“Whiskey’s Whisperin’” – Brandon Wisham

Wisham follows up his country-rock banger “She’s Good” with “Whiskey’s Whisperin’,” a modern drinking song that fuses R&B flair with Southern grit. The South Carolina artist calls the track his most authentic yet, blending influences from Luke Combs to Justin Bieber into his self-styled “Rhythm & Boots” sound.

“June” – Diana Silvers

Actor and creative multi-hyphenate Diana Silvers makes her music debut with “June,” a raw, folk-inflected single that feels both intimate and deliberate. Written, produced, and self-directed entirely by Silvers, the track marks her arrival as an artist fully in command of her voice and vision.

“What He Does” – Alexandra Kay

“IN A MOOD” – INJI

NYC dance-pop breakout INJI teams up with Louis the Child for “IN A MOOD,” a glittering yet vulnerable anthem about the highs of nightlife and the lows that follow. Playful brand name-drops and tongue-in-cheek bravado mask the 3 AM ache of wondering if someone’s thinking of you too — making this track both clever and cathartic.
