Hearts2Hearts – “Pretty Please”
Sugar, spice, and everything nice; Hearts2Hearts are back with their pastel charm on full display in new single “Pretty Please.” The New Jack Swing-flavoured pop track is full of refreshing energy and bubblegum vibes, blending candied vocals and punchy rap over a groovy production. The lyrics spotlight the simple joy of being together on life’s journey and finding magic in every shared moment. The interplay between the members feels playful yet sincere, capturing the warmth that has quickly made the group so beloved. Together, the girls sing in the chorus “I’ll run anywhere/With your hand in mine.” This track serves as the first taste of Hearts2Hearts upcoming debut mini-album FOCUS, soon to be released on October 20, setting the stage for even more upbeat vibrant songs from the group.
Kenshi Yonzeu & Hikaru Utada – “Jane Doe”
As the air grows crisp and the nights stretch longer, Kenshi Yonzeu and Hikaru Utada are joining forces for the first time on the new collaboration “Jane Doe.” Serving as the ending theme for Chainsaw Man — The Movie: Reze Arc, the track drifts between haunting and tender. Yonzeu’s sings of stark imagery “Goldfish released into a rusty pool/ An apple we hid in a shoebox” that’s woven against Utada’s chilling refrain, “Walking on broken glass barefoot/Drops of blood fall with each pang of pain, the track plunges you deep into darkness in all the right ways. “Jane Doe” is delicate yet unsettling with a melancholic pull, fitted for the end of summer as we head into Autumn. The pair’s voices circle each other like dancers in a dark ballroom, creating something that feels intimate and cinematic. With its haunting beauty, “Jane Doe” feels perfect for those nostalgic fall nights playlists, right on the cusp of a spooky season.

P1Harmony – “Dancing Queen”
K-pop group P1Harmony dropped their highly anticipated English EP EX. The album contains five tracks including “Dancing Queen.” This song is designed to have you up and dancing wherever you are. The lyrics describe being “drunk in love,” as the group sings about the whirlwind feeling that comes with falling in love. “Dancing Queen” hits all the nostalgic feels with guitar riffs and rock-infused beats reminiscent of the 2010s. Shifting smoothly from powerful vocals to light serenades, they perfectly capture the motions of becoming enamored with someone. “Dancing with my beauty / My princess, you’re like a movie / Don’t let go of my hand, my love / Yes, I’ve been waiting for you,” member Intak sings, tapping into lover boy mode. Whether it’s an instant spark with someone new or the beginning stages of a meaningful relationship, P1Harmony invites listeners to get lost in a dreamy romance.
Over October – “Dahan”
For fans of a good slow friends-to-lovers arc, Filipino alternative/rock band Over October has got you covered. Their latest release, “Dahan,” which means “slowly” in Tagalog, is the definition of experiencing a slow burn. The buildup of guitar progressions and mellow drums give off the feeling of being at a standstill in love. Unsure of what’s next to come, the lyrics reveal an intimate tension between two people. With the Autumn air bringing in a wave of new beginnings, “Dahan” sets the tone for taking things to the next level.
Ice Spice – “Baddie Baddie”
Ice Spice is back with a track that blends her Bronx roots with a pop culture classic. Her new single “Baddie Baddie” reimagines M.I.A. ‘s legendary “Bad Girls” through a Gen-Z lens, dripping with unapologetic confidence and signature Ice Spice flair. Incorporating M.I.A.’s timeless hook — “Live fast, die young, bad girls do it well” — the track is a meeting of two generations of women redefining what it means to own the spotlight. Ice Spice delivers verses packed with charm and playful wit. She raps about leveling up, being desired yet untouchable, and embracing her femininity. “Baddie Baddie” is dripping with attitude and equal parts cheekiness and boldness. It’s infectious, capturing the essence of Ice Spice’s rising stardom. It’s cheeky, bold, and fun—exactly the kind of track ready to soundtrack a girls’ night out.
Harra – “Tamasya di Angkasa”
Harra’s latest single “Tamasya di Angkasa” feels like a cosmic daydream bottled into a pop track. It’s the kind of song that belongs on the soundtrack of a movie — think the main character skipping through Central Park totally lost in love. Bright guitars, crisp drums, warm keys and airy synths turn the track into an upbeat rom-com anthem that feels like falling in love in real time.
The song carries a powerful heartbeat: a love that endures, even when life gets messy. Harra delivers their lines like vows set to a beat, with lyrics such as, “The two of us will be together, through light and darkness” and “Even when heat and rain come, a thousand storms stand in the way, you and I will endure.” They sing about love being not just a feeling but a choice. Yes, love is messy, but it’s also resilient, unstoppable, and full of hope.
JO1 – “Handz In My Pocket”
JO1 is back with a wink and drippin’ in swagger in “Handz In My Pocket,” a playful, high-energy anthem packed with mischief and confidence. The track’s filled with slick beats and the kind of pop hook that makes you want to replay it immediately. From the first verse, the members come out the gate swinging, with lyrics like “In my pocket, I got heat that’s burning that won’t stop” showing that JO1 is holding nothing back.
The chorus is easy to sing along to: “Hands in my pocket, headline, hot topic.” It’s like a playful dare and a bold declaration rolled into one. The English version of the original Japanese track makes it even more global-ready, inviting listeners everywhere to join in the fun. This single is the kind of track that makes you feel like strutting through life with your own superpower tucked right in your pocket.
Amanda Caesa – “Trouble”
What happens when your heart says, “stay” but your mind screams, “run?” Indonesian Singer-songwriter Amanda Caesa captures that tug-of-war in her newest single, “Trouble.” Inspired by her own experiences and a playlist full of Laufey, Amanda reveals her vulnerability, telling the story of being stuck in a toxic relationship that feels more like an obsession than love. She opens with the wistful line, “Baby, I think we’re lost in translation,” before confessing, “I think it’s just an obsession.” But instead of wrapping this struggle in heavy balladry, Amanda gives it a refreshing twist.
She juxtaposes her confessional lyrics against a breezy fusion of bossa nova, jazz, and pop. The melodic result is a song that sways gently and feels like a late-night reflection, soft yet nostalgic. The warm guitar chords and playful rhythm highlight the duality of the lyrics: sweet on the surface, but laced with tension underneath.
yung kai – “how do you dance?”
Canadian singer-songwriter yung kai is back, and he’s got us swaying into romance with his debut album, stay with the ocean, i’ll find you. At the front and center is the breezy, soft-guitar gem, “how do you dance?” Yung kai asks the ultimate question: can you teach me love…one awkward step at a time? With lines like “Hold like a flower in my hands/There’s nobody else just me and you and the moon,” the song drifts between shy crush energy and full-on swoon. It’s intimate and somehow makes fumbling through love feel utterly magical.
And if this dreamy indie-pop pop vibe isn’t enough, you can catch yung kai on his sold-out world tour “flowers, moon, and stars” kicking off September 30th in San Francisco. “How do you dance?” is just a slice of yung kai’s debut album, with an array of tracks that reflect on the themes of yearning, self-discovery, and the bittersweet complexities of love. So don’t be afraid to take yung kai’s invitation to the front rows of the sweetest slow dance of the year.
Other tracks in this week’s Sunday Spin playlist include “Dance with Me” by BGYO,“Truth & Dare” by AIMERS, and “Innocent Blue” by Omoinotake. Listen to everything mentioned and more, curated by Team EnVi only for you on Spotify.
