Chance The Rapper — No Problem (feat. Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz)

One of the most surprising (and successful) collaborations to appear on Chance the Rapper’s new mixtape Coloring Book this week was No Problem, a trap-influenced cut which featured verses from Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz. Anthemic for its entire five minute run, the track is a hype builder for the summer, the sort of song you put on just before heading to a massive party. It’s an unusual direction for Chance, who has a penchant for more gentle rap cuts, but in this case we aren’t complaining.

The Stone Roses — All For One

The Stone Roses - All For One (Official Audio)

The first new material from famed British rockers The Stone Roses in two decades, All For One made massive waves when it landed on the internet earlier this week. It’s a track which showcases everything fans have always loved about the ’90s rockers: A driving beat, mellow vocal stylings, and excellent tones all around. Given how good this single is (its lacking in the lyrics department notwithstanding), we can’t wait to hear other new material from the band, who have reportedly been holed up in the studio for some time.

Nick Leng — Drivers

Drivers is an interesting bit of pop music which mixes contemporary electronic beats with warm vintage tones to create an extremely pleasant anthem. Created by 22-year-old Los Angeles resident Nick Leng, who spent his youth in South Africa, the song has an international mystique; It’s the kind of thing you could easily convince someone was made for a European dance hall, rather than a hipster bar in Silver Lake.

Sick Sad World — Skateboarding Girl

Sick Sad World "Skateboarding Girl" OFFICIAL VIDEO

Garage-y beach pop may be a slowly-receding trend in the music world these days, but every once in awhile a track like Skateboarding Girl comes along to convince us that the genre shouldn’t disappear so quickly. A hip little good-time jam, this sneak attack proves why creators Sick Sad World deserve every drop of hype they have earned so far — and maybe a good bit more. Put it on, fire up the grill, and pop a tall boy: Summer is (almost) here.

Steve Gunn — Ancient Jules

Steve Gunn - "Ancient Jules" Official Video

There’s some definite Paul McCartney influence in the latest single from British songwriter Steve Gunn, and we sure aren’t complaining. A steady-trucking new single which is perfectly suited to a back road drive, Ancient Jules sounds classic and warm, feeling as though Gunn took a time machine to the Wings era. It’s a modern classic of the highest order, the sort of gem which doesn’t surface on streaming-era speakers nearly as often as it should.

If you're a die-hard music fan, you probably keep a curated library of playlists packed with your favorite artists and albums on Spotify, Apple Music, or whatever your favorite music streaming app is. But how do you discover the best indie artists today? Some music-streaming platforms are better than others at celebrating the ‘unsung gem’ acts, but one of the most reliable forums for new, off-the-grid tunes is SoundCloud.

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud has always prioritized music that’s a bit under the radar. With over 320 million tracks in its library, the platform will even let you download a majority of its songs and albums.

The best kids headphones of 2025: for fun, safety, and sound

Kid-friendly consumer tech is all the rage these days, so it’s no surprise that there’s an entire market of headphones designed exclusively for young ones. But when we think “kid-friendly,” sometimes we imagine products that are built to be a bit more throwaway than their adult counterparts. That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.

How to master your equalizer settings for the perfect sound

Casual listeners might boot up Spotify or turn on the radio to listen to music without giving the balance or sound stage much thought. Audiophiles on the other hand like to dig a bit deeper and customize their experience. One common way to tinker with how music sounds is adjustments to the equalizer, which offers the freedom to tweak every aspect of the sound booming out of headphones or speakers. Even some streaming services now have built-in EQs, giving you more ways than ever to play with your music and find something that best fits your ears.

Shaping the equalizer to your preferences can be daunting to newcomers, as there are tons of cryptic settings you can manipulate. And if you mess with the wrong one, your sound quality might take a nasty hit. Thankfully, learning the basics isn't too difficult.
