Candy – Claudia Valentina

Claudia Valentina unleashes her new single “Candy,” which reinterprets the iconic hook from Kelis’ “Milkshake,” transforming the playful classic into a sultry anthem that embodies power, confidence, and control. Claudia Valentina declares, “I create and release music that reflects my true feelings in the moment because a fierce woman can embody many facets in a single day. ‘Candy’ showcases that other side. It’s ear candy—because dull pop simply doesn’t cut it for me.”

As Alive as You Need Me to Be – Nine Inch Nails

Trent Reznor and his team are making a powerful return as Nine Inch Nails with the release of their first single, “As Alive as You Need Me to Be,” from the highly anticipated “TRON: Ares” movie soundtrack. This is a notable milestone, as it marks the band’s official foray into scoring a film, despite Reznor and Atticus Ross already having an impressive track record as composers. The track delivers a strong dose of nostalgia for long-time Nine Inch Nails fans while simultaneously captivating new listeners. The complete soundtrack album for “Tron: Ares,” featuring 24 crafted tracks by Nine Inch Nails, is set to drop on September 19, 2025.

Let’s Dance – Queen Anne

Queen Anne, comprised of singer-songwriter Katie Silverman and writer/producer Sandy Chila, has released their second single, a cover of David Bowie’s iconic 1980s hit “Let’s Dance.” Katie Silverman, one half of the dynamic indie-pop duo, made it clear how significant Bowie’s influence has been on her artistry: “Bowie was a massive inspiration for me. I wanted to honor his legacy and immerse myself in his music. I chose ‘Let’s Dance’ because it embodies a compelling urgency, and I made sure to wear my red shoes while recording it.”

Specter – Bad Omens

Bad Omens makes a powerful return with their new single, “Specter,” released through Sumerian Records. The track kicks off with delicate, atmospheric production that quickly escalates into a passionate, hard-hitting chorus. Enhanced by ominous, otherworldly electronic elements, “Specter” delivers dynamic layers that truly make the song stand out.

Can We Pretend We Just Met at a Bar? – Ana Luna

Building on the momentum of her previous hits “Daddy’s Empire” and “Dance in a Trance,” Ana Luna releases her new track, “Can We Pretend We Just Met at a Bar?” With its rich production, the song showcases Ana’s striking vocals as it delves into the complex themes of denial and the process of letting go. Ana describes the track as a candid conversation with herself, confronting the often blurred lines between past and present while facing the harsh realities of a troubled relationship. She boldly examines the gap between the illusion of love and the inner turmoil that comes with it.
