Caamp – Ohio-based alt-folk band Caamp announces Copper Changes Color, their highly anticipated fifth studio album, arriving June 6th via Mom+Pop Music. Written, performed, and produced by the band (wow!), the 11-track project was co-produced and recorded with GRAMMY-winning collaborators Beatriz Artola (Fleet Foxes, Adele) and Tucker Martine (R.E.M., My Morning Jacket). Spanning sessions across iconic U.S. studios, the album reflects on personal transformation, with frontman Taylor Meier using the patina of copper as a metaphor for life. Alongside the announcement, Caamp drops the sweeping new single “Drive,” a spirit-lifting entry into their most refined and expansive chapter yet.

Leon Thomas – GRAMMY winner Leon Thomas is back with “RATHER BE ALONE,” a stunning new single featuring R&B siren Halle Bailey. Hot off the heels of his viral smash “MUTT,” which has dominated airwaves and hit #45 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and the track’s remix featuring Chris Brown, Leon shows no signs of slowing down. Fans have been asking for more, and this soulful, sultry collab with Bailey delivers.

Jazzy – Dublin-born dance sensation Jazzy returns with her hypnotic new single “Closer To The Floor,” teaming up with French DJ/producer Ankhoï. This sultry club cut reimagines DSK’s 1991 house classic “What Would We Do,” which was also used in Wiley’s “Wearing My Rolex,” layering nostalgic flair with a sleek, modern pulse. Jazzy reflects on music’s power to move body and mind, delivering a heady dose of groove-heavy magic. It’s sexy, slick, and dance floor-ready. Get it on your playlists, ASAP.

Windser – Windser (Jordan Topf) returns today with “These Days,” a raw and infectious anthem capturing the melancholy of modern life. With lyrics like “I’m so bored / I’m depressed / I’m a mess / These days,” Topf delivers an emotional gut-punch wrapped in a sticky, unforgettable chorus. The new track is the third single from his self-titled debut album, due May 16 via Bright Antenna Records. “These Days” features Topf on vocals and guitar, with Jerry Borgé (Lucinda Williams) on keys, Daniel Rhine (Phoebe Bridgers) on bass, and Dan Bailey (Father John Misty) on drums. Co-produced by Topf and Jon Gilbert (flipturn, Mt. Joy), with additional production from Matias Tellez (Girl in Red, Sondre Lerche), the track blends vulnerability and melodic grit into something unmistakably Windser.

Yeat – After debuting it during Weekend 1 of Coachella, enigmatic rap star Yeat has released his new single “The Bell.” Fresh off his genre-blurring feature on Anyma’s “Work” which was previewed at Vegas’ iconic Sphere, Yeat became the first rapper to perform live at the buzzworthy venue. With a cult following and a sound that keeps evolving, “The Bell” is your perfect entry point into the Yeat universe. Get on board before you get left behind.
