In some ways, 2022 felt like one of the most unpredictable years for music in recent memory. Sure, there were some obvious bets: Kendrick would drop a universally acclaimed album, Taylor would dominate the charts, Beyoncé and Drake would own the attention of the world. But outside of the elite class of superstars, everything is up in the air. Who would’ve thought that Steve Lacy would land the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 or that Yung Lean would end up with the most popular song on TikTok?

As summer ends and cuffing season begins, many of us will soon find ourselves navigating love’s throes while looking for the right companion to spend the winter with. Not me though, I’m good – but I’m still looking out for you because I know that the end of the year is hard to experience alone. Luckily, LA-based singer/songwriter Gaia Calista arrives this week with her debut single “Last Call”, a complex yet emotive banger about romantic tension and uncertainty.

We all know a guy, but do you know Noah Guy? *pause for laughter*. Known best for his affinity for clever songwriting and smooth indie-pop sounds, our king returns to us this week with the new banger “2 DOGS 1 LEASH” – an energetic love letter to navigating romance and walking dogs.
