This week, Brandito, Incredibob, and Mel dive headfirst into the glorious mess that is the latest batch of new music releases—and nothing is safe.

We’re unpacking the emotional voicemails of Ed Sheeran’s “Old Phone,” getting blissfully weird with “Ain’t It Kinda Funny” from Tash Sultana & City and Colour, and floating into a dream-pop haze with “I Like It I Like It” by Moses Sumney & Hayley Williams.

Also on deck: “Priceless” from Maroon 5 and LISA (is it actually priceless or just streaming bait?), “Men2Be” by Lavender Bride (wedding vibes with a twist), and the return of teen angst via “Young & Dumb” from Avril Lavigne & Simple Plan.

It’s a mix of tears, riffs, and musical confusion—and we’re here for all of it. Hit play for spicy takes, unexpected favorites, and at least one existential crisis.

This week, Brandito, Mel, and Incredibob are flipping through the sonic scrapbook: Blondshell hands us a brutally honest selfie with If You Asked For A Picture, billy woods drops GOLLIWOG—a dense, poetic mind maze that might require a literary degree (or at least a quiet room), and Kali Uchis serenades us with Sincerely, a lush, romantic journey that’s basically a musical bubble bath. Expect bold opinions, questionable metaphors, and at least one passionate debate about vocal layering. Tune in, because feelings were felt.

This week, we’re joined by the full dream team—Incredibob, Brandito, and Mel—to dig into a wild mix of new music drops. We’re talking JID going full beast mode on “WRK,” Quadeca getting deep and mysterious with “MONDAY,” and Addison Rae putting us in a trance with “Headphones On.” Lorde came out of nowhere with “What Was That” (seriously...what was that?), Aly & AJ are back to soundtrack your soft summer sadness with “Dandelions,” and James Bay & Sheryl Crow want you to call your mom with “You and Me Time.”

It’s chaos. It’s vibes. It’s opinions you didn’t ask for—but you’ll want to hear. Hit play.
