Any hot new music to recommend?

[mistyrain]

I tend to bump into new releases on Spotify, often artists I’ve never heard of before. Some of them are not worth listening to more than half a second while others are just great. I would love to discover more of the good stuff. Do you have any suggestions in the pop genre? Here is my newest discovery, just to give you an example:

Thanks for the recommendation! I like it!
Have you heard about Sunrise Avenue? It's a great band with many awesome songs.

Wonder if it’s self promotion if I say myself? lol.

I’ve been listening to all sorts of new artists throughout many genres tbh.


Mainly metal, and dark trap. But EDM, dark electro, and anything with a heavy dark vibe to it.

Darkmage4,

It does seem like a few have joined lately from the same location to promote the same band and the same website. They may not want to know how we feel about spammers or their music.

However, no, I have no hot or new music suggestions. I've been listening to my musician friends play on Twitch, but I won't spam their links.

Here's my list of my favorite albums from 2020 to the present (sorted chronologically, so the newest stuff is at the bottom). I'm more into rock than pop, but if you prefer pop then you might enjoy the albums by Jeff Rosenstock, Bite Me Bambi, and the Beths.

You might also find some good recommendations at /r/popheads. I don't go there, but I have seen it pop up a few times while searching for music. Seems to be a pretty active community dedicated to discussing new releases in pop music.
