This feels like a return to form for Katseye<\/a>: no gimmicks, no rage bait, just a straightforward, solid pop song.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There\u2019s no shortage of Soundcheck-worthy songs on Music, Fashion, Film<\/em><\/a>, but none of them have a music video starring Vincent Cassel. Whether she continues down the path of pop stardom or makes the pivot into a full-blown movie star still remains to be seen, but if she chooses the latter, this feels like a nice passing of the baton. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Team NYLON has been bemoaning the lack of a true song of the summer for a while now, but maybe the vibe for SOTS 2026 is less weddings, funerals, graduations<\/a>, and more convertible hood down, road tripping to the beach, air surfing out the window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This is by far Ad\u00e9la\u2019s<\/a> most Miley Cyrus<\/a> Bangerz-<\/em>esque song yet, which is probably (exactly) what the Disney Channel devotee was going for. Brava, prima<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Deserves a spot on this list for the music video alone. The gang vocals on the chorus are quite literally music to my ears.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Delivering on the mission statement of Therapy At The Club<\/a>, <\/em>the FLO girls are ditching their tear-soaked beds for the sweat-filled euphoria of the dance floor. If you\u2019re not overheating by the end of the track, you better run that sh*t back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Love Spells\u2019 breezy falsetto will never fail to amaze me. Already enchanting on its own, his voice shines even brighter over this groovy country-meets-bedroom-pop beat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
