"Church" - Aly and AJ

The only religion I follow is that of Aly and AJ.

"Think of Me" - The Veronicas

What a way to make a comeback.

"Curly Adventure" - CHAI

This is exactly the video this track called for.

"Con Altura" - Rosalía ft. J Balvin

Call your clique and learn these moves, stat. Rosalía is about to be the queen of the club.

"Lights On" - Izzy Bizu

Almost too hot to handle.

"Thinkin Bout You" - Ciara

Has Ciara been listening to a lot of Prince lately? I'm into it.

"Long Way Back" - Kid Sister

I want to listen to this with a stiff drink and a roaring fireplace nearby.

phAses - Melii

I went through all the phases of realizing I am truly that bitch while listening to this.

"Just Friends" - Olivia O'Brien

Yeah, we've all been fed those same lines. But O'Brien singing them makes them hurt a little less.

Devinyl Splits no. 12 - The Front Bottoms, Kevin Devine

Best friends cover each other's tunes, because why not?

"Win You Over" - Whethan ft. Bearson and Soak

Me @ my own self-deprecating humor.

"Here For Ya" - Kim Viera

Now that's how you sample a classic.

"Workin'" - Amber-Simone

This is so lush.

Cosmic Wind -

LION BABE

You heard correctly: it's finally here.

ICY - Saweetie

Of course we stan.
