New releases in 2025, get to know 'em.

2025, we are almost halfway through it with some absolute belter of releases.

'25 has been soundtracked through change with some artists pushing out of the genre they are typically known for. There has been a very evident shift towards country folk/pop following Beyoncés Cowboy Carter of 2024. With 2025 releases including Chappell Roan's "The Giver", Role Models Deluxe of "Kansas Anymore" with the longest goodbye very reminiscent of Randy Newmans You've got a friend in me. We also have Sabrina Carpenter's Deluxe of "Short n' Sweet" with a feature from Dolly Parton on Please Please Please.

Role Model - Kansas Anymore (the longest goodbye)

Sabrina Carpenter- Short n' Sweet (Deluxe)

Chappell Roan - The Giver

Albums from Sam Fender and Djo have also provided some absolute tunes in the indie rock world, with Sam's TV dinner and Djo's Potion being a stand outs for me.

Djo - The Crux

Sam Fender - People Watching
