Every Monday, we bring you a playlist filled with new tracks the Melodic staff has been listening to on repeat. Hear some of our latest obsessions below:
——
Jon Batiste, “BIG MONEY” – Jon Batiste has announced that his new album, Big Money, is coming to streaming platforms this summer. In a social post, Batiste announced the album, with the title track and music video also available. The album is due out Aug. 22.

——
MIRADOR, “Feels Like Gold” – On “Feels Like Gold,” Jake and Chris carve a new path for themselves through a blend of rock, blues, traditional folklore, and more. The track begins with an exposed guitar solo that immediately pulls you in before giving way to killer rockstar vocals. Lyrically, the song explores themes of culture, history, and the underlying need to pursue the riches of life. Overall, MIRADOR encourage unity and understanding on this track, all in an effort to overcome the violence and global friction that threatens to tear humanity apart.
– Christine Sloman
——
Callum Kerr, “All Out Of Me” – The EP’s opener, All Out of Me, sets the tone with emotional vocals and twangy guitar lines. The song is a mid-tempo ballad about vulnerability and giving your all to love. The instrumentation balances folk warmth with a rock edge, making it accessible and heartfelt.
– Sarah Wagner
——
JESSIA, “Therapy & Yoga” – Pop singer and songwriter JESSIA has released her latest single, “Therapy & Yoga,” an upbeat anthem about stepping into a new chapter with confidence and self-love. The track explores JESSIA’s evolution as an artist and a woman embracing independence, radiating self-worth, and unapologetically putting herself first. Wrapped in an undeniably catchy pop sound, the song is all about thriving as a form of ultimate revenge.
– Taylor Swinton
