Dana Vaughns’ “We Can Party”

If you’re anything like us, you’re yearning for simpler times when you could dance the night away. Thankfully, R&B singer-songwriter and star of Netflix’s Never Have I Ever’s Dana Vaughns has the perfect solution. His new single, “We Can Party,” combines ’90s and ’00s influences and will have you on your feet. It’s quickly become the summer anthem of 2020. “‘We Can Party’ is the antidote for our quarantine blues. If this song makes somebody feel even half as good as it makes me, I’ve done my job,” Dana told us.

MEIA’s “Antisocial”

If a night on the town isn’t your scene, we get it. We enjoy some alone time too. When we’re spending some well-deserved “me” time, we’re blasting MEIA’s latest, “Antisocial,” on repeat! As MEIA described it to us, “‘Antisocial’ is for those who would rather order pizza and binge Netflix than go out on the town to party—those silently enjoying quarantine. It’s a simple ‘no thank you, I’d rather be home.”.

Dan Aura’s “Hate It”

Brighton, England, singer-songwriter Dan Aura is following the success of his debut single, “Changes,” with yet another banger. The rising star told Pop Culturalist, “‘Hate It’ is a representation of the inner conflict that comes with letting someone back into your life that has hurt you in the past. Most of us have that one person who’s treated you really badly in the past, who you somehow still retain love and affection for because of who they are as a person. I believe everyone deserves a second chance, but sometimes those second chances are something that we regret. A lot.”

Maren Morris’ “Just for Now”

Maren Morris has taken over the country music world with her masterful songwriting skills and haunting vocals. During this period of self-isolation, the Queen of Country Music has dug through the archives and blessed fans with a pair of previously unreleased singles titled “Just for Now” and “Take Two”—exactly what we needed to get through these unprecedented times.

Chris Anthony’s “Get Away”

Singer-songwriter Chris Anthony has had a meteoric rise in the industry since we first introduced you to him back in September 2019. Since then, he’s captured the hearts of listeners around the world and is following up his debut single with “Get Away.” It’s the perfect summer jam for anyone who overthinks and tries to define a relationship in their own head. We’ve all been there, right?

Blimes and Gab’s “Shellys (It’s Chill)”

Seattle MC Gab and San Francisco-bred Blimes Brixton are the dynamic rap duo behind Blimes and Gab. Together they’re kicking off summer with their disco-inspired single, “Shellys (It’s Chill),” which radiates with the pair’s undeniable chemistry and infectious energy.

Levi Hummon’s “Rock and Roses”

It’s hard to believe that anyone would break country superstar Levi Hummon’s heart. But that’s exactly what inspired his latest hit, “Rock and Roses.” Like a true artist, Levi turned to his craft to help him get through one of the worst breakups in his life. Today, the song serves as a reminder that sadness doesn’t last forever.

Grant Knoche’s “PAPER HOUSE”

Grant Knoche has talent well beyond his years. At only seventeen, he has already racked up close to a million streams worldwide, showing he knows how to strike a chord with any listener. This spring, he continues his impressive track record with his latest single, “PAPER HOUSE,” which ignites those all-too-familiar feelings of being in a relationship that looks good on paper, but when you’re both not giving it your all, it goes up in flames.

Ilton’s “Against the Wall”

Alt-pop artist Ilton released “Against the Wall” back in May, and it’s only grown in relevance since. Frustrated by the government’s response to everything going on in the world, Ilton wrote “Against the Wall” to express how many of us are feeling in this moment in history.

Twentylove’s “sorry pt. 1”

Twentylove may be newcomers to the industry, but they know how to make an impressive debut. Fronted by Dan Burke, the pop band have penned a song about the lengths that we’re willing to go for love. If this is a taste of what’s to come, twentylove are, without question, a band that should be on your radar.

Lost Saints’ “We Don’t Fight”

Another band that everyone should keep their eye on is Lost Saints. Composed of friends Afton Addington, Chris Biano, and Derrick Casteel, Lost Saints are delivering three-part harmonies that we can’t get enough of. Their debut single, “We Don’t Fight,” is for anyone who’s ever had a hard time letting go of a relationship that wasn’t good for them!
