We are back again with some incredible new music and reviews for New Music Friday. Check out the full tracks and reviews below!
The Midnight | “Runaways” (feat. Bonnie McKee)
This track captures the nostalgic rush The Midnight is known for, but Bonnie McKee’s vocals elevate it with a fiery edge. The synths shimmer with 80s-inspired glow while the lyrics tap into themes of escape and freedom. It feels cinematic, like the soundtrack to driving away from your past with the windows down and neon lights in the rearview.
MANSA | “Paralyzed”
“Paralyzed” is a vulnerable yet powerful offering from MANSA. The production is sleek, built around pulsing beats and atmospheric touches that mirror the emotional weight of feeling stuck in a moment. The vocal delivery carries raw intensity, giving the song both heartbreak and strength. It’s the kind of track that resonates long after it ends.
Mark Weatherley | “Skeleton”
“Skeleton” blends haunting imagery with sharp songwriting, creating a track that feels both brooding and magnetic. The arrangement balances energetic instrumentation with a driving rhythm that keeps it moving forward. The vocals bring grit and emotion, turning the metaphor of a skeleton into something that feels alive with tension, energy and honesty. Make sure to add all of these tracks to your playlists.
