SAILORR – โDUVETโ
Weโve missed SAILORR so much, and apparently sheโs missed us, too. The self-proclaimed โretired crashoutโ has released a deluxe version of her debut album, which is now titled FROM FLORIDAโS FINEST DELU/XXX [for my delusional ex]. Only two weeks ago, she released a sneak peek of the deluxe with โLOCKED INโ โ a track that has already surpassed one million streams on Spotify.
The release we are particularly hooked on is โDUVET,โ where SAILORR teasingly sings about how she has entranced every girlfriend out there. (Think your girlfriend loves you? She probably loves SAILORR more.) The narrative is similar to that of โGRRLโS GRRL,โ though, sonically, โDUVETโ sounds unlike any other song she has in her discography. The track presents itself as half electronic, half R&B, with a catchy beat at equal volume with the SAILORRโs voice. Once you hear her sing โPut your girlfriend on to the sound of my songs,โ youโll surely be singing it for the rest of the day. And according to her mini visualizer accompanying the song, this retired crashout has now relapsed โ but thatโs just the SAILORR we know and love.
Sylo – โSeraphineโ
Korean-Canadian artist Sylo is finishing 2025 boldly with his latest single โSeraphine.โ Dedicated to the idea of a femme fatale that fills his thoughts, โSeraphineโ is as groovy as it is bluntly lovestruck. Over a resonant bass line, Sylo sweetly reminisces about all the moments and movements of the woman of his dreams. The key line in the song comes at the end of the chorus as Sylo sings, โSeraphine, got me on my knees.โ He increases the importance of this line by using this line to echo the song to a close.
In a press release, Sylo spoke about the single, saying, โSeraphine, so witchy and mysterious. The beauty in her feminine intuition, something youโll always chase but can never truly have.โ While โSeraphineโ may be pointing at a specific person, the songโs title can more widely be used metaphorically, calling out to the Seraphines of the world who own their confidence and independence.
To hear โSeraphineโ and more live, make sure to check out Syloโs tour The Harder You Try, kicking off in January and continuing into February alongside his co-performer Jesse Baez.
CHUNG HA – โChristmas Againโ
CHUNG HA is wrapping up the 2025 season with her second holiday album, Christmas Promises: Again. Crafted as a gift to her loyal fans, the album renews her heartfelt vow to return every December, no matter how much time has passed. Opening the project is โChristmas Again,โ a slow pop ballad wrapped in snowy nostalgia. CHUNG HAโs voice glides gently across the melody as she admits, โItโs been a hell of a ride and an emotional year.โ From there, she leans into the tenderness of homecoming, singing about seeing โall of the magic, angels aglowโ as though the world looks a bit cheery now that sheโs back where she belongs. Each verse feels like stepping into a room full of love youโve been missing and desperately wishing to experience again.
The song resonates even for those who donโt celebrate a winter holiday. Its message isnโt tied to Christmas itself, but to the universal longing for the comfort, rest, and joy that comes from returning to someone who feels like home. For CHUNG HA, itโs her fans. The outro is proof, as she proclaims, โIโd stay forever like this.โ The warmth of โChristmas Againโ sets the tone for the rest of Christmas Promises: Again. From playful pop to more cozy ballads, this global star has you covered. Make sure to listen to all the tracks and celebrate the season with CHUNG HA.
Travis Japan – โWelcome to Our Show Tonightโ
Travis Japan is back with their third studio album โs travelers, a vibrant, genre-hopping seventeen-track collection that is full of fun, groove, and cinematics. At the center of the septetโs jazz is โWelcome to Our Show Tonight,โ a funky, retro anthem that feels like an open invitation to their sparkling world. From the first โna-na-na,โ the track immediately launches listeners into big band swings, catchy hooks, and the groupโs signature bubble-gum charm. Lyrics like โGently put down the burden youโre carrying / All we need is your smileโ encourages listeners to leave their worries behind and join the celebration, making the song as comforting as it is infectious. The energy reaches its peaks at the chorus, where they proclaim, โWelcome to our show tonight.โ
The music video for โWelcome to Our Show Tonightโ amplifies Travis Japanโs joyous vibes, turning the track into a fully immersive theatrical experience. Decked out in sharp, retro-inspired suits and performing on a bright Broadway-style stage, the video features the group members seamlessly transitioning between synchronized dance sequences, with flashes of their quirky personalities embedded in the choreography. Every wink, heart-gesture, and cheeky smile serves as another invitation into their fanfare โ so donโt hesitate, and step onto Travis Japanโs musical dancefloor with โWelcome to Our Show Tonight.โ
Myles Lloyd – โVoodooโ
Montreal-born artist Myles Lloyd is back with a new music video for the single โVoodooโ off his latest EP, Iโm Still Thinking. โVoodooโ is a sensual R&B track with a guitar melody strung throughout to complement Lloydโs soft vocals. The notable lack of percussion in the track gives it a hazy, late-night vibe perfect for long drives. The lyrics capture the complicated relationship of being together but unable to make it work the way you want. โBut right now Iโm incapable,โ he laments in the lyrics, โOf loving you like I wish to.โ Despite this, the relationship continues. Lloyd describes himself in the track as a โKing of patience, but with you Iโm rushing.โ
The music video is the perfect accompaniment to the track. Shot by Toronto filmmaker Dan LeMoyne, the video depicts the back-and-forth relationship described in the lyrics. Lloyd and his lover alternate between embracing and creating distance between each other against the backdrop of a warmly lit room. A film grain overlay in the video gives it a vintage feel, adding to the laidback style of the song. Myles Lloyd released his full EP on November 21, ending the year with a bang with 9.1 million listeners and 36.8 million streams on Spotify.
GLAY – โDead or Aliveโ
Japanese rock legends GLAY geared up for an epic collaboration with the major anime series Record of Ragnarok III. Just on the heels of the bandโs 30th anniversary, GLAY delivered their first single in nearly two years, โDead or Alive.โ This release marks their 63rd single โ and their seasoned expertise in the field is more than evident. โDead or Aliveโ is a thrilling rock anthem booming with intensity, on-par with the battle-driven spirit of Record of Ragnarok III. The song serves as the opening theme for the popular animeโs third installment, which will be available to stream worldwide on Netflix starting December 10.
Guitarist TAKURO composed and wrote โDead or Aliveโ around Record of Ragnarok IIIโs worldview. โWe are extremely honored to be in charge of the opening theme song for a work that has garnered immense popularity since its first season,โ TAKURO commented in a press release. โWe produced โDead Or Aliveโ keeping in mind Record of Ragnarok‘s magnificent story and the struggles of each character who cannot be judged by ‘justice’ alone. Furthermore, the song is a fusion of the world of thrilling action and the inherent intensity of rock music.โ As the band gears up for their first national hall tour in three years, โHIGHCOMMUNICATIONS TOUR 2026 โGLAY-complete BEST,โ GLAY prove that they are more than qualified to embody the power nestled within Record of Ragnarok III.
Michele Lu – โNavelโ
The third single added to her discography, โNavelโ displays Micheleโs songwriting abilities and unique vocal tone. This track runs just under two and half minutes, but is just as quick to reel listeners in. โNavelโ shows the point of view of a woman repeatedly brushed off by a lover who takes a tactfully honest approach to talk to him.
Micheleโs voice in the intro begins slightly muffled and distorted, reminiscent of leaving a voicemail. With the first verse, her vocals grow in volume and power, a reflection of her desire to strike a message straight to the heart. Michele no longer wants the transactional aspect her lover believes love should be. โI have been hallucinating visions / Of him asking questions and finally wanting to listen,โ she sings, showing how neglected sheโs felt. The lyrics continue to single her lover out through his actions, which others have begun to notice as well. When Michele ends the song with a final muffled chorus, she does so with self-respect. โA sucker punch in the navel / Iโll keep going only if Iโm able,โ she declares. For those harboring the same hurt in a relationship, let โNavelโ be a reminder to never settle for less.
Junghoon – โBelongโ
Setting the mood for the perfect winter season, Junghoon has officially made his solo debut with his first single album โBelong.โ The album consists of two tracks composed and written by Junghoon.
The lead single โBelongโ focuses on appreciating special, quiet moments with loved ones. A perfect tune for the first fall of snow, the track has an R&B feel with soft vocals and subtle, melodic guitar strings. Junghoon uses these elements to describe the first moment in finding a sense of belonging in someoneโs arms: โThe way you hold me tight, I never felt this love, babe, is where I belong.โ The single is a love song perfect for a night in with a significant other or loved one.
The second track, โSlowly,โ continues the R&B sound and captures the feelings and tension that rise when someone starts developing feelings for another person. With a mellow, dramatic sound created by Junghoon’s crooning vocals over piano chords, the song is a perfect follow-up to the first track and a fitting ending to the album. To celebrate the release of his first single album, Junghoon will be hosting a release party in Seoul on December 21st.
Lexa Gates – โEstrangedโ
While wrapping up the end of her North American Tour in her hometown of New York City, Lexa Gates has released her newest single โEstranged,โ as part of the announcement for her sophomore album โI am.โ The track is filled with moody and raw emotions and vocals, telling the story of someone that wants a significant other to not be a love that fades away in the glow of ambition. With captivating lyrics that reflect the trackโs longing โ โThought we had a good thing going / Did I do something wrong? (No more than a hello, hello)โ โ Lexa searches for explanations she hopes to understand someday. For now, she pours her emotions into the song, opening up not only to the public but also to herself.
The music video for โEstrangedโ was also released alongside the album announcement. The video takes us through the city of New York as if we are Lexaโs shadow, discovering the city together with her partner and showing both the upsides and downsides of the relationship. The music video stays true to the significance of the song, ending the video with a shot of Lexa being alone. The album โI amโ will be released on January 16th. Meanwhile, you can watch the music video for โEstrangedโ here.
Manifest – โAmatรถrโ
Turkish girl group Manifest is back to end the year with style! After the success of their latest full album, โManifestival,โ the group has returned with their newest single, โAmator.โ The pop-heavy track feels like a club-ready anthem youโd play while getting ready with friends, exuding an empowering and independent vibe. A track that calls out those who have done wrong, acted fake, or put on an act in front of others, the song reinforces these feelings with lyrics such as, โWith the way you go, no one will believe your knockoff lines.โ Determined not to repeat the same mistakes or let anyone else fall for this personโs lies, the song feels like a promise to both listeners and the group itself.
The single includes a sharp yet playful racing-inspired music video, where Manifest goes head-to-head against the man portrayed in the song and his web of lies. The girls showcase their dance moves and outfits in a series of go-kart racing and locker room-inspired scenes. The lyric โTricks and gimmicks wonโt work on meโ takes center stage as the girls finish and win the race. A reminder not to let someone bring you down with their lies, โAmatorโ feels like a manifesto for those who choose themselves.
JASP.ER – โTOUCHโ
Nearly a year after their debut, Thai boy group JASP.ER has come back with their latest single, โTOUCH.โ Signed to Riser Music, a music subsidiary of Thai entertainment powerhouse GMMTV, JASP.ER is made up of four members: Aou Thanaboon, Pond Naravit, Joong Archen, and Santa Pongsapak. โTOUCHโ is their third single โ a catchy pop R&B song with Afrobeat influences. Itโs straightforward, sexy, and the perfect song to warm up chilly winter evenings.
The track describes a strong physical attraction, asking someone to get closer because โjust looking into my eyes isnโt enough.โ JASP.ER encourages the listener to release inhibitions and โmove it to the rhythmโ to see if theyโre a perfect fit. The four members do just that in the music video, clad in chic outfits as they dance together on a stage. Dialing up the heat, they sing with burning hearts and steam rising from their skintight tops as they beckon the listener to โjust let it burn tonight with fire.โ
The group chemistry is undeniable, with low tone raps, falsetto high notes, and a blend of all four voices in the final chorus to top it off. JASP.ER have set the stage for their strong musical presence in only their first year, giving fans much to look forward to in the new year.
