“Vegas Days” By JCCutter
Genre- ROCK
Release Date - 13 Mar 26
Location - United States, New Mexico
Gritty rhythms and self-reflective confessional themes rarely blend this well. JCCutter, the U.S.-based rock musician, has me wanting to leave my lazy days behind and get on my feet to dance and live life to the fullest. This track truly does have it all.
Vegas Days represents everything that's right with the Rock scene.
“International Power” By Exzenya
Genre - HIP-HOP
Release Date - 17 Feb 26
Location - United States, Remote
The independent hip-hop artist, Exzenya, has hit the bullseye with International Power. It makes you feel so powerful, it's almost hypnotising. I would personally love to play it on repeat whenever I need to remind myself who I am. It's truly a masterpiece that keeps you immersed till the end.
"International Power" is as intense as it is immersive.
“Too Much On My Mind” By Crooner Ed
Genre- BLUES
Release Date - 24 Jan 26
Location - United States, San Jose
This song by Crooner Ed will have you finding joy even on your miserable days. It adds slight whimsy to sad thoughts, regular struggles and the "same olds". This song is going on my personal tough day playlist. His songs remind me of Bo Burnham's performances. All his tracks deliver truth bombs, funny intrusive thoughts and enthusiastic energy. Crooner Ed's songs scream, "No brooding, just joy, even when you're not at your best."
Say goodbye to the same old sad songs with "Too Much On My Mind".
“Sophomore Slump” By Ava Valianti
Genre- DREAM POP
Release Date - 27 Feb 26
Location - United States, Newbury
Ava Valianti has a vocal texture that soothes, yet wakes you up. Sophomore Slump is a song that takes you right back to being sixteen (if you aren't sixteen now). It's relatable, funny, sad and confusing - exactly what adolescence feels like for most of us. Her work justifies the pop genre in a refreshing and fun way.
Your bad days need a musical companion and Sophomore Slump plays that role perfectly.
