Josh Levi
Josh Levi returns with the evocative slow jam, “HOLD ON,” ahead of his debut studio album HYDRAULIC dropping October 10th. The track captures the push-and-pull of mixed signals, balancing vulnerability with self-respect. It’s an anthem for anyone refusing to be taken for granted while still speaking their truth.
Ben Reilly
Ben Reilly returns with his second single, “Don’t Lose The Plot!” An upbeat, Neptunes-inspired production, the track finds Ben narrating the budding love story between himself and a woman of interest, encouraging her to let go of her perceptions of his character so she can be loved at full capacity.
2charm☆
Reigning from Australia, new club/pop act 2charm debuts their single “boyfriend.” The track is a slick, hyperpop-laced tease of heart-pumping beats, guitar synths, and pitched-out vocal hooks that are altogether inescapably danceable. It’s flirty from every angle, with an addictive playfulness and just the right dose of danger spurned by its deep and dirty basslines.
Don Toliver
Don Toliver shares his new single “Tiramisu,” a smooth, genre-blending track produced by Cardo Got Wings that highlights the Houston native’s signature sound. Floating between melodic rap and R&B, Toliver delivers his silky vocals over lush production, offering a late-night anthem that's equally hypnotic and addictive.
ilham
Queensbridge pop/R&B artist ilham unveils her new single and visual “for me” featuring Fridayy, a seamless fusion of pop, R&B, and house. The pair trade heartfelt declarations about going to the ends of the earth for love—while demanding the same devotion in return.
Low.bō
On husk, the debut album from Baltimore-born artist and producer Low.bō, love unravels in slow motion, tracing what we carry, shed, and leave behind after heartbreak. Blending alternative, R&B, indie, and grunge, the self-produced project crafts a textured, cinematic world where vulnerability takes center stage.
DON WEST
Australian soul singer-songwriter DON WEST shares the title track from his upcoming debut album, GIVE ME ALL YOUR LOVE, out November 14. With smooth, velvety vocals over groovy, vintage-inspired production, “Give Me All Your Love” captures the romantic depth at the heart of his work while offering a glimpse of what’s to come on the full project.

On the track, we hear Veeze flow effortlessly; his bars are braggadocious in the most creative way, and his infamous humor adds that unexpected charm as he explores how his life has changed since Ganger.
