Press play on the latest edition of NOTION NOW, the playlist featuring the freshest tracks you need to hear.

‘End of the World’ by Miley Cyrus

Slowly but surely, Miley Cyrus is teasing us with music from her forthcoming album, Something Beautiful, which drops at the end of May. ‘End of the World’ is a twinkling pop track injected with the megastar’s instantly recognisable country-tinged vocals.

’Tonight’ by PinkPantheress

Everything PinkPantheress does seems to go viral, and rightly so. After a short hiatus, she’s back with ‘Tonight’, a bouncy track that is the artist’s first venture into UK bassline. She also playfully clapped back at fans on TikTok about the discourse around the length of her tracks: “I wanna see no more song length jokes after this song comes out on Friday.”

‘It Is What It Is’ by Headie One

‘It Is What It Is’ marks Headie One’s long-awaited return to music. Following the rapper’s collaboration with Wingstop for the food chain’s first ever limited edition flavour, Hot Honey Glaze, he is back and ready for more. The track is produced by M1OnTheBeat and comes alongside a film, shot by Don Prod.

‘catch these fists’ by Wet Leg

Our first taste from their upcoming album moisturizer, ‘catch these fists’ is the newest offering from Isle of Wight besties Wet Leg, who recently played a string of intimiate gigs under the moniker Winona Ryder. As punky and unabashed as the rest of their discography, the track features an earworm-worthy guitar riff and lead singer Rhian Teasdale’s punchy vocals. We can’t get enough of this tune, and neither will you.

‘Everybody’s trying to figure me out’ by HAIM

So, when’s the fourth album coming, HAIM? ‘Everybody’s trying to figure me out’ is our latest taste from the project which doesn’t have an official release date yet. The steady indie-pop track takes influences from rock and country, sprinkling in the band’s floral sound. They've been announced to play at New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival as well as Primavera Sound Barcelona and Porto this summer.

‘LCA’ by The Dare

‘LCA’ is the first peak at The Dare’s upcoming extended album cut, What’s Wrong With New York?: Afters . Punchy, angsty and contagious, the track encompasses everything we know and love about the New Yorkers sleazy and sweaty sound.

‘I’m Really Changing’ by Duckwrth

NOTION cover star Duckwrth just released his new album, All American Fuckboy! On the record, he shares, “With every track, I wanted to challenge myself and say the things I’ve been too scared to admit before.” Our pick of the bunch is the psychedelic ‘I’m Really Changing’, which comes alongside a groovy, neon green music video.

‘Sweet Danger’ by Obongjayar

Released alongside a killer music video, ‘Sweet Danger’ by Obongjayar is a summer-ready Afrobeats tune that features off-kilter percussion andsultry guitars. The release comes before his much-awaited album Paradise Now, which will drop in May, and takes its name from the artist’s inrimate party series at Ormside Projects.

‘CRAZY’ by Chy Cartier

A fresh cut taken from her debut mixtape NO BRING INS, Chy Cartier’s ‘CRAZY’ is everything there is to love about the north London rapper. Going viral countless times over the past year, Chy’s recent COLORS performance of ‘SN’ gained her co-signs from numerous stars, including Doechii. It seems that the only way is up for the rising star!

‘DOWN BAD’ by SAILORR

SAILORR keeps her winning streak alive with ‘DOWN BAD’, a melodic crash-out anthem blending Florida bounce with her signature rap/R&B/pop fusion. Riding the momentum of ‘POOKIE'S REQUIEM’ and its viral remix, she leans into infectious hooks and sharp lyricism, proving why she’s one of 2025’s breakout stars. With trunk-rattling bass and a playful yet vulnerable edge, the single is a high-energy preview from her upcoming debut album.
