Here are our daily picks for you featuring The Lumineers, Chance Peña, Ayumu Imazu and more!
1. “THRIFTED” – Ayumu Imazu
Japanese singer-songwriter Ayumu Imazu has released “THRIFTED,” an infectious pop anthem about loving someone amidst all their “wrinkles” and “stains.” “Wrinkles all around but you’re in good hands / ‘Cause I’ma love you ’til we’re vintage,” Imazu sings, his dreamy vocals layered with funky guitar riffs and syncopated percussion rhythms. With creative lyricism and catchy beats, this track is the perfect track to kick off this spring season.
2. “Good Love Die” – Chance Peña
Up next is “Good Love Die,” a heartbreaking folk ballad by Texas-born artist Chance Peña. With soft acoustic fingerpickings and poetically raw vocals, the song offers listeners an intimate glimpse into the pain of a failed relationship. “It’s a song about letting a good love die,” Peña explains. “Going from thinking you’re gonna spend the rest of your lives together to asking each other ‘how did we end up here?'”
3. “Automatic” – The Lumineers
The Lumineers, a folk powerhouse duo from Colorado, have unveiled their newest heartfelt song, “Automatic.” Reflective and nostalgic, the release features emotion-laden vocals, subtle atmospheric elements and acoustic guitar lines. “Automatic” is also the title track for The Lumineers’ fifth studio album, which was debuted on February 14, 2025. Give it a listen today and check out ticket information for their upcoming Automatic World Tour.
4. “Dust in the Wind” – Corey Taylor, Bad Omens
Singer-songwriter Corey Taylor and metal rock band Bad Omens have teamed up to release their rendition of Kansas’s “Dust in the Wind.” With slower vocals and a deeper, eerie-sounding tambre, the cover paints the famous track in a new light. It can be found on the 2024 “Queen of the Ring” soundtrack, a film that showcases the story of wrestling legend Mildred Burke.
5. “What’s Between Us” – Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith
Closing out today’s selection is “What’s Between Us,” an experimental, electronic hit by LA-based composer and producer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. Captivating and mysterious, the track sheds light on her ability to intertwine vivid synths with pulsating, choir-like vocals. “The song is about the balance between doubt and trust, between hesitation and surrender, and the courage to dive into something deeper without fully knowing where it will lead,” Smith shares.
