Few artists had a more impactful 2025 than the Los Angeles singer-songwriter, who not only released his critically acclaimed sophomore album, but also toured North America, had key features on Justin Bieber's Swag and Bon Iver's SABLE, fABLE, and made his acting debut in Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another.

HTRK have been making their gloomy, sensual brand of music, at the intersection of electronic pop and noise rock, for 22 years. To mark the milestone comes String of Hearts, a collection of covers and remixes featuring an all-star cast of friends and collaborators, from next-gen underground favourites like Coby Sey to fellow old-school experimentalists Liars. This brilliant, genre-agnostic record allows you to trace the breadth of the Melbourne band's shapeshifting sound, echoes of which can now be found all over underground and commercial music,

After a two-week whirlwind in L.A. filled with studio sessions with some of his bucket list collaborators like Gould, trumpeter Keyon Harrold and beloved L.A. saxophonist Terrace Martin, Conrad unveiled "Whimsy," an 11-track alternative jazz detour. Rich with songwriting tinged with sensual winks, live instrumentation (piano, horn section and drums) and a spoken word interlude by Bay Davis (that is reminiscent of Meshell Ndegeocello), "Whimsy" is a masterclass in following your own intuition and creating freely - a testament to his Cancer sun.

To have our peers, friends and creative collaborators from here share that with us is very important. It's very important because it's part of our identity. We're not simply 'rock guys' in this band Soundgarden. We're rock guys in this band Soundgarden that helped establish the Seattle scene and the sound. The geography is very important to our identity. It's where we are, it's where we came from. It's who we are.

Enviable collaborations with the likes of Elton John and Joni Mitchell have inspired and elevated Brandi Carlile's musical profile in the last several years. And at this point, the multi-Grammy award winner could easily coast along via the connections she's made, putting out more duets and tributes, or songwriting for superstars and legends, like her work with Tanya Tucker. But that'd be too easy.

Ed Sheeran is one of the most prolific musicians of the 21st century, with eight top-five albums on the Billboard 200, nine top-10 songs, the second-highest-streamed song on Spotify ever, and four Grammy wins from 17 nominations.

Kith is once again blending sport, style, and storytelling with its latest collaboration with the New York Yankees, delivering a collection that pays homage to one of the most decorated franchises in professional sports.

Sexyy Red is proving that 2025 might just be her most defining year yet. From high-profile features to pop-leaning collaborations, the St. Louis rapper has consistently found new ways to keep her name in conversation - and now, she's back with fresh heat. Her latest single, "Is You Coo," adds another standout track to her growing catalog and sets the tone for her highly anticipated performance at Coachella 2026.

The sounds are microscopic and synthetic, either glowing like LEDs or gleaming like cold steel, but they leave sizzling craters on impact. Melody and rhythm merge into a rapid-fire spray that makes a mockery of musical modes and scales even while he works within them, thanks to Max/MSP devices that the English artist designs himself. It can feel solitary, almost maddening-the work of an artist obsessively trying to one-up himself.

California's hip-hop scene has a new voice pushing its way to the forefront, and his name is Wallie the Sensei. After a year packed with career milestones, the rising rapper has officially returned with his first single since September 2024, "Dip." It's a track that sees him stepping into the spotlight with help from fellow West Coast heavyweights Ty Dolla $ign and Blxst - a combination sure to grab attention.

For Byrne's first album since his hugely acclaimed American Utopia tour and the subsequent Spike Lee-directed film he's working with an orchestra, as well as St Vincent and Paramore singer Hayley Williams, among others. The two tracks released so far, She Explains Things To Me and Everybody Laughs, have proved to be sweetly sunny and driven by acoustic guitar. The accompanying tour due to reach Europe next year will apparently blend visual art, storytelling and music into one compelling live performance.

Chaco has rolled out a number of buzzy collaborations that have brought in significant revenue and social engagement, including partnerships with Fishwife, Bob Marley’s family, and Waffle House.

"This song is about desperately trying to hold on to past versions of yourself for self preservation. The fear of the unknown is so overwhelming that sometimes the best solution is to sit with it instead of fighting or running from it."

The EP opens with "Behold," the only solo track in the collection. It sets the tone with JID's signature vocal acrobatics and dense lyricism, weaving intricate rhyme schemes over a haunting, skeletal beat.
