Can you believe that January is almost coming to a close? Several of our faves, soon to become your new faves, truly fed us on the last New Music Friday of the month. Over here at The Honey Pop, we can’t take these fresh tracks off repeat. Trust us, your playlists need these songs too!
‘Annabel’s House’ – Lola Young
In this hauntingly vivid track, the alt-pop rising star takes us from a house party to a complex, emotionally taxing relationship. This is the lead single of Lola’s next album, My Mind Wanders And Sometimes Leaves Completely, projected for May of this year. Fueled by a steady buildup and burning passion, the sultry yet vulnerable ballad pulled at our heartstrings.

‘Gimme’ – Sam Smith, Jessie Reyez & Koffee
‘Gimme’ features Sam Smith’s signature soulful vocals throughout, Jessie Reyez’s smooth delivery on the hook, and Koffee’s Latin influences on the second verse. We live for the well-executed harmonies and call-and-response sections, elements that can only happen in collaborations like this. We’re obsessed with this steady, easygoing masterpiece. It’s probably our favorite from Sam’s brand-new album, Gloria. Throughout the record, they’re showing new sides of themself as they take risks artistically.

‘Magic Potion’ – Toosii
If you love Stormzy, Juice WRLD, or 24kGoldn, definitely check out this rising sensation! We’re in love with Toosii’s energetic, gritty delivery of these sensual lyrics. We’d also recommend checking out the edgy, exciting music video. We don’t want to spoil it for you but think Queen & Slim with a twist. This track perfectly melds synth, R&B, and hip-hop influences, allowing for a bold and one-of-a-kind project.
maybe i should just never drop this… https://t.co/jGN3N2jSIe

‘Rumblah’ – Gorgon City
Certain to become a staple at clubs in the coming months, the London-based EDM duo have outdone themselves with this one. Gorgon City has masterfully incorporated forthcoming vocals into this pulsating track, making the beat drops hit even harder. We sense a Tomorrowland or EDC headlining set in the near future! Listen to “Rumblah” if you need a pick-me-up or energy boost – you won’t regret it.
Are you ready for Rumblah? 🔥

‘Infatuation’ – SG Lewis
SG Lewis and his fresh approach to house music should surely be on your radar. The English artist has somehow found the perfect way to blend singer/songwriter-style lyrics and catchy pop melodies with EDM. In “Infatuation,” lyrics about lust for one’s crush complement the smooth and dreamy production. While you’re at it, you don’t want to miss the rest of SG Lewis’s career-defining new album, AudioLust & Higher Love.
