As we venture into 2025, embracing the unexpected becomes essential. Indie-rock band Lord Huron exemplifies this spirit with their innovative collaboration alongside actress and queer icon Kristen Stewart for their latest single, ?Who Laughs Last.? While Stewart does not lend her voice to the track in a traditional sense, her spoken word segments add an intriguing layer of mystique and sophistication to this energetic rock anthem. This unexpected pairing not only showcases the versatility of both the band and Stewart but also offers one of the most delightfully surprising collaborations we’ve encountered recently.
Nessa Barrett’s Emotional Journey: ?Does God Cry??
If you’re yearning for some Aftercare following alt-pop sensation Nessa Barrett’s stunning 2024 album, look no further. With her new track ?Does God Cry?? featured on the highly anticipated deluxe edition of the album, Barrett presents a mesmerizing, ambient pop single that explores profound questions through dynamic soundscapes. This track takes the darker elements from her breakout album and transforms them into something fresh and captivating, demonstrating once again her ability to evolve as an artist. It’s a winning formula that elevates the deluxe edition and keeps listeners engaged with her artistic journey.
Sophie Powers’ Energizing Anthem: ?Goals?
After a challenging week, let’s wrap up our list with a track that radiates pure joy. Rising pop sensation Sophie Powers delivers her latest single ?Goals,? which feels like a delightful mix of 2007 Avril Lavigne and Charli XCX?s Brat. In this empowering anthem, Sophie confidently asserts that she sets the standard all her detractors can’t match. With a catchy, chant-along chorus, glitchy production, and an undeniably spunky attitude, ?Goals? is an essential listen for anyone looking to unwind and celebrate their own victories after a tough few days.
