First up is Arden Jones with his new single “high like you” off age tape 15. Built around a mix of airy hooks and candid confessions, the track dives into love as an addiction: chasing a high that outlasts every other vice. With lines like “After all of the drugs I use, nothing else gets me high like you,” Jones balances vulnerability with sharp pop instincts. It’s another reminder of why his age tape series has become a cornerstone of his rising catalog, each release layering honest emotion over sleek, infectious production.
Our second mention is for Evan Honer and his standout track “Lose A Friend” off his new project Everything I Wanted. Honer leans into bittersweet honesty, capturing the quiet tension between friendship and something deeper. With vivid images like “How you put your head on my lap while I’m driving / And the sound of your laughing between crying,” the song balances tender detail with the ache of what goes unsaid. Built around acoustic warmth and his trademark confessional delivery, “Lose A Friend” cements Honer’s place as one of the most affecting young voices in the Americana–folk space.
Finally, we turn to The kidszn with his breakout viral single “ENDZONE.” Built around the angelic sample that’s been dominating TikTok, the track takes a sound already etched into the social media ether and flips it into a full-fledged anthem. Driving production and clever wordplay keep the energy high, while its familiarity gives it instant replay value. It’s a striking example of how the next generation of artists are harnessing viral culture, turning fleeting moments into lasting songs.
