2 April 2026 - Angèle ft. Justice - What You Want

Had I known Angèle had new music coming in March, I wouldn't have posted her in February. 

I literally could not wait any additional time to post her newest single today.  It's in English and French, and it is just a GREAT pop song. Teaming up with electronic duo Justice, they have made possible the most accessible and obvious hit song for both of them - and since it was written by Angèle herself (with composition contribution by Justice), it's clear she's well in tune with what makes a hit.  

The video was shot on iPhone. No joke. And it's completely unhinged. 

1 April 2026 - Lexie Liu - POP GIRL

Welcome back to the rest of the world. 

This may be the first Chinese artist we've featured on here that wasn't born in Chicago.  

Indeed, she is Chinese - raised in Hunan province - and got her big break on Korean and Chinese reality TV shows.  

She released her new EP Teenage Ramble in 2025, and this song as its lead single.  It's superficial, poppy... and an awful lot of fun. Co-written by the artist and producer Yu Zeng, the song is definitely CONSTRUCTED, but also PERFORMED and performed and constructed WELL by Liu. 

She's young, yes, but also, she has a hell of a stage presence, as can be seen in this 2024 performance of the song.  Even before this song was released as a single, she had the crowd LOVING it.
