We may have said goodbye to 2025, but we’re still vibing to the songs that dropped in December of that year. While we wait for new music to drop this year, it’s easy to stay patient with these repeat-worthy tracks featuring Peaches, Blood Cultures, Adi Oasis, Alexa Cirri, Judeline, Kelly Abarca, illuminati hotties, Sofia Isella, Jahson Paynter, and more. A majority of these hand-curated selections came from our new music submission playlist. Many of these songs have also earned their place in recent full-page editorials and/or social media videos.
