From the dark and slow production to the eerie and gorgeous vocals, Charlotte starts the song off by confessing she can’t “stand being in love.” She’s addicted, obsessed, and it’s feeling like her situationship is turning into a toxic romance. “I’m too undone by your love and I can’t get enough” hits deep, as the feeling she gets is pulling her in, but her head is telling her she needs to run. The push and pull of the lyrics fascinate me, as it reminds me of my own past experiences. I’m sure many could also relate.

It’s a fun, production-heavy record with moments of brilliance and long stretches of missed potential. Was it worth the eight-year wait? Not entirely. But it’s still a solid release with several standout tracks and flashes of the artist Rocky can still be. I enjoyed more than half of the songs so I definitely will be attending one of his U.S Tour stops.

If you’re looking to get lost in the romantic haze Ari Lennox exudes, her new single “Twin Flame” offers exactly that — while also setting the stage and vibe for her long-awaited (and absolutely anticipated) upcoming third studio album Vacancy, expected to be released on January 23, 2026.

With an upbeat opening and an infectious, groovy melody ’til the last second, Kungs and Theophilus London take us back in time with their new single, “Galaxy.” The production lives somewhere between nu-disco and synth-pop, driven by open snares, cowbells, and glowing synths that pulse steadily on the downbeat. It’s the kind of sound that immediately transports you. Neon lights, sticky dance floors, and that humid Miami-in-the-’80s feeling where everything feels just a little unreal.

Taylor Swift’s Life of a Showgirl is more like Life of a Billionaire High School Mean Girl. This should have been a daring, self-aware pop reinvention. Instead, it lands like a lifeless brand exercise – petty, watered-down, and strangely hollow for an artist for made heartbreak cinematic and rebellion feel personal.

Conan Gray’s heart-wrenching album Wishbone leaves listeners with no more tears left to shed. This personal and self-discovering project explores queer discourse, self-anxieties, family trauma, and more.

This album is not something you’d want to hear if you’re one of their exes, that’s for sure. It lets listeners into the messy realities of their breakups in a way that’s too good not to hear.

Love is war. Espionage, Rainbow Kitten Surprise’s Valentine’s Day release, doesn’t whisper sweet nothings — it drags you straight into the battlefield of heartbreak, betrayal, and queer survival.

Lola Young doesn’t write breakup songs — she writes post-mortems.
