MELODRIFT: MUSIC OF THE WEEK (16.05.25)

Discover the newest music that the MELODRIFT team have been listening to.

Sunrise in Jupiter ‘Take Me Home’

Blending sky-high ambition with emotional honesty, Sunrise in Jupiter’s “Take Me Home” is like a space shuttle with a beating heart. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever felt lightyears away from what they love, delivered with thunderous guitars, lush textures, and a chorus that could launch satellites. It’s personal, powerful, and proof that this band isn’t just reaching for the stars — they’re bringing feelings with them.

Shawn Matthew ‘Work To The Beat’

Shawn Matthew just flipped the script with “Work to the Beat”—a chaotic, club-crushing concoction of bass house, dubstep, and trap that hits like a Red Bull-fueled freight train. It’s got dirty drops, swagger-heavy vocals, and the kind of breakdown that makes you forget what day it is. If you like your bangers with a side of whiplash and wild energy, this one’s for you.

Stephen Sol ‘Forever Changed’

If your heart’s ever been gently broken and left with a handwritten thank-you note, “Forever Changed” is your new anthem. Stephen Sol’s velvet-smooth vocals glide over acoustic textures like honey on a cold day — warm, sticky, and unexpectedly comforting. It’s not just a breakup song; it’s a graceful bow to love that didn’t last, but still meant everything.

Peso The Misfit ‘New Age Love’

If late-night texts had a soundtrack, it would sound a lot like Peso The Misfit’s “New Age Love”—slick, sexy, and just the right amount of toxic. It’s R&B with a wink, wrapped in a hip-hop edge, and smooth enough to sneak onto your “just vibing” playlist without trying too hard. There’s even a lyric that’ll make you laugh mid-sway. Peso’s got range, and this is just his opening move.

Zweng ‘Good To Be Free’

With “Good To Be Free”, Zweng delivers a triumphant, cathartic anthem that marks both a personal and musical rebirth. The track bursts open with an electric, Oasis-inspired energy, mirroring the euphoria and vulnerability that accompany the commitment to sobriety and self-rediscovery. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, with an infectious sense of liberation balancing the raw introspection that defines much of Zweng’s new album, Toronto Tapes. From the soaring melodies to the heartfelt lyrics, “Good To Be Free” is a sonic declaration of freedom, capturing the complex beauty of choosing authenticity after years of self-doubt. It’s a powerful opening to an album that promises to explore the highs and lows of reinvention.
