Willow has abandoned punky rock for ecstatic math jazz that's all about celebrating music, but how, in a really listenable way.
“Here We Go (Uh Oh)” – Coco Jones
Fresh off an R&B Grammy, Coco Jones proves that mining a classic genre never has to sound dated or dated.
“Galbi” – Sant Levant
Saint Levant is the protagonist of Arab pop. Its fresh delicacy of more traditional sounds is a good example of why.

We're betting Atlanta's Anycia's nonchalant, almost sleepy flow combined with her girly beats is captivating the rap world right now.
“Sweet Devotion (feat. Caroline Byrne)” – TSHA
House music lovers who want to have an emotional epiphany on the dance floor should enter TSHA immediately.
“Street Wise” – Pretty Sick
When a song opens with someone screaming “You make me sick!!!!” – You know it will be fine.

“Call an ambulance, I need botox,” writes Isabella Lovestory on her new head-turning perreo-pop anthem made for It Girls.
“Damn” – Kacy Hill
Amidst thick, distorted guitar, Kacy Hill's clear voice cuts like a cannon, especially when you realize she's lamenting a man she couldn't measure up to.
“Thot Daughter” – Harmony
Resisting brain rot is futile; instead, we should all be competing to be this summer's hottest daughter.
