All of our favorite pop-star elves are putting in overtime this season, dropping holiday tunes left and right these past few months.

    Here are seven new holiday tracks that we’ve been loving and that will make the perfect addition to your festive party playlists.

    Evergreen Christmas Sessions By Hunter Hayes

    As we said, we love a stellar cover of any Christmas classic. Hunter Hayes is giving us four new ones on his holiday EP, Evergreen Christmas Sessions. From ‘Winter Wonderland’ to ‘Silent Night,’ we’re loving these covers with the Hunter Hayes country-inspired twist. His voice is like a warm, cozy night in front of the fireplace! Which of the four songs on this EP were your favorite?

    ‘Santa Tell Me’ By Paris WYA

    If there’s one thing that’s always true, it’s that we’re always cheering Paris WYA on in this hive! She decided to leave us a little surprise under the tinsel tree this year with a gorgeous rendition of Ariana Grande‘s ‘Santa Tell Me.’ This is one of the best pop Christmas songs out there, so Paris WYA taking it on was no small feat! We loved the entire 3 minutes and 26 seconds and will 100% be adding this rendition to our holiday party playlists.

    This Is What Christmas Feels Like By JVKE And Forrest Frank

    So many full-length Christmas albums this year! When we heard that JVKE and Forrest Frank were teaming up this year for a nine-track album filled with original holiday songs, we couldn’t contain our excitement. If you love JVKE’s calming, dreamy, pop sound, you’re going to absolutely love songs like ‘this is what christmas feels like,’ ‘the cozy part,’ and ‘this is what new years feels like.’ Nothing beats a new JVKE song, but especially during the holiday season!

    ‘This Christmas’ By 3QUENCY

    Yes, this Christmas is certainly made better with this new release by powerhouse girl group 3QUENCY.

    “‘This Christmas’ has always held a special place in my heart. I can’t think of the holidays without hearing Donny Hathaway’s voice in my mind, or remembering those nights gathered around the table for the Feast of the Seven Fishes with my whole family. Those moments shaped so many of my favorite holiday memories,” Bri says. “As I grew older, discovering new renditions of the song by artists and groups I love only deepened its magic. It’s always inspired me, and this year we thought it would be meaningful and fun to make it our own. I’m truly grateful to share that 3Quency has taken a heartfelt swing at this holiday classic. We hope it brings you as much joy and warmth as it’s brought us.”

    3QUENCY said in a press release

    All you honeybees already know we love the 3QUENCY girls, so this release was an extra special gift this season in the hive. Their rendition of ‘This Christmas’ is just as festive as you would imagine, with a joyful, warm flair that the girls naturally bring to all their songs. Next year, we need a full Christmas album!

    ‘Christmas Starts Tonight’ By Olly Murs And The Ordinary Boys

    The holiday season doesn’t start until Olly Murs drops a new song!

    “‘Christmas Starts Tonight’ has had the maddest journey… It began as a demo of ‘Run This Town’ that never quite found its moment. Fast forward to 2025 and it ends up on my new album, I perform it on Strictly, and suddenly I’m hearing it as a Christmas song. So I sent Sam a message and somehow we’ve turned it into a full-on festive anthem and properly reconnected in the process. It feels fresh, it feels fun, and honestly… I couldn’t be more excited to now have a fully fledged Christmas tune out with The Ordinary Boys.”

    Olly Murs said in a press release

    We need a little freshness this season, and Olly Murs and The Ordinary Boys certainly have brought it. In fact, this song just may be the star on top of our tree this year. What a pleasant surprise this song has been! We can’t wait to add it to our playlists and stream it on Christmas Eve.

  • Your Weekend Playlist: New Music To Listen To This Friday

    Your Weekend Playlist: New Music To Listen To This Friday

    Happy Friday, everyone! Not gonna lie, this week felt about a billion years long — and as I’m looking forward to Sea.Hear.Now, I’m ready to listen to a bunch of music. The good news: each week a ton of artists release new music each Friday…so we have a lot to look forward to.

    This week, like every week, I made a fresh playlist filled with fresher new tracks for you to show your friends. Now that we’ve all settled in for the fall, there’s nothing better than new music to listen to while you hang out and watch football with you friends and family, or while you’re getting ready to go to brunch with the girls, or really any plans you have.

    Every week, I search through every playlist, press release, and email alike to find the best new music released. That way, you don’t have to struggle to find a good playlist when your friends put you on aux duty. And, it won’t be the same old playlist you listen to every weekend…because everything on this one is brand new!

    If you’re as excited as I am to hear what we have in store for this weekend’s playlist…let’s get listening!

    MEDUZA, HAYLA- “Another World”

    HAYLA is quickly emerging as one of the biggest voices in house music right now. With tracks alongside John Summit like “Where You Are” and “Shiver,” and now this collab with MEDUZA, she’s established her vocal prowess and shown the world she’s a force to be reckoned with.

    “Another World” has all the makings of the perfect dance track: a great, catchy beat by MEDUZA and a dance-worthy hook and chorus from HAYLA. “Another World” was definitely made to be performed live, for audiences and crowds coming together and having the time of their lives.

    Dayglow- “Mindless Creatures” 

    Dayglow has released his “debut” album, DAYGLOW, and with it comes lead single “Mindless Creatures.” The song itself captures Dayglow as an artist perfectly: with elements of surf rock, indie touches, and captivating choruses. “Mindless Creatures” is saturated in fun, a true sign that Dayglow knows who he is as a singer-songwriter-producer extraordinaire.

    The album itself deserves its own listen, but “Mindless Creatures” is a great start for those who want to get to know Dayglow. It’s feel good, introspective, and nostalgic music. A great response to his mega-hits like “Can I Call You Tonight” and “Hot Rod.”

    INJI, Nile Rodgers- “SEXY 4EVER”

    Breakout star INJI is here to make hit songs that combine pop and dance with her sassy lyricism and hard-hitting vocals. Her real vocal power is like her secret weapon to those who may not know she can belt it out with the best of them. In her new EP, WE GOOD, INJI produces five flawless records that build off her success from TikTok viral hit, “GASLIGHT.”

    Not only does “SEXY 4EVER” highlight how important it is to let loose no matter what your age is, icon Nile Rodgers hopped on the track to work with INJI. From current icon Rodgers to budding icon INJI, “SEXY 4EVER” shows INJI is ready to take a step into superstardom.

    Tate McRae- “It’s ok I’m ok”

    If you were missing old school pop princess vibes, then Tate McRae is here to save you. Think Danity Kane, The Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears…that’s what we’re talking: big dance numbers, Y2K nostalgia, and sexy lyrics. It’s about female empowerment, ear-wormy radio hits that will continue to catapult McRae into the popstar category she so deserves.

    Whether it’s her viral live performances, insane dance routines, or pure pop songs, Tate McRae is at the forefront of our minds for a reason. She may have been snubbed by the Grammy’s, but she will get her flowers soon enough. Especially with “It’s ok I’m ok” and it’s already viral accompanying video.

    Suki Waterhouse- “Model, Actress, Whatever”


    One of my favorite crooning indie artists out there is actually well-known model, actress, whatever Suki Waterhouse. She perfectly embodies the moody, yearning, pining starlet we all need in the music industry. Similar to what Lana Del Rey provides, Suki Waterhouse is equally serving.

    In new album, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, her single “Model, Actress, Whatever” is a commentary on her life right now. As a new mother alongside Robert Pattinson, a talented actress, model, and singer, Waterhouse seems to have it all going on. But she warns you to F*** what you heard.

    Cloonee, Andruss- “Pegao”

    Collaborators Andruss and Cloonee hit the mark with “Pegao,” a high energy, exciting track that stays dynamic throughout its entirety. Rising star Andruss is keeping the momentum strong with another single with the potential to be a major club hit…and of course, Cloonee, with his signature ability to make any track of his an EDM hit.

    The pair make sense while working together: with Andruss’ explosive vocals and lyricism, and Cloonee’s solidified approach to making a banger. “Pegao” just continues another big year for both Andruss and Cloonee alike.

    JVKE, Nick Jonas- “this is what forever feels like”  

    The playlist needed an ethereal love song to end it on a strong note. Who better than unlikely pairing, JVKE and Nick Jonas, to deliver just what we needed? A passionate devotion to their loved ones that they want to love them for the rest of their lives.

    The production is what launches this song from just another love song to something entirely unique. A strong backing and two voices who perfectly meld together, “this is what forever feels like” transcends you into a different planet…one of love and futuristic vibes.
