It’s often difficult to parse the good from the bad in popular music. Streaming services make it nearly impossible to sift through the thousands of songs released on any given day. That’s why, here at Charted, we round up some of the latest hottest tracks. You’ll likely recognize a few names here and there, and other times, you might stumble upon your next obsession. Don’t worry, we’ll only serve you the cream of the crop – pop and R&B earworms so good that you’ll completely upend your weekly listening habits.
Here are 5 fresh songs to add to your playlist:
“Loose” – ENHYPEN
There’s a chance you’ll sweat with ENHYPEN‘s latest jam session. “Loose” goes down smooth as silk, as the group entices you to fall into their groovy trance. “I just can’t take it anymore” is a siren song. “I’m begging you to please give me a sign.” The production is electric, sending shockwaves throughout the body, right down to the toes.
“Anymore” – Rozes
“I stay frozen, living in the moment,” sings the criminally underrated Rozes. With “Anymore,” she delivers a wallop of a vocal performance. She howls to the midnight moon before pulling in the reigns for a somber meditation. She makes room for both approaches in just three minutes. She longs for goodbye not to be goodbye, the flames of a former relationship still not extinguished. The candle lights her path as she expresses everything she’s always wanted.
“28 and Dying” – Niki Demar
Niki Demar goes for a lyrical sucker punch with her new song. “We’re all gonna die, myself included, so we do we try,” she sings over grunge-soaked guitars and arena-sized drums. “28 and Dying” hooks into your eardrums, melodically infectious yet lyrically profound and moving. The pressure of death hangs in the air, clasping onto Demar’s shoulders. There’s no escaping, as he attests. You can only go along for the ride life has in store for you.
“Duped” – Theo Tams
Theo Tams admits to being a “glutton for punishment” through the drip-drop funnel cloud of his new song. “Duped” calls out an ex-lover, while he also takes responsibility for his own actions. Guitars are fuzzy, with a groove for days. Tams’ voice has never sounded so tangy sweet. “Do people really change?” he ponders. Well, he may not have the answers quite yet; all he can do is sing through it.
“Finish Line” – Davis Mallory
“You’re my highest high / My lowest low,” Davis Mallory admits. Caught in love’s net, he considers a love might not be good for him, yet it offers up a “finish line” at the end. “Got to get to you,” he coos over shattering production and jagged piano keys. “Finish Line” is a slow-roller, curling off his tongue like syrup.
