New Music Friday: Zach Top, Brandon Lake, Peech., Parker McCollum, & More

By Justin James | June 13, 2025

Whether you’re chasing sunsets or nursing heartbreak, this week’s New Music Friday has something queued up for you. Zach Top leads the charge with “Good Times and Tan Lines,” a summertime anthem built for backroad cruises, while Chris Andreucci leans into vulnerability with the tender, acoustic-driven “Damn Broke.” If you’re in your feelings, Leon Bridges delivers pure cinematic soul on “Hold On,” and Kehlani bares emotional truths on the stripped-back “Folded.” Over in country, Randall King and Braxton Keith go full honky tonk on “Cheatin’ On My Honky Tonk,” while Dillon Carmichael keeps the genre rooted with “Keepin’ Country Alive.”

Genre lines blur even more with Tanner Adell’s sharp-tongued “Snakeskin,” Mark Ronson & RAYE’s sultry collab “Suzanne,” and Kane Brown’s slick slow-burner “2 Pair.” Rising voices like Peech. (“Be Together”), Alyssa Flaherty (“Know You By Heart”), and Emma Anderson (“Simple Math”) continue to prove that the future of music is emotionally rich and sonically diverse. With big names, bold debuts, and boundary-pushing ballads all dropping at once, one thing’s clear—whatever you’re feeling this weekend, someone just released the soundtrack to match it.
