1. Bedelia Reflect on Transformation and Loss With Never change, love you always
Music trio Bedelia consists of vocalist Marisa Shirar, bassist Miles Morris and guitarist Dakota Floeter, and from the very beginning, we’ve been enchanted by their nostalgic, daydreamy sound. This week they released their debut EP, Never change, love you always, a collection of five songs that helped the artists explore and process the feelings of transformation and grief they were experiencing at the time. From the debut single “Tightrope” to the closing track “Do you miss me at all,” it channels the best of the vibrant and woozy alt-rock sounds of the ’90s while feeling more modern in its lyrical approach. They’ve quickly become one of our new favorite bands—and this is just the beginning.
2. ZAYLE Refines His ‘Flower Bass’ Sound With The World Is Pink, Change My Mind
Artist and producer ZAYLE has an unmistakable signature sound dubbed “Flower Bass,” consisting of blooming melodies, fusing jazz and trap sounds with lofi beats and orchestral flourishes, and it’s never been stronger than on his new album, The World Is Pink, Change My Mind. The album’s 13 tracks create a cinematic, almost confrontational atmosphere infused with color to somehow encapsulate all of the energies carried by the color pink.
“”From the ashes of the lofi era I created Flower Bass,” ZAYLE explained in a press release. “The next logical step for me. Trapped out lofi with pop influence. I hope you enjoy the vision and follow me down this sonic path I’ve laid out.”
3. KiKi Holli + The Remedy Clings to the Present in ‘Running Out of Time’
L.A.-based artist KiKi Holli has a reputation for not just crafting songs, but fully immersive musical soundscapes, and that’s precisely what we get from KiKi Holli + The Remedy’s new single, “Running Out of Time.” The track fuses KiKi’s signature musical elements of indie-pop and atmospheric rock, combining dreamy synths and bold orchestration to bring us right into the sonic world he’s crafted. It’s dark yet hopeful, especially with its richly layered vocals, as she laments the impermanence of time while embracing the importance of living in the present.
4. almost monday Reckons With Loss in ‘leaving is easy’
Indie-pop trio almost monday is ready to showcase an entirely new side of their musicality with their emotional and open-hearted new single, “leaving is easy.” The band actually starting writing the song early last year, but left it unfinished. Then, at the end of last year, a deep loss left the group in a state of grief. As they processed those emotions and worked on healing, they found themselves coming back to the song with a brand new perspective, transforming it into an anthem of reckoning with loss, resilience and hope, as they hold on while learning to move forward, too.
“Music is magic,” shared the group’s Dawson Daugherty in a press release. “Sometimes you write something that later becomes exactly what you need—like a message to your future self. In the beginning, we wrote this song as a reminder, ‘leaving is easy, loving is hard,’ about each of us staying committed to the band and our dreams. But after we experienced the worst night of our lives, the song took on new meaning. It became comfort. It felt like something we had written without realizing we would one day need to hear it. What I love most about the song is that it isn’t just heavy—it’s hopeful. The chorus feels like a sunrise to me. Our hope now is to take that pain and turn it into comfort for other people—and if the song can help someone else, then it has purpose.”
5. Devon Gabriella Toys With the Idea of Revisiting the Past in ‘Old Time’s Sake’
Everyone should keep their eyes peeled for what 24-year-old singer-songwriter Devon Gabriella has going on in 2026. The rapidly rising star has wowed listeners with her confessional and infectiously listenable pop sound, and her new single, “Old Time’s Sake,” is our favorite yet. It’s a dreamy pop song backed by Fleetwood Mac-esque blues-rock instrumentation as Devon looks back at a romance that wasn’t meant to be, yet toys with the idea of a reunion. It’s honest and raw, yet witty and playful as she imagines what could have fun, while finally deciding she’s content just where she is. We can’t stop listening, and we see it as a mark of so much more great music to come.
“A couple weeks before I left for tour, I had a studio session with my producer Kevin,” Devon shared in an interview with Sweety High. “On the drive there, I came to the realization that I would soon be performing in the same city that my ex had moved to a couple years back. I was entertaining the idea of inviting him to the show, knowing that if he did come, it would probably end badly (as things between us historically had). Throughout telling the story and crafting the song, I found a touch of humor within the dynamic that I knew wanted to shine through. I hope listeners interpret and resonate with this song in any way they need to. I also hope it’s a song they play when they need a good dance party in their bedroom. I’m so excited for it to be out in the world.”

6. Shakey Graves Brings New Life to ‘Time Flies’
Austin singer-songwriter Shakey Graves deserves all of the attention he’s getting in 2026, particularly with his fifth album, Fondness, Etc., releasing on May 15. We just got another taste of what’s to come with a cover Frankie Sunswept & The Sunwrays’ “Time Flies,” adding a completely different music flavor as it incorporates the artist’s hazy indie folk-round sound. “Time Flies” manages to feel nostalgic yet urgently present, with a message that really resonates.
“I had a vision of making this album feel like a sort of zero-budget Roy Orbison ‘50s pop record, and with such a small window to write, record, and release an entire album, I figured I should do what the pros would do and sneak in a cover song written by an old friend,” Shakey said in a press release. “I first heard [Frankie Sunswept] play ‘Time Flies’ in like 2007 at the Sidewalk Cafe in Alphabet City and have been singing the tune to myself nonstop since. I knew it was going to be a perfect fit for this project and finally made a version of it the way it would play on the radio in my head.”
7. aron! Embraces the Beauty of Love in ‘Wonderful Thing’
We couldn’t be more excited that rising artist aron! will be releasing his debut EP soon, especially after hearing his latest single, “Wonderful Thing.” Full of the cozy, vintage jazz-pop sounds that put him on the map, it’s a sweet and simple ode to falling in love that feels like it could be plucked right out of an old discography. He’s a master of weaving tiny yet deeply personal narratives over the course of a song, and we can’t wait to see how the rest of the EP comes together.
“It’s like singer-songwriter jazz,” aron! said of his upcoming EP in a press release. “I’ve always resonated with the real old-school romantics. People are going through the same things now as they were back then. Heartbreak is heartbreak, and love is love. We’re all humans, and that’s what most of these songs are about.”
8. Solya Chooses Herself With Debut Album, Queen of Texas
West Texas singer-songwriter Solya has cultivated a powerful following in recent years, and with the release of her debut album, Queen of Texas, she’s truly announcing herself and what she stands for to the world. Recorded entirely in her home state of Texas, it’s made up of 10 tracks all written by Solya herself. She also played rhythm guitar, synths and piano on them, lending to the signature retro country-pop sound that’s intimate yet bold and atmospheric. She also kicked off her headlining Queen of Texas Tour across North America last week, so if you can’t get enough, be sure to catch her on the road.
“Queen of Texas is a deeply personal album with themes of self-acceptance and choosing solitude over toxicity, even though it is something I’ve always feared,” Solya shared in a press release. “Musically, I wanted to create cinematic, heartfelt songs with elements of country, indie rock and Americana, in combination with ethereal synthesizers. The album was written over the span of four months and recorded entirely on analog equipment in just 10 days.”

9. Stephen Sanchez Shares His Next Album’s Title Track With ‘Love, Love, Love’
Stephen Sanchez is generating plenty of buzz ahead of the release of his sophomore album, Love, Love, Love, out May 8, and we’re particularly infatuated with the new title track, “Love, Love, Love.” The album is set to explore love in all of its forms, from romance to the love shared between friends, family, and even strangers, and this breezy and soulful new track tackles that theme head-on. It’s about just how important it is to show love to others, even when they’re not giving it in return. In fact, often that’s when people need a little love most.
“My first album was a concept album, and I loved getting to explore my sound through the lens of The Troubadour Sanchez,” Stephen explained in a press release. “When I started on this album, however, I knew it was time to shed that character and make something that felt true to who I am. The result is the most vulnerable work I’ve ever released, which is scary, but also incredibly gratifying. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

10. Harry Styles Gets Us Dancefloor-Ready With Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since the release of Harry Styles‘ hit album, Harry’s House, and the time between Harry’s announcement of his fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., in January and now has disappeared in a flash. He only released one single, “Aperture,” in the lead-up, leaving us hungry for more, and we’re delighted to say the album delivers on every front. Consisting of 12 tracks, the album has a heavy focus on synth sounds that make us want to hit the dancefloor while also showing a new restraint and maturity. He’s talking about love in a brand new way, evolving both his sound and his mindset in the process. We love to see it.
