"Holding Your Tongue" - Terror Jr

Well, Terror Jr has another Bop City installment coming and guess what, it's already raised the bar higher than TerroRising. The future is gloriously terrifying.

Wash & Set - Leikeli47

The queen has arrived. Leikeli47 holds nothing back on her debut record. Come on, vigor. We are so here for her ode to Milk Makeup. 

"mood" - dvsn

A mood! 

"Let Her Be" - Starcrawler

Love live rock 'n' roll. Just you wait for this song's breakdown. Blood, guts, and glory or go home.

"Me4U (feat. Kim Chi)" - Danny L Harle

This. Is. HUGE, Danny. HUGE! 

"OT" - John.k

Honestly, John.k wouldn't have to work that much overtime to get what he's singing about in this smooth whiskey drink of a song.

"North Pole (feat. Austin Feinstein)" - Injury Reserve

What if Terrence Malick made a music video? It would look like this.

"Half-Light (feat. Kelly Zutrau of 'Wet')" - Rostam

The tenderness of Rostam's latest is palpable. Unrequited love is the worst.

"Frontline" - Kelela

Kelela reminds that '90s R&B never goes out of style with this nostalgic new tune. 

Always Never Home EP - Syd

Sweet and sultry elements come together in Syd's short, but satisfying new solo EP. So, pour yourself a glass of wine, slip into something more comfortable and let the R&B crooner transport you to another dimension. 

"Blah Blah" - Cherryade

Cherryade's moxie is everything we want to be. Take down those shallow folks, Cherryade. You run the world.
