Halloween is over and Mariah Carey is already defrosting for the holiday season, but before we go full tinsel and sleigh bells, What’s Going On has got more of the hottest tunes to get you through the week. From the long-awaited return of Irish rockers Inhaler to a fresh batch of buzzy new releases lighting up playlists everywhere, here’s what’s been soundtracking the moment. As always, if you dig what you hear, be sure to stream and follow these artists.
Inhaler – Irish quartet Inhaler are back with their sweeping new single “Hole In The Ground,” recorded with producer Kid Harpoon at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. Their first release since Open Wide, the track channels emotional intensity through melancholic hooks, layered guitars, and hypnotic grooves. Frontman Eli Hewson (yes, Bono’s son) describes the track as “something fragile growing among wreckage.” With a massive global tour behind them, Inhaler continues to prove themselves as modern rock’s most magnetic force.

Fresh off the viral success of “Main Character,” Chxrry is setting herself up for a stellar 2026!

Skrilla – If your kid is running around streaming ‘6 7’ and you have no idea why, thank Philly rapper Skrilla. Best known for his viral hit “Doot Doot (6 7),” he returns with “Rich Sinners,” featuring Lil Yachty, the first taste of his upcoming album Z. Produced by yababykid, the track pairs moody keys with sharp bars and a 2007-era Lil Wayne/Cash Money-esque swagger. With his gritty delivery and Yachty’s melodic flair, Skrilla proves why 2025 is his year. Skrilla is only getting bigger.

No spoilers here, you’ll have to watch and find out for yourself.
