The Lions Groove "Sunrise in Your Eyes" starts with just drums, then slowly but deliberately, layers itself into a full-blown song.

Ava Valianti's "alterations" sits in that sweet spot between dream-pop float and folk-pop.

Emily Ricks' "Can't Catch Me" perfectly mirrors what the lyrics are actually singing: paranoia, hyper-vigilance, the feeling of constantly looking over your shoulder.

FMU (F*ck Me Up) is Ohnoah's second single and it does not shy away from stepping into the actual ugliness of loving something that's destroying you.

OBLIK OBLOKI's "Forever Young" is an experimental is a synth-pop track that layers soft vocal pop track layering soft vocals with bright music. The playful indie vibes, bouncy bass, all made me sway with the music.

OpCritical's "Parachute" is a chant for people who demand freedom, justice, and joy in their lives and their nations.

I truly just went in expecting a chill acoustic tune from Kevin Honold, but instead got smacked in the face with joy. "Waterfall" is a really fun listen.

Beat The Drum's 'Try a Little Bit Harder' starts slow with a piano melody that pulls you in with some muted beats. I am not sure what the technical terms for it are, but it sounds more like someone gently tapping something with their hands instead of drums.
