1. DeathByRomy: “City of Angels”
Grunge-serving DeathByRomy offers an alt-rock criticism of the culture of young Los Angeles, the “City of Angels.” She says without holding back, “Wasting away, you’re 20 something / Lying about your age.” The song features melodic, layered synths, adding excitement with each heavy guitar riff.
2. Vaultboy, Salem Ilese: “Closer”
Vaultboy teams up with singer/songwriter Salem Ilese for “Closer,” a track that expresses the whimsical yet anxiety-ridden limbo state of not knowing what the person you like thinks about you. It is a glistening, fun pop duet that makes light of the confusion that is romance.
3. Kat Robichaud: “Dirty Little Secret”
Artist Kat Robichaud delivers rock and roll showmanship with “Dirty Little Secret.” The song is part of her set at the Misfit Cabaret, her eccentric, musically-focused variety show located in San Francisco, California. Kat embodies confidence and freedom as she sings, “I want to be your guilty pleasure / I want to be the flesh that helps you scratch that itch.”
4. Bon Jovi: “Legendary”
The legendary Bon Jovi is back at it with “Legendary.” Fans who enjoy their classic emotional pop-rock style will appreciate this elevated version of Bon Jovi. The track is great for easy, optimistic, and carefree listening. He sings with a smile on his face, “Right where I am is where I want to be.”
5. Gunna, Offset: “Prada Dem”
The two rap powerhouses Gunna and Offset show off with “Prada Dem.” The sophisticated trap beat features ethereal orchestral and wind instrument samples, hooking the listener in. Matching the title, the music video features high-fashion photo-shoot scenes, and of course, Prada head-to-toe.
