DISCOVER 100: New Sounds You Should Hear This Week

This week’s Discover Weekly roundup is a sonic map of where music’s pulse is right now — diverse, daring, and deeply human. From moody reflections to dancefloor bursts, each track brings its own story and sonic fingerprint.

The Planes – “Cliff Diver”
The Planes deliver an indie-rock anthem that feels like freefall. “Cliff Diver” moves between nostalgia and release, a guitar-driven meditation on risk and renewal. It’s that perfect balance of grit and grace — an open-window song for anyone standing on the edge of change.

Uriah Gold – “No Good”
Uriah Gold’s “No Good” is a confessional pop gem wrapped in shimmering synths. It thrives on tension — between love and distance, between wanting to be better and knowing you won’t be. It’s dark, catchy, and uncomfortably honest.

Lior Izhaki Drums – “B2 Bomber”
“B2 Bomber” is all rhythm and precision — Lior Izhaki’s drumming takes centre stage in a cinematic instrumental that fuses jazz agility with rock’s velocity. It’s propulsive, polished, and impossible to ignore.

Shazam Conner – “Back It Up For Love”
An R&B veteran with unmistakable swagger, Shazam Conner turns up the heat on “Back It Up For Love.” Equal parts smooth groove and club energy, it’s a confident reminder of what charisma sounds like in motion.

F.A.V. x Tino Amor x Lorenzo Soria – “Culo”
“Culo” brings the party to life with Latin flair and global rhythm. It’s playful and unapologetic, powered by irresistible percussion and hooks built to make the body move.

YungParadise – “Room 5”
Dreamy and melancholic, “Room 5” feels like a late-night confession in neon. YungParadise threads emotional honesty through modern R&B textures — intimate yet cinematic.

Hockitay – “old dog”
Raw and reflective, “old dog” sits somewhere between folk storytelling and alternative grit. Hockitay turns simple phrases into emotional depth, proving subtlety can hit hardest.

Şener Seymenoğlu – “Another Ordinary Miracle Day”
Şener Seymenoğlu finds wonder in the everyday. His composition blends classical grace with modern melody — gentle, mindful, and deeply human.

The Lost Arts ft. Jimmy Valentime & Urban Miracle – “We Tried to Warn You!”
Urgent and defiant, this collaboration is a protest anthem dressed in hip-hop and alt-rock armour. The Lost Arts and guests channel social commentary into something anthemic and alive.

Giuseppe Cucè – “El mundo Es Verdadero”
Warm, rhythmic, and poetic — Giuseppe Cucè delivers a world-fusion track that feels both spiritual and celebratory. “El mundo Es Verdadero” translates as “The world is real,” and he makes you believe it.

REY DANTE – “El reloj en la pared”
A cinematic Latin ballad built around time, longing, and memory. REY DANTE’s vocal delivery has gravitas, pulling listeners into his world of romantic drama and timeless melodies.

Show Dem Camp x taves – “Pressure”
The Nigerian rap duo returns in sharp form. “Pressure” is slick, conscious, and effortlessly cool — a study in modern Afro-fusion with lyrical depth and rhythmic heat.

Chris James – “Long Time Coming”
Earnest and full of momentum, “Long Time Coming” is a statement of persistence. Chris James blends pop-rock and soul in a track that feels like a sunrise after a struggle.

Drew Who – “lamentable”
Minimal yet emotional, “lamentable” drifts through moody production and introspective lyricism. It’s the kind of song that lingers after silence.

Jynine James – “Pain Of Love”
A heartfelt ballad that nods to classic pop craftsmanship. Jynine James delivers emotional clarity and timeless vocal power — heartbreak as healing art.

SlimYungMan x Coberzz – “HAMMERHEAD”
A high-energy collision of trap and grit. “HAMMERHEAD” hits with underground confidence and sharp-edged production, made for those who like their sound heavy and relentless.

Naomi Jane – “I Cry”
Soft, soulful, and confessional — Naomi Jane’s “I Cry” feels like a diary turned into a melody. Vulnerability has rarely sounded this controlled and beautiful.

Verra Cruz – “Lion”
“Lion” roars with purpose. Verra Cruz merges blues-rock fire with spiritual urgency, delivering a sound that’s as raw as it is uplifting. It’s a closer that doesn’t fade — it ascends.
