Leon Gets His Groove On
Leon Thomas turned NPR’s Tiny Desk into the liveliest office party of all time—his words, not ours. The R&B artist and Grammy-winning producer brought funk, rock, and soul to the famously cozy stage, grooving through tracks from Muttand Electric Dusk. From the electrifying “Vibes Don’t Lie” to the heartfelt “Breaking Point,” Thomas showcased his silky vocals, sharp guitar skills, and undeniable stage presence. Once known as Andre Harris on Victorious, he’s now a powerhouse producer with credits on Ariana Grande, Drake, and SZA’s “Snooze”.

The Trio We Didn’t Expect
Selena Gomez and Gracie Abrams are down bad—and dialing up disaster—on their new single “Call Me When You Break Up”. The track, a love letter to hopeless situationships, features the duo leaving very unhinged voicemails, just in case their not-quite-ex is ready to circle back. Set to appear on Gomez’s upcoming collab album with Benny Blanco, I Said I Love You First (out March 21), the song is both a cautionary tale and a guilty pleasure anthem. Let’s just say, if you’ve ever waited for that text, this one might hit too close to home.

Debut EP from Sienna Spiro
Sienna Spiro might be just 19, but her music carries the weight of a soul twice her age. With her debut EP, SINK NOW, SWIM LATER, the rising singer-songwriter delivers a whirlwind of raw emotion, from heartache to self-discovery—all with a voice that feels both classic and fresh. Inspired by jazz, Motown, and the chaos of growing up, Spiro splits her project into ‘SINK’ and ‘SWIM’ tracks, capturing the highs and lows of late-teen turmoil. Even SZA took notice, co-signing the young artist on social media.

LISA: The Pentathreat
Lisa isn’t just dropping an album—she’s building a whole universe.

With Lisa herself penning the plot, this isn’t just music—it’s a full-blown multiverse. Pre-order now if you’re ready to meet every side of Lisa, from sweet to savage.
