05. Unholy
The majority of pop musician Sam Smith’s songs are depressing piano ballads about his former male loves, if you are familiar with him. Not this time though. His most recent song, “unholy” (co-written with German singer Kim Petras), represents a significant change.
This song, which has Arabic undertones and centers on a husband and his unrepentant promiscuity against his wife, introduces a new level of sexual deviance to Smith’s audience.

06. 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)
“2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)” was co-written by Lizzo and Max Martin. She compared the process to see a legend in action.
The song is a throwback to the golden age of pop music in the late ’80s and early ’90s, when performers had big singles that were both danceable and vocally stunning, and the production quality was highly deliberate.

09. ABCDEFU by Gayle
Gayle is unquestionably not an overnight success. Before “ABCDEFU,” her breakthrough single, she had amassed over five million streams as an independent artist on well-known music services like Spotify and Apple Music.
You probably opened TikTok recently and asked, “Who sings “ABCDEFU,” that ridiculously popular breakup song with an alphabet theme that everyone is dancing to?”

10. Evergreen by Omar Apollo
Omar Apollo recently used a video on TikTok to promote “Evergreen” by shaking his ass. Apollo last week received his first-ever Billboard Hot 100 entry, demonstrating that his efforts were successful.
The video opens with the singer, who is alleged to have dated Frank Ocean, taking his hoodie off. Apollo turns and starts flailing his ass in front of the camera when the song’s words, “You didn’t deserve me at all,” appear.
