This week’s music scene is exploding with fresh releases, and it’s a battle of the titans! From K-pop sensations to indie-rock collaborations, the question is: which track will steal your heart? But here’s where it gets controversial—while some artists are blending voices for love, others are singing about letting go. Which side are you on?
On October 10, 2025, the music world was treated to a flurry of new releases, each more captivating than the last. JISOO of BLACKPINK and Zayn Malik kicked things off with their duet, Eyes Closed. This lush ballad is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, as the duo weaves their distinct voices together to sing about moving on from the past for the sake of new love. But is letting go really that simple? Share your thoughts below!
Meanwhile, HAIM and Bon Iver teamed up for Tie You Down, a collaboration that’s as seamless as it is poignant. Unlike JISOO and Zayn’s optimistic take, this indie-rock gem explores the heartache of ending a relationship despite lingering feelings. Which narrative resonates more with you?
The week’s collaborations didn’t stop there. Gorillaz joined forces with Trueno and Proof for The Manifesto, while Alemeda and Doechii dropped the fiery Beat a B!tch Up. And let’s not forget A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s Part of Me, a post-breakup anthem that cleverly interpolates Mariah Carey’s We Belong Together. Is this the ultimate breakup playlist, or what?
On the album front, Khalid takes the lead with After the Sun Goes Down, his latest project arriving just over a year after Sincerely. With a five-year gap since Free Spirit, fans are eager to dive into his new R&B vibes. But is it worth the wait?
