Here are our daily picks for you featuring The Young Mothers, Carlie Hanson, LOST LIKE US and more!
1. “Lost Like Me” – LOST LIKE US
LA-based electronic duo LOST LIKE US shares their debut dance single, “Lost Like Me,” an electrifying soundscape of vibrant synths and hard-hitting bass drops. Intertwined with soaring vocals, the song’s lyricism delves into feelings of uncertainty and disorientation. The track was selected as the winner for Discovery Project’s DJ/producer competition back in 2024, granting the duo a spot in that year’s festival lineup and a release on the label.
2. “covering faces” – Carlie Hanson
Up next is “covering faces,” an intimate and introspective alt-pop hit by singer-songwriter Carlie Hanson. Hailing from Wisconsin, the 24-year-old explores the confidence that can arise from leaving a toxic friendship. “I really bet you wish you knew me now,” Hanson sings, her enchanting vocals woven between acoustic guitar lines and subtle synthesizers. Listen to “covering faces” on Hanson’s latest EP, too late to cry, out today via Fearless.
3. Gravity” – Michelle Kash
New York-born, Billboard-topping songwriter Michelle Kash unveils her seductive new single, “Gravity.” Drenched in shimmering lights, the accompanying video complements the slow-burning track’s sultry vocals and sparkling synths. The song’s lyrics were inspired by a coincidental encounter with Lou Reed, The Velvet Underground’s lead singer and songwriter, which sparked the foundation for desire, temptation and love.
4. “Into Your Eyes” – Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith
“Into Your Eyes” is a mesmerizing, atmospheric single by electronic artist, producer and composer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. Delicate and intentional, the track’s ethereal lyricism follows the infectious nature of a past lover. “This song is about perceiving the space of presence,” Smith explains. “Being ‘with’ something / someone. Being with the experience of change, allowing attraction & admiration to evoke aesthetics. It is also about the fragile edge of love that embraces destruction but protects it . . .” Looking ahead, Smith has announced her next solo full-length album, GUSH, set to be released August 22, 2025.
5. “Song For a Poet” – The Young Mothers
Closing out today’s selection is “Song For a Poet,” a roughly ten-minute-long experimental track by The Young Mothers. Known for their hip-hop and Afro-grooves, this piece incorporates the sporadic jazziness of a trumpet soloist, specifically Dennis González, father of the band’s Stefan González. These instrumentals capture the haunting spoken word contributions by select artists. Today, “Song For a Poet” marks The Young Mothers’ second single off their most recent album, Better If You Let It.
