Moments in Timelessness

My World Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 EST Gee The Louisville slugger kicked off 2025 with January’s  I Ain’t Feeling You , his star-studded second album with guest spots from Travis Scott, Lil Baby, and Veeze. Not six months later, Gee returns with a surprise third album,  My World , whose unfussy song titles suggest a more spontaneous approach from the gravelly-voiced hustler who’s spent the six years since his 2019 debut mixtape  El Toro  ascending from the Kentucky hip-hop underground to the mainstream. He’s still balancing stone-cold street tales with a healthy dose of soul-searching. On “Take my time Geeski SH Feb 23,” Gee reflects on his trajectory as one of few rappers to make it out of his hometown. And an appearance from Yo Gotti on “PABLO FINAL GOTTI version” as the album’s only feature should implicitly quell the recent rumors of Gee’s supposed departure from the Memphis veteran’s CMG label.

Rico o Muerto, Vol. 1 Album ∙ Música Mexicana ∙ 2025 Óscar Maydon It’s hard not to see this first installment in Óscar Maydon’s intended  Rico o Muerto  series as an existential ultimatum. Though the get-rich-or-die-trying ethos hardly originates here, already a thematic staple of rappers galore, the way the música mexicana singer unites so many of his peers for these dozen songs turns that sentiment into a collective Latin exclamation. Heavy hitters in the contemporary corridos scene, such as Junior H, Neton Vega, and Tito Double P, actively build with him here. Whether resigned to the prospect of immeasurable loss with Fuerza Regida on “Tu Boda” or playing as brash Clydes in search of baddie Bonnies with Peso Pluma on “Asquerosamente Rico,” he demonstrates an ability to both excel and lead. Elsewhere, he erodes intra-genre boundaries by hosting both Gabito Ballesteros and Luis R Conriquez for the evocative “Fina Con Los Valentinos” and reaches further than that by bringing L...

GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 - EP Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2025 ATEEZ Following the release of their 2024 EP  GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2 , ATEEZ returns with the third installment in the series. From the fresh sounds of opening number “Lemon Drop” to the distinct vocal colors from all eight members on “Masterpiece” to the comforting lyrics of “Now this house ain’t a home” and “Castle,” the album is a showcase of ATEEZ’s signature charisma, brightness, and emotional depth. To mark the release, the members share their thoughts on each track with Apple Music. “Lemon Drop” SEONGHWA: “I think it might feel like the boys who sang ‘Wave’ six years ago have all grown up and returned to that same season. It’s ATEEZ’s first summer track in a while.” MINGI: “You’ll probably notice the refreshing sweetness of a lemon drop cocktail in this track, but I think you’ll also feel a summer that’s more than just blue. It’s ATEEZ exploring R&B and hip-hop in a fresh new way, so I hope you enjoy it with a cool breeze.” “M...

Why Not More? (Extended) Album ∙ R&B/Soul ∙ 2025 Coco Jones Coco Jones’ debut album  Why Not More?  is a hard-fought culmination of years of work with her talents on full display since childhood. However, her transition from Disney teen actor to singer during the 2010s was rocky, with a robust discography of singles and EPs under her belt before she eventually parted ways with her first label. “I got signed when I was 14 and dropped when I was 16, and it was disappointing because I had this feeling that as soon as I get that one opportunity, it’ll all grow like rapid fire,” Jones tells Apple Music’s Nadeska Alexis. “It did not go that way. I think that was when, inwardly, there was a shift in me, and it went from certain to foggy and unsure what I was going to get in return for all of this effort.” Despite navigating an often turbulent industry, Jones has laid the groundwork over the last couple of years, starting with the success of her 2023 breakout EP  What I Didn’...

224 Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2025 KISS OF LIFE Across its seven tracks,  224  leans into moments of disco (“Tell Me”), upbeat pop (“Slide”), and acoustic balladry (“Think Twice”), but never strays far from the sensual turn-of-the-millennium R&B that has defined the quartet’s sound since their 2023 debut. The first of KISS OF LIFE’s collections to be released without creative director Lee Hae-in, the group’s fourth EP builds on the combination of smooth production and lush, low-key vocals that worked so well on 2024 hits “Sticky” and “Igloo.”  224  opens with “Lips Hips Kiss,” a midtempo track with a sultry hook (“You can touch my lips-hips-hips-hips-hips/I’m free at six-six-six-six-six, oh”), before asking for more honesty in “Tell Me.” Thai member NATTY contributed lyrics to “Tell Me” and “Painting,” while American member Julie participated in the songwriting for “Heart of Gold.” American singer-songwriter UPSAHL composed bass-driven, viral-ready “k bye.” ...

Girls Will Be Girls - EP Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2025 ITZY The K-pop industry is intentionally teeming with “main-character energy,” internet slang describing a self-assured person who embraces a sense of agency in their own life story, but fourth-generation girl group ITZY makes it explicit in their 2025 EP  Girls Will Be Girls . “It makes you feel like the main character,” member RYUJIN tells Apple Music of “Walk,” one of five powerful tracks on the dance-pop mini album. A performance-oriented group, ITZY both reinforces and subverts the expectation of what that main-character energy might sound like on  Girls Will Be Girls , balancing the boldness of lead single “Girls Will Be Girls” and confident club banger “Kiss & Tell” with the soft sincerity of fan ballad “Promise.” As ITZY tells Apple Music in their exclusive track-by-track below, it’s all in the pursuit of expressing their unbreakable bond with one another, and their love for their fans, known as MIDZY. “Girls Will Be Gi...
