The Singles Bar: Daniel Arison – Sad
Feeling sad? In total despair? Or maybe you’re numb? Well, Daniel Arison has the syrupy elixir for you. “I lost someone I never had,” he sings in his effervescent new banger, “Sad.” Like all deceptively chipper pop tracks, overwhelming sadness is masked beneath waves of juicy production. Just how I like it. When summer hits,…

The Singles Bar: Moncrieff – Point Me to the Sky
Moncrieff is committed to making me cry no matter what. His new, deceptively anthemic “Point Me to the Sky,” explodes with some of his most earnest and vulnerable lyrics to date. “I burned all of my sage, but I’m still haunting my bedroom,” he sings. That emotional tug-of-war forms the bedrock of the song, moments…

The Singles Bar: Adeem the Artist – Jason Isbell B-Side
To be a queer artist is to be in a constant state of untethering. Just take a listen to Adeem the Artist‘s “Jason Isbell B-Side.” The acoustic number sees Adeem in their rawest, most honest, and most vulnerable place of being. The pulverizing stunner, written “while I was beginning to spiral out of control,” Adeem…

The Singles Bar: Cinder Well – While the Womb Screams Silently
Dark, somber twigs scratch in the midnight hour. That’s the sensation of listening to Cinder Well‘s new song, “While the Womb Screams Silently.” Within the witchy fabric she’s created, her voice punctures like a spell cast for enchanting things. “Watching bristles crunch across the canvas,” she sings. “Little splotches, patches form her silhouette.” It’s the…

The Singles Bar: Rod Gator – Highway 29
“The road was filled with broken glass and gasoline,” sings Rod Gator in his emotional, raw cover. Bruce Springsteen’s “Highway 29” finds new life in Gator’s hands, calloused and dirty. His rasp brings out a visceral response to the lyrics. They become more biting, more intense, and more razor-sharp. Acoustic guitar cries out behind him,…

The Singles Bar: Myylo – Dick Pics
We all could use a little sexy time. Well, through our phones, at least. With his new song, Myylo gets a little “intimate” with a close-up of a certain appendage. “Dick Pics” is about what you might expect, and we are so here for it. Drums throb, synths echo, and Myylo sounds as good as…

The Singles Bar: Kassi Ashton – Bitches
Kassi Ashton has always been fearless. So, it’s not too surprising that her new song is called “Bitches.” It’s as if Loretta Lynn made “Coal Miner’s Daughter” for a modern generation. “I come from a long line of bitches / Thick-skinned, tough-as-nails misses,” Ashton bites down on the melody. She’s not only reclaiming the word…

The Singles Bar: Earth to Eve – Growing Up & You Don’t Belong Here
I can’t be the only one who became obsessed with Earth to Eve from her song “Threat Level Orange,” right? We love a good Orange Cheeto takedown. Now, she continues a stretch of 2026 singles with a double-dose of goodness, “Growing Up” and “You Don’t Belong Here.” She roots both tracks in a blindingly acoustic…

The Singles Bar: ill peach – SMALL TALK
There are times when small talk just doesn’t do the trick. You yearn for conversation that actually matters. With their new song, ill peach discards silly and mundane chatter for a far deeper exchange. “I don’t wanna talk,” sings Jess Corazza, whose acidic tongue stings the neck. “SMALL TALK” bounces along a pop-rock highway, shredding…
-
The Singles Bar: Emily Vaughn – Blame
Emily Vaughn shifts all the blame upon herself for a relationship that died and shriveled in the sun. “I won’t lie / I lost my mind for a minute,” she sings over fractured synths and a beat that just won’t stop. “Blame” arrives perfectly glossy, readying the listener for the sweltering heat and that ache…

The Singles Bar: Mya Byrne – Almost Gone
In today’s tarot reading, one of the cards promised new beginnings. I suppose it makes sense then that I’m listening to Mya Byrne‘s new song, “Almost Gone.” Byrne scorches the earth beneath her boots, leaving nothing but a throbbing sensation that it all comes down sooner or later. “Feeling like you might fade out and…
-
The Singles Bar: Neon Sines – ‘Adeline’
There are just some songs that give you a jolt! Neon Sines‘ brand new song, “Adeline,” feels like touching an electric fence or sticking a fork into a light socket. It’s an intense slice of synth-pop that’ll give you the charge you need on those slow-going afternoons. It might even inspire you to take a…

The Singles Bar: ‘Life is Glamorous’ with Spencer Sutherland
There isn’t a song Spencer Sutherland can’t sing. If you follow him on TikTok, you’re well aware of his powerhouse covers of pop songs. Stunning work. Maybe the most underrated voice today? Well, he certainly demonstrates as much with his new song, “Life is Glamorous.” Big and flashy synths collide with heart-thumping drums that play…

The Singles Bar: JORDY exposes raunchy new single, ‘Dumb’
JORDY never misses. With his body-grinding new song, “Dumb,” he takes to the dance floor and (metaphorically) strips off all his clothes. “Are you into it?” he asks through the hypnotic glow of the laser show. Synths side-wind through sweat and too many cosmos, with JORDY slickly sliding over the melody with the seduction of…

The Singles Bar: Willow Avalon commits a ‘Cardinal Sin’ (with Jason Isbell)
Willow Avalon‘s voice is not unlike a lark. She sculpts her images with a raspy smoothness that torments the senses. Add the one and only Jason Isbell into the mix, and you have a recipe for one of the year’s best collaborations. With “Cardinal Sin,” Avalon confesses that she’s fallen in love “with him while…
