From Lauren Spencer Smith to Kesha, this week’s new music lineup is stacked!
Sydney Quiseng – ‘That’s My Baby! (On Main Street)’
If you’re like us, you had ‘Cool Kids’ on repeat as a teenager, so you have to dive into Sydney Quiseng’s solo catalog! While indie-pop is the sound we all know Sydney for, she is quickly finding her footing and coming into her own artistically within the Country/Americana realm. ‘That’s My Baby! (On Main Street)’ feels celebratory, like a proclamation of finding yourself and falling in love with your life.

Cailin Russo – ‘Bad Things’
Like the rest of the world, we have been obsessed with Heated Rivalry, so it’s only natural that we would want to gush about one of our favorite songs from the show! ‘Bad Things’ by Cailin Russo has become a permanent part of our everyday soundtrack. This track builds in the best way and highlights perfectly what a one-of-a-kind artist Cailin is.

Lauren Spencer Smith – ‘Natural Disaster’
We will forever praise Lauren Spencer Smith’s songwriting, which may just be at its best here on ‘Natural Disaster.’ ‘Natural Disaster’ acts as the first peek into Lauren’s deluxe version of THE ART OF BEING A MESS, and to us, it feels like the only possible way this record could have been done justice in a continuation. Lauren’s vocals and ability to emote are shining as bright as ever.

Kesha – ‘DELUSIONAL. (Armin van Buuren Remix)’
One thing about Kesha is that she is always going to release THE songs you will be hearing in any club you enter for the next year, and this remix of ‘DELUSIONAL’ is no different. We may have found a song of the summer in February.

Freya Skye – stardust
If Freya Skye isn’t already a current musical obsession of yours, stardust is sure to change that. From ‘golden boy,’ to ‘why’d you have to call,’ Freya demonstrates a clear understanding of how to stay true to herself while being able to make the listener feel like she has somehow understood their every thought.

ZAYN – ‘Die For Me’
2026 is already turning out to be the year of career-best music from some of our favorite artists! ‘Die For Me,’ for us, feels like a return to form for Zayn. We felt the same way on our first listen through of this track that we did upon hearing ‘PILLOWTALK.’ Musically, it’s clear this is where Zayn feels the most comfortable and is able to create at his most honest. It’s abundantly clear to us that KONNAKOL is going to go platinum here at THP!

Carter Faith – ‘Fame Is A Gun’ (Cover)
If you had asked us what one song we would love to see one of our favorite artists at the moment cover, ‘Fame Is a Gun’ would definitely be on the table. This song, in its original form by pop princess Addison Rae, showcases a path we’ve hoped a current pop star would take, which is reminiscent of the early 2000s, and Carter Faith is a perfect artist to encapsulate that.

Charlieonnafriday – ‘Never Do’
Charlieonnafriday is an artist that everyone needs on their playlists asap! Ever since we first heard ‘After Hours,’ we have been tuned in, so we can confidently say ‘Never Do’ is a career high. This track marks Charlie’s first release since 2024 and shows a clear area of artistic growth.

Megan Moroney – ‘Cloud 9’
Megan Moroney has taken both the country music world and our playlists by storm over the last several years, and ‘Cloud 9’ is a picture-perfect culmination of exactly why. There’s a relatability to every word Megan sings, and a quality that we remember distinctly from RED and Fearless by Taylor Swift that is sprinkled throughout Megan’s music. We can’t wait to see how Megan’s upcoming album, also titled Cloud 9, soundtracks the rest of our year.

Elizabeth Nichols – ‘Sweet Cigarette’
There truly is no better way to end a new music round-up than with Elizabeth Nichols! We have been fans of every track Elizabeth has put out, but ‘Sweet Cigarette’ was an instant hit for us. This track weighs the choice of what’s right, and what you know is wrong but you’re led to do anyway; it’s an age-old situation so many of us find ourselves in.
