“Carpet Burn” is the title track on Bradley Simpson’s debut EP Carpet Burn. The whole EP is a no-skip one, but this song in particular has been stuck in our head since its release. We have been a big fan of Bradley Simpson for over 10 years now so we were so excited for this release. This EP is a teaser to Bradley’s debut album The Panic Years which comes out next month on February 28.

“In the Air” is Junwav’s first release of 2025 and we were so excited for this release from his snippets leading up to the release. This song is so calming due to his warm vocals and the R&B, guitar production. His vocal layering is really beautiful which makes this song very ethereal. We have been debut fans of Junwav and cannot wait for what else he will release this year.

“fall into you” marks the debut single of Ash Randers, who also performs under the name melatonin boy. This single is a new genre and style for him and it suits him so well. “fall into you” is sort of in the indie-rock genre—the genre we absolutely love. We are so excited to hear what other songs Ash Randers will release this year.

“Lonely Lover” is a collaboration song that came to us as a surprise! We never expected JUNNY to collaborate with Pink Sweat$, but we were so excited as Pink Sweat$ is an artist we absolutely love. “Lonely Lover” is such a catchy R&B style song and the production is high quality. We also had never listened to Vedo before, but we love his vocal style on this song.

“REBEL HEART” by IVE is an upbeat, romantic Korean pop song. It’s so catchy that the chorus was constantly stuck in our head. We absolutely love the production, vocals, concept and lyrics of this song. Overall, it was such an amazing song and IVE did not disappoint with this release.

“Mogacho Uzo” by Lorna is a song we discovered this month at a party. This song is a Goan song sung in the language “Konkani”. It’s just a very catchy song and we love the vibes of it. As well, the production is great as it’s a danceable song.

“Free Myself” is a song on Jimmy Brown’s latest album love II(Deluxe): YUJIN. We love the slow, R&B vibes of this song with Jimmy Brown’s vocals. The lyrics are also so beautiful and sentimental. We really hope we can hear this song live one day.

“Stop there” is a song on HAAN and h3hyeon’s collaboration EP H 3 H. We really loved most songs on the EP, but we found ourselves replaying this one a lot. It was constantly stuck in our head due to it’s slow, groove production style. h3hyeon also has a unique voice and it really pairs well with this style of music.

“Magic 8 Ball” is Orion Song’s latest release and it’s so catchy. The production is giving dark, R&B vibes, but Orion’s vocals adds a smooth, romantic R&B style to it. We absolutely love the song title and lyrics. This song kind of opens a new style for Orion Song in our opinion and we cannot wait to hear what else he releases this year.
Release Date: January 8, 2025
“Happy Alone” is a single on BSS’ 2nd Single Album TELEPARTY. BSS is a sub-unit made up of the SEVENTEEN members DK, Hoshi, and Seungkwan. This song is a little different from their usual style in SEVENTEEN, but also falls under the K-pop genre. This song has elements of dance and R&B and it’s overall just such a catchy song and has a funky vibe to it as well which reminds us of Bruno Mars.
Release Date: January 6, 2025
“Yay” is the last track on ONEW’s latest EP CONNECTION. ONEW is a member of the Korean pop boy group SHINee. We have been listening to his solo music for a while and we really love his style. “Yay” is kind of hip-hop, but also falls under the K-pop genre infused with other elements. The chorus when he sings “oh oh oh oh 만세 (yay)” is so catchy and was stuck in our head constantly.
Release Date: December 27, 2024
“Say It To My Face” is a song on Karencici’s album Made For You. We discovered her last year and have grown to be fans of her music. This collaboration song with ØZI was so exciting to us as we also enjoy his music. This song is so catchy at the chorus with “say it to my face” part. Additionally, Karencici and ØZI’s vocals mesh well together.
