Full Time Job

Full Time Job Album ∙ Worldwide ∙ 2024 Phyno With   Full Time Job , seasoned Nigerian MC Phyno resumes his role as cultural flag-bearer and dons the air of elder statesman. Wielding intergenerational and cross-cultural collaborations, Phyno tasks himself with the mission of a global ambassador. At the heart of this fifth studio album is both an unyielding dedication to the craft and a desire to punctuate moments of gratitude, joy, love, and accomplishment with authentic cultural expression. As the project traverses these and other emotions, the artist christened Chibuzo Nelson Azubuike highlights his sonic inventiveness through the album’s invitees. Building on the Afroswing explorations of yesteryear, Phyno reaches across the pond for an array of styles served up by Chip, ArrDee, and the collective NSG. Closer to home, frequent collaborator Flavour joins the homegrown contingent of Cheque, FAVE, Burna Boy, and Johnny Drille in crafting sounds drawn from across the Afrobeats songbo...

Lovin’ You

Lovin’ You Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Richard Ashcroft For an artist who hadn’t released a new album of original material in seven years, Richard Ashcroft couldn’t have asked for a better reintroduction to the masses than opening for his old mates Oasis on their 2025 reunion-tour stadium takeover. But the former Verve singer didn’t just turn up to peddle ’90s nostalgia. He opened his sets with “ Lover ,” a joyous, R&B-inspired bop that sets the uplifting, genre-bending tone for  Lovin’ You , a collection of life-affirming anthems, unabashedly romantic serenades, and playful dance detours that showcase Britpop ’s most soulful voice in all its ageless wonder. It’s the work of a rock veteran who’s got an ear tuned in to the contemporary pop conversation: “ I’m a Rebel ” is a slinky, French touched workout (courtesy of guest collaborator Mirwais ) that sees the singer push his falsetto to ecstatic new heights, while the title track suggests his stormy solo signature “ A Song for...

Infinite

  Infinite Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Mobb Deep In hip-hop’s more than five-decade history, Queensbridge stands firmly as one of the genre’s foundational, load-bearing pillars. The same outer-borough NYC locale where MC Shan laid down the rap gauntlet with his seminal single “ The Bridge ” got reinforced further in the 1990s and 2000s by two more sons of the namesake housing development, Havoc and Prodigy . Their run as Mobb Deep hit its stride with 1995’s  The Infamous , with the pair remaining a force to be reckoned with both lyrically and musically for another two decades. Were it not for Prodigy’s untimely and tragic passing in 2017, it stands to reason that they’d still be repping QB as a unit today, something the release of  Infinite  demonstrates. More than a decade after their presumed swan song, the double-disc  The Infamous Mobb Deep , this posthumous collaboration not only honors the duo’s legacy but aims to advance what they cultivated as an enduri...

after the sun goes down

after the sun goes down Album ∙ Pop ∙ 2025 Khalid Beginning to conceptualize his fourth album last year, Khalid thought deeply about what exactly it was that he wanted to say. But when a dramatic incident became a blessing in disguise, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter instantly knew his direction. “In the process of creating the album, I got outed and then immediately knew everything that I needed to say,” he told Hattie Collins , host of Apple Music’s Proud Radio . “It’s time to make that album for myself. It’s time to make the album that solidifies who I am—not only as an artist, but just as a person in this world.” On the resulting record,  after the sun goes down , the singer who’s been famous since blowing up as a teenager with his debut single, “ Location ,” and its follow-up, “Young Dumb & Broke,” finds himself fully in his element—passionate, unapologetic, and more confident than ever. Across 16 tracks, Khalid grapples candidly with lust and loss, yearning over hyperpo...

Wishbone

Wishbone Album ∙ Pop ∙ 2025 Conan Gray When Conan Gray announced the arrival of his fourth studio album  Wishbone , he shared in a statement that he wrote the album in secret. While touring his 2024 album  Found Heaven , he would finish shows and sketch demos with zero stakes attached. He showed the songs to Dan Nigro, who helped Gray record his first album,  Kid Krow , way back in 2020. The tracks, created with the sort of vulnerability only achievable when writing without an audience in mind, ended up becoming the bones of  Wishbone , Gray’s cathartic exploration of his foray into adulthood. With his signature blend of beautiful vocals and earworm melodies, Gray opens up his diary to sing about the way romance has changed his life—for better and for worse. The powerful “This Song” finds Gray admitting that it’s easier for him to sing about love for his unspecified partner than it is to utter the words face to face. “Romeo,” on the other hand, begins with a playful ...

Ushuaïa Ibiza: Sept 12, 2025 (DJ Mix) Album ∙ Dance ∙ 2025 Calvin Harris An exhilarating set of hands-in-the-air hits from Scotland’s superstar DJ. The Art of the Open-Air Anthem : Analyzing Calvin Harris’s Ushuaïa Ibiza : Sept 12, 2025 (DJ Mix) Calvin Harris’s residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza is not merely a series of performances; it is an annual institution that defines the soundscape of the Balearic summer . The Ushuaïa Ibiza: Sept 12, 2025 (DJ Mix), capturing the climactic closing date of an unprecedented double-residency season, stands as a crystallized document of a master DJ operating at the zenith of his power. This mix is a sonic tapestry woven from his own stadium-sized anthems, sophisticated club edits, and a deep appreciation for house and techno classics, all curated for the high-octane energy of the open-air day-to-night spectacle. It is a lesson in the art of the mainstream mega-mix: a celebration of commercial success that never sacrifices a true DJ's technical prow...

Underwater

Underwater Album ∙ Urbano latino ∙ 2025 Dei V After whetting fans’ appetites earlier in the year with the EP-length  LOS FLAVORZ , Dei V returns with his second project of 2025,  Underwater . A full-length follow-up to the still-ascending Puerto Rican star’s breakthrough  Quién Es Dei V , this 16-track effort goes deeper into his bag as a melodic rap phenomenon, beginning with the come-up narrative of the title track and continuing through the closing flex fest “ Pretty Boy .” He’s very much at ease in a softer mode, too, persuasively making his case on the smooth “ TUMBAO ” and calling back to an R&B classic on the sexually charged “Te Capie.” Confident and direct, he makes his desires known to prospective lovers on “El Del Flavor” and the Afrobeats inflection “Queen.” That thematic approach seeps into some of his collaborations here, too, alongside fellow boudoir provocateur Arcángel on “QNP” and opposite Blessd on the like-minded “BB.” That said, he still mak...
