Dive into this week's hottest music releases, featuring Shygirl's infectious new track, Kesha's heartfelt ballad, a surprising collaboration between Lord Huron and Kristen Stewart, Nessa Barrett's thought-provoking single, and Sophie Powers' fun and energetic anthem.
From Shygirl’s stunning new collaboration to Kesha ’s gorgeous new ballad, check out just a few of our favorite releases from this week below: Since experiencing a new level of cultural breakthrough in 2024 thanks to her opening slot on Charli XCX & Troye Sivan’s Sweat Tour, UK DJ Shygirl is ready to hook you for good with her latest single.
“True Religion” boasts everything fans of Shygirl have come to hope for from her music — a singularly catchy hook (don’t be shocked if you randomly start singing “webcam, webcam, webcam girl” to yourself this weekend), impeccably-chosen guest stars (both Lovestory and PinkPanthress thrive on this bouncing, laid-back track) and a beat that you cannot shake. If “True Religion” doesn’t make you believe in the power of Shygirl, then we’re not sure what will. Kesha decided to strip back the artifice and sing from the heart. The result is “Dear Me,” a Warren-penned, Guy Roche-produced ballad where Kesha looks back on her younger self and offers some salient advice — primarily, to know that she can get through whatever pain comes her way. It’s no surprise that Kesha sounds as good as she does here; it is surprising, though, to get such a poignant song in a week when so many of us need to hear this. If there’s a rule of thumb for 2025, it’s expect the unexpected. Lord Huron, the indie-rock group slowly gaining steam over the last couple years, took that advice to heart when they teamed up with actress, queer icon and now songstress Kristen Stewart for their new single “Who Laughs Last.” Stewart may not be on the actual track, but her spoken word verses bring an air of mystique and prestige to this certified rock banger, marking one of the most gloriously left-field collaborations we’ve heard in a minute. Since alt-pop star Nessa Barrett’s stunning 2024 album of the same name, then we have some good news for you. With her new track “Does God Cry?” off the forthcoming deluxe edition of the LP, Barrett delivers a heart-rending, ambient pop single that poses bigger questions through bigger sounds. More to the point, the track takes the dark sonics of her breakout album and twists them into something new and fascinating — as winning a formula for any deluxe track as we’ve seen. Alright, we’ve all had a rough week, so let’s end this list with something unabashedly fun. Rising pop singer Sophie Powers’ latest track “Goals” immediately comes across as 2007 Avril Lavigne-meets-Charli XCX’s, as Sophie snidely declares that she is the bar her haters just can’t reach. A chant-along chorus, glitchy production and gloriously spunky attitude make Powers’ “Goals” a must-listen for anyone who needs to unplug after an otherwise hard few days
