Unflirt, “Air Turns Blue”

British indie popstress Unflirt is back with a lilting new tune where she sings about love in almost psychedelic terms. It feels like a perfect soundtrack for a modern rom-com, yet remains firmly rooted in the sound of 2026.

The Avalanches feat. Nikki Nair, Jessy Lanza, and Prentiss, “Together (Frost Children Remix)”

This remix is a thrilling union of electronic generations. By combining the musical optimism of The Avalanches with the propulsive production of Frost Children, the track creates a synthesis for the ages.

Victoria Monét feat. SZA, “See You In My Dreams”

Victoria Monét and SZA deliver heavenly harmonies on this track, which cleverly interpolates Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner” into a sweet, scorned lullaby.

Romy Mars, “The Rage”

Romy Mars continues to impress with her teenage pop sensibilities, offering a candid look at heartache and her unique upbringing.

sahn, “HOW LONG”

Somali-American singer sahn showcases remarkable self-possession on his debut album. “HOW LONG” captures the quiet, melancholic yearning that defines the transition into autumn.
