SAILORR – “DUVET”
We’ve missed SAILORR so much, and apparently she’s missed us, too. The self-proclaimed “retired crashout” has released a deluxe version of her debut album, which is now titled FROM FLORIDA’S FINEST DELU/XXX [for my delusional ex]. Only two weeks ago, she released a sneak peek of the deluxe with “LOCKED IN” – a track that has already surpassed one million streams on Spotify.
The release we are particularly hooked on is “DUVET,” 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 “GRRL’S GRRL,” though, sonically, “DUVET” 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 SAILORR’s voice. Once you hear her sing “Put your girlfriend on to the sound of my songs,” you’ll 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 – but that’s just the SAILORR we know and love.
Sylo – “Seraphine”
Korean-Canadian artist Sylo is finishing 2025 boldly with his latest single “Seraphine.” Dedicated to the idea of a femme fatale that fills his thoughts, “Seraphine” 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, “Seraphine, got me on my knees.” 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, “Seraphine, so witchy and mysterious. The beauty in her feminine intuition, something you’ll always chase but can never truly have.” While “Seraphine” may be pointing at a specific person, the song’s title can more widely be used metaphorically, calling out to the Seraphines of the world who own their confidence and independence.
To hear “Seraphine” and more live, make sure to check out Sylo’s tour The Harder You Try, kicking off in January and continuing into February alongside his co-performer Jesse Baez.
CHUNG HA – “Christmas Again”
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 “Christmas Again,” a slow pop ballad wrapped in snowy nostalgia. CHUNG HA’s voice glides gently across the melody as she admits, “It’s been a hell of a ride and an emotional year.” From there, she leans into the tenderness of homecoming, singing about seeing “all of the magic, angels aglow” as though the world looks a bit cheery now that she’s back where she belongs. Each verse feels like stepping into a room full of love you’ve been missing and desperately wishing to experience again.
The song resonates even for those who don’t celebrate a winter holiday. Its message isn’t 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, it’s her fans. The outro is proof, as she proclaims, “I’d stay forever like this.” The warmth of “Christmas Again” 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 – “Welcome to Our Show Tonight”
Travis Japan is back with their third studio album ‘s travelers, a vibrant, genre-hopping seventeen-track collection that is full of fun, groove, and cinematics. At the center of the septet’s jazz is “Welcome to Our Show Tonight,” a funky, retro anthem that feels like an open invitation to their sparkling world. From the first “na-na-na,” the track immediately launches listeners into big band swings, catchy hooks, and the group’s signature bubble-gum charm. Lyrics like “Gently put down the burden you’re carrying / All we need is your smile” 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, “Welcome to our show tonight.”
The music video for “Welcome to Our Show Tonight” amplifies Travis Japan’s 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 – so don’t hesitate, and step onto Travis Japan’s musical dancefloor with “Welcome to Our Show Tonight.”
Myles Lloyd – “Voodoo”
Montreal-born artist Myles Lloyd is back with a new music video for the single “Voodoo” off his latest EP, I’m Still Thinking. “Voodoo” is a sensual R&B track with a guitar melody strung throughout to complement Lloyd’s 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. “But right now I’m incapable,” he laments in the lyrics, “Of loving you like I wish to.” Despite this, the relationship continues. Lloyd describes himself in the track as a “King of patience, but with you I’m rushing.”
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 – “Dead or Alive”
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 band’s 30th anniversary, GLAY delivered their first single in nearly two years, “Dead or Alive.” This release marks their 63rd single — and their seasoned expertise in the field is more than evident. “Dead or Alive” 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 anime’s third installment, which will be available to stream worldwide on Netflix starting December 10.
Guitarist TAKURO composed and wrote “Dead or Alive” around Record of Ragnarok III’s worldview. “We are extremely honored to be in charge of the opening theme song for a work that has garnered immense popularity since its first season,” TAKURO commented in a press release. “We produced ‘Dead Or Alive’ 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.” As the band gears up for their first national hall tour in three years, “HIGHCOMMUNICATIONS TOUR 2026 ‘GLAY-complete BEST,” GLAY prove that they are more than qualified to embody the power nestled within Record of Ragnarok III.
Michele Lu – “Navel”
The third single added to her discography, “Navel” displays Michele’s songwriting abilities and unique vocal tone. This track runs just under two and half minutes, but is just as quick to reel listeners in. “Navel” shows the point of view of a woman repeatedly brushed off by a lover who takes a tactfully honest approach to talk to him.
Michele’s 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. “I have been hallucinating visions / Of him asking questions and finally wanting to listen,” she sings, showing how neglected she’s 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. “A sucker punch in the navel / I’ll keep going only if I’m able,” she declares. For those harboring the same hurt in a relationship, let “Navel” be a reminder to never settle for less.
Junghoon – “Belong”
Setting the mood for the perfect winter season, Junghoon has officially made his solo debut with his first single album “Belong.” The album consists of two tracks composed and written by Junghoon.
The lead single “Belong” 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 someone’s arms: “The way you hold me tight, I never felt this love, babe, is where I belong.” The single is a love song perfect for a night in with a significant other or loved one.
The second track, “Slowly,” 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 – “Estranged”
While wrapping up the end of her North American Tour in her hometown of New York City, Lexa Gates has released her newest single “Estranged,” as part of the announcement for her sophomore album “I am.” 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 track’s longing — “Thought we had a good thing going / Did I do something wrong? (No more than a hello, hello)” — 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 “Estranged” was also released alongside the album announcement. The video takes us through the city of New York as if we are Lexa’s 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 “I am” will be released on January 16th. Meanwhile, you can watch the music video for “Estranged” here.
Manifest – “Amatör”
Turkish girl group Manifest is back to end the year with style! After the success of their latest full album, “Manifestival,” the group has returned with their newest single, “Amator.” The pop-heavy track feels like a club-ready anthem you’d 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, “With the way you go, no one will believe your knockoff lines.” Determined not to repeat the same mistakes or let anyone else fall for this person’s 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 “Tricks and gimmicks won’t work on me” takes center stage as the girls finish and win the race. A reminder not to let someone bring you down with their lies, “Amator” feels like a manifesto for those who choose themselves.
JASP.ER – “TOUCH”
Nearly a year after their debut, Thai boy group JASP.ER has come back with their latest single, “TOUCH.” 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. “TOUCH” is their third single — a catchy pop R&B song with Afrobeat influences. It’s 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 “just looking into my eyes isn’t enough.” JASP.ER encourages the listener to release inhibitions and “move it to the rhythm” to see if they’re 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 “just let it burn tonight with fire.”
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.
