Tunes that have the people talking.

Finding fresh songs can be a challenge. And how can we always keep up with the new releases and beefs out there?

This week, our list of songs to listen to is your fast-track to a new playlist add.

Whether you’re into the slow burn of introspective lyrics or the pulse-pounding vibes of a club banger, there’s a track here to tune your week to the right frequency.

Not Like Us – Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar X

Released amidst a heated lyrical battle with Drake, this track has taken the rivalry to another level. Lamar pulls no punches, leveling explosive allegations and setting the record straight in his eyes.

The song broke Spotify’s single-day streaming record for a hip-hop track with a staggering 6.59 million listens, surpassing Drake’s own “Girls Want Girls.” On the Billboard Hot 100, “Not Like Us” outperforms Drake’s diss track “Push Ups,” showcasing Lamar’s dominant grip on the charts.

With a sharp, cutting flow and relentless energy, Lamar not only crafts a narrative but also solidifies his stance as a powerhouse in the industry, proving that his pen and mind are as potent as ever.

After Hours – Kehlani

After Hours – Kehlani

We’ve likely all had some urges, and Kehlani is open on expressing hers in “After Hours”. Kehlani energizes with an upbeat tempo, sampling Nina Sky’s “Move Ya Body” to create a danceable, club-like vibe. She expresses a longing to her partner for intimacy and for them to “stay after hours” at a club for a, well, deeper connection.

MOST WANTED - Beyonce, Miley Cyrus

MOST WANTED – Beyonce, Miley Cyrus

On Beyoncé’s much-anticipated album “Cowboy Carter,” the track “II Most Wanted” sees her teaming up with Miley Cyrus. The theme is essentially ride or die – lyrics like “I’ll be your shotgun rider ‘til the day I die” are often sung.

The song artfully blends their distinctive vocal styles—Beyoncé’s powerful riffs and Cyrus’s clear, simple runs—into a narrative about freedom and sense of friendship on the open road. Miley posted on Instagram revealing her deep admiration for Beyoncé, and how personally significant the collab truly was.

Fried – Future and Metro Boomin

Fried – Future and Metro Boomin

Future and Metro Boomin hit the scene hard with “Fried (She a Vibe),” a track off their album “WE DON’T TRUST YOU.” The essence of the song is that high women are a vibe. This song is a powerhouse of trap beats, with Future’s iconic auto-tuned echo crafting an intoxicating hook.

Too Sweet – Hozier

Too Sweet – Hozier

Dive into the rich, bluesy vibes of Hozier’s “Too Sweet,” a standout track from his recent EP “Unheard.” The song pulls its punchy themes straight from Dante’s “Inferno,” exploring the depths of Gluttony with a melody that sticks and stirs the soul.

Hitting the charts hard, this track didn’t just climb—it soared, marking Hozier’s hottest hit since his iconic “Take Me to Church.” It recently hit #1 on the Billboard Top 100. The song majorly explores the slow-burn exploration of contrasting lifestyles between two people and the balance required to maintain love and personal freedom
