening a new musical chapter, Ballerini is revisiting her past with a reimagined, stripped-down version of her first single in honor of its anniversary, potentially giving fans a hint about what sounds they can expect from her next album!
Rainbow Kitten Surprise, “Overtime (feat. Kacey Musgraves)”
Alternative indie rock band Rainbow Kitten Surprise is collaborating with Kacey Musgraves ahead of their upcoming album Love Hate Music Box due this May. On “Overtime,” the band’s lyrical abilities shine while Musgraves harmonizes with lead singer Ela Melo. The catchy tune is sure to excite fans for the rest of the album!
Lola Young, “Big Brown Eyes”
Rising Gen Z star Lola Young has been compared to Adele and Amy Winehouse – not only does Young resemble Winehouse’s striking vocals, she’s also signed to Winehouse’s label and managed by her manager. On her latest single “Big Brown Eyes,” she blends elements of R&B and rock to evoke an infectious feeling that will make anyone want to dance along!
BANG YEDAM, “Officially Cool” (Feat. WINTER of aespa)
Former TREASURE member Bang Yadam has joined forces with Aespa’s WINTER on a new single titled “Officially Cool.” The track, which fuses an urban melodic blend of trap-laden beats with the effervescent pop vocals of the two rising forces, focuses on two recently separated lovers who are shy about expressing their remaining feelings (been there!)
