Songs You Missed Over the Weekend (& Need on Your Playlist ASAP)

Songs You Missed Over the Weekend (& Need on Your Playlist ASAP)

The weekend might be for sleeping in, brunching hard, and pretending Monday doesn’t exist — but it’s also a prime time for music drops that can slip right past you while you’re double-tapping memes. Now that you’re back at your desk (or doomscrolling in bed, no judgement), we’re here to make sure your playlist is as stacked as your group chat.

From dark, thrashing electro-pop to late-night underground vibes, this week’s roster is wall-to-wall artistry. Evelyn’s “Playstation” leads the charge, joined by heavy-hitters and rising stars like Chappell Roan, Rema, Hayley Williams, and more. 

Whether you’re in the mood to brood, dance, or just main-character your commute, here’s everything you missed while you were living your weekend life.

Playstation – Evelyn 

“Playstation” isn’t just a song you hear — it’s one you sink into. From the first pulse of its jagged guitars to the rush of its hyperpop-infused melodies, it pulls you under like a riptide. The production is dense yet addictive, layering glitchy textures over a beat that feels both urgent and hypnotic, perfectly mirroring the way time disappears when you’re deep in your guilty pleasures. It’s the kind of track you play once out of curiosity and find yourself looping all afternoon because it refuses to let go. 

Written during a sweltering LA summer while Evalyn was pregnant, it distills that claustrophobic mix of restlessness, indulgence, and low-key dread into a dark pop knockout. The song marks a fearless shift for her upcoming album A Quiet Life, a project steeped in transformation and sonic risk-taking. With over a decade of turning personal turbulence into pop catharsis, 130 million Spotify streams, and collaborations with electronic visionaries like Louis the Child, Dillon Francis, and Jai Wolf, Evalyn has never sounded more magnetic, more visceral, or more unstoppable than she does here.

The Subway- Chappell Roan

Chappell Roan’s “The Subway” is a neon-lit fever dream that transforms the grind of a daily commute into something cinematic. Her signature mix of theatrical flair and unfiltered honesty plays out over lush, swelling synths, each lyric a fleeting snapshot — strangers’ faces, flickering tunnel lights, the kind of revelations that only surface when you’re in motion. It’s moody, hypnotic, and tailor-made for those late-night rides when the city hums just outside the glass. And while it’s brand new, her aching refrain that “she got away” hits with the weight of a song you’ve been singing your whole life.

KELEBU- Rema

“KELEBU” is quintessential ravelord Rema — an artist who’s mastered the soundtrack to youth in motion. It’s a call to dance, a call to surrender to the chaos of spontaneous nights, driven by band-like drums that pound with a steady, frenetic energy. Rema’s velvety Afrobeats cadence glides over layered percussion and glossy hooks, his distorted vocals melting into the beat itself — a trick he’s championed since HEIS. The result is swagger in high-definition: magnetic, effortless, and capable of turning any space into a dance floor, whether you’re packed into a club, high above the city on a rooftop, or lost in the rhythm with nothing but your headphones for company.

Glum- Hayley Williams

“Glum” finds Hayley Williams pulling her arena-sized voice into strange, intimate territory. She toys with it mercilessly, layering effects until it’s almost unrecognizable — a ghost of its usual power — only to strip the vocoder away at the song’s loudest moments, letting her raw, unfiltered bellow crash through. Over sparse, moody instrumentation, every note hangs heavy with unspoken ache, turning the track into a slow-burn alt-pop ballad that simmers with melancholy. It’s both restrained and cathartic, the sonic equivalent of staring at the ceiling in the dark and letting your thoughts drift somewhere bittersweet.

On The Low- Tiwa Savage, Skepta

Tiwa Savage and Skepta’s “On The Low” is a late-night rendezvous in song form — sultry, atmospheric, and steeped in tension. Tiwa’s velvet-smooth vocals weave around Skepta’s razor-sharp bars, the two trading verses like glances across a crowded room. It’s Afro-fusion with a cinematic edge, perfect for the after-hours.

Shy- Reneé Rapp

All jagged edges and vocal firepower, Reneé Rapp’s BITE ME cut “Shy” hits like a flashback to the late-90s alt-rock boom, fused with early-2000s pop-punk bite. The chorus is dangerously catchy, its lyrical phrasing made for shouting out of car windows, while Rapp’s delivery keeps the whole thing simmering with attitude. Not every choice lands — the spoken-word bridge over a drumline feels like it wandered in from another song — but the energy, charisma, and unapologetic punch make it an easy repeat for fans who like their pop with grit.

Cabin Feva- ENNY

ENNY’s “Cabin Feva” is an intricate blend of jazzy grooves and whip-smart lyricism. Her delivery is so smooth it’s easy to miss just how sharp her observations are, weaving playful rhymes into a portrait of cabin-bound restlessness. It’s clever, laid-back, and brimming with replay value.

Fast- Demi Lovato

With its dance-pop chassis and a jolt of EDM adrenaline, Demi Lovato’s “Fast” barrels forward like it has somewhere urgent to be. Guitars snarl, drums pound, and her vocals slice through the mix with raw, undeniable power, injecting every line with urgency. The chorus is catchy enough to stick on first listen, and the track’s high-octane energy makes it a perfect blast-while-you-get-ready anthem. Still, while it delivers on impact, some listeners might find it skews toward the generic, leaning on familiar pop-rock formulas instead of carving out something distinctly Lovato. Either way, when you need a sonic shot of espresso, “Fast” gets the job done.

What About Love- Cian Ducrot

“What About Love” sees Cian Ducrot at his most cinematic. The piano-led ballad swells into a soaring chorus that feels tailor-made for film credits, with his voice cracking just enough to let the emotion bleed through. It’s heartfelt, anthemic, and destined to soundtrack someone’s heartbreak montage.
