It’s a snowed-in kind of day, but these fresh tracks are keeping me warm. One artist bringing the heat is viral sensation Tommy Richman, who’s gearing up for his COYOTE tour. Ahead of his upcoming shows, we’ve got his fiery new single to share. Plus, more of the hottest music releases of the week. 2025 is already shaping up to be an unforgettable year in music! As always, if you dig what you hear, be sure to stream and follow the artists.
Tommy Richman – The Million Dollar Baby himself, Tommy Richman, is back with his first new single of the year, “ACTIN UP,” out now via ISO Supremacy/Pulse Records. The high-energy track comes with a vibrant music video, where Richman gets the party going at a warehouse and a gas station. Despite the song’s upbeat feel, it’s actually an anthem born from the frustration and feeling of being underestimated, with Richman urging listeners to give underdogs a chance. “ACTIN UP” follows Richman’s debut album COYOTE, which included several of his viral hits. You can catch Richman on his COYOTE Tour, which kicks off February 19 in Seattle. The tour touches down in Toronto on March 27th at The Opera House. Get tickets here.

Arya Starr – GRAMMY-nominated Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr is out now with “All The Love.” Her first release of 2025 is a hot track that blends Afrobeats, pop, and R&B with sultry soul. The song’s anthemic chorus gives it endless replay value. “All The Love” sets the stage for more music to come. Recently, Ayra made history as the first Nigerian female artist to earn a RIAA Latin Diamond certification for her hit “Santa” with Rvssian and Rauw Alejandro. With over 3 billion global streams, the Beninese-Nigerian artist is kind of a big deal.

Windser – Rising indie artist Windser (Jordan Topf) announced his highly anticipated self-titled debut album, set to drop on May 16th via Bright Antenna Records. Co-produced by Topf along with Matias Tellez and Jon Gilbert, the album features top-tier musicians such as Dan Bailey, Adam Christgau, and Daniel Rhine. The lead single, “Abandon,” explores a deeply personal traumatic childhood moment when Topf was left alone in a hotel room by his father in Costa Rica. The song reflects his emotional journey toward healing and self-discovery. With real, raw, and inspiring storytelling set against immersive indie rock soundscapes, Windser is definitely one to watch for 2025.

Bon Iver – Let’s go! There’s a new Bon Iver album on the way. SABLE, fABLE, the first album in six years, is due on April 11th via Jagjaguwar. The ethereal lead single “Everything Is Peaceful Love” is accompanied by a music video directed by John Wilson of HBO’s How To with John Wilson. Justin Vernon explains that the song embodies the album’s core feeling: joy and uncontainable happiness. SABLE, fABLE shifts from the solitary pain of 2024’s EP SABLE to a vibrant, hopeful future, blending lush pop with themes of love, growth, and new beginnings.

Toosii – Multi-platinum hitmaker Toosii makes his 2025 return with his highly anticipated single “168 Hours,” out now via South Coast Music Group/Capitol Records. The hip-hop megastar regales listeners with his fierce hunger and relentless drive on this powerful track, urging listeners to push beyond the 168 hours given each week. With motivational lyrics like “What’s a fish to a piranha / What’s a pup to a dog,” Toosii delivers an empowering and hard-hitting anthem. After releasing his debut album, JADED, last year and a buzzworthy run on Rod Wave’s Last Lap Tour, Toosii is poised for an even bigger 2025.
