Blending twinkling keys and catching guitar lines, “Hollow Body” is a memorable new single from SAADI. The project of Boshra AlSaadi, a Syrian-American New Yorker living in Los Angeles, SAADI compels with a sound that bridges serene atmospherics and hooky immediacy. “Hollow Body describes the seductive pursuit of that which is unavailable,” SAADI explains. “I tried to conjure an image of Penelope weaving as she waits for Odysseus.” “The initial inspiration was Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time but it soon took on a life of its own, especially after I added the Stratocaster guitar rhythm track,” SAADI continues.

London-based artist Rob Mawer stirs on his debut single “Cairo,” a darkly cinematic success with visions of nighttime haunts — bolstered further by a series of music videos that depict the titular location “as a nightmarish nightclub.” A memorable vocal brooding combines with a tight mix of guitars, synths, and rhythms that invoke a post-punk engrossment.

Melding an industrial rock pulse with dreamy intrigue, “deathwishkisses” is an affecting new track from Chrome Zero, a project led by Tony Bautista (bass) and Matt Salinas (drums). Themes within showcase a love that lingers “like a ghost,” — resulting in a sense of loss and ensuing “battle between wanting to escape and fearing the loneliness of doing so.” A contrasting of ominous guitars and lush keys complement a ghostly vocal introspection to start. “I have realized the problem,” they let out, ascending seamlessly into a dreamy title-touting refrain. Nocturnal synths provide a backing illumination, bolstering an emotively enthralling soundscape.
“Goners” is a stirring new single from Winston Orz, a Wilmington, NC-based artist who caught our ears last year with the track “Smooth Magic.” “Goners” represents Orz’s first single of 2025, and his fifth overall. A ghostly folk intrigue shows initially, with a whispered vocal entrancement building into a grungy allure as a moving vocal refrain arises. “I am just a goner, she is just a goner,” Orz’s enveloping vocals rise, attaining an atmospheric rock captivation as orchestral elements linger beautifully alongside. Shades of later-era Radiohead show in the emotional, orchestral-tinted rock/folk intertwining. — This and other tracks featured this
