New Music Friday drops off a global mix

Another Friday, another carefully curated lineup of tunes to jumpstart your weekend. Whether you’re coasting into the evening or turning all the way up, this week’s New Music Friday playlist covers all the sonic bases—from trap anthems and tropical bangers to acoustic serenades and techno pulses. Let’s break it down.

Key Glock – “Hallelujah”

Memphis mainstay Key Glock is back with a commanding solo drop that blends street wisdom with southern swagger. “Hallelujah” isn’t a sermon—it’s a celebration. With booming 808s and Glock’s signature confident delivery, it’s made for bass-heavy speakers and bossed-up moods.

J Balvin & Omega – “KLK”

Colombian superstar J Balvin links with Dominican powerhouse Omega in “KLK”, and the result is a sonic cyclone. It’s an explosive dembow fusion with a shout-out to Caribbean party culture—an immediate add to your dance playlist.

Mt. Joy – “Coyote”

Switching gears into introspective territory, Mt. Joy’s “Coyote” is indie-folk storytelling at its finest. Subtle yet emotionally stirring, it’s the kind of track that makes you want to drive without a destination and just think.

This week’s mix is a study in contrasts: old-school vs. new wave, hard-hitting vs. heartfelt, global rhythms vs. homegrown melodies

• Sam is in a reflective zone with Steve Winwood – “Back in the High Life Again”. This ’80s classic is a smooth, soulful ode to comebacks and clean slates.

• Matt brings heartfelt grit with Josh Meloy – “Porch Light”, a track that pairs whiskey-soaked vocals with raw country warmth.

• Clint cranks it all the way up with Lil Flip – “Game Over”, a nostalgic southern banger that still hits as hard as ever.

• Jas taps into UK rap and Toronto finesse with Dave & Drake – “Wanna Know”. Subtle, sharp, and stylish.

• PICK OF THE WEEK: Adam offers us an acoustic gem with Brent Tyler – “Pretty Tune”, an emotionally honest track that lives up to its name.

• AP throws in a left-field bop with Prozzak – “Sucks To Be You”. Animated pop meets petty perfection—just try not to sing along.

• Lila takes us deep into the underground with Borai & Denham – “Make Me” (Franky Rizardo Remix). A hypnotic house track ready for the club or the after-party.

• Leticia brings the funk with DJ Yuri Martins, MC Vigary & MC Zaac – “Vai Embrazando”. This one’s a baile funk essential—spicy, sweaty, and full of swagger.

• Pete introduces Texas trap heat with Ro$ama & That Mexican OT – “Show Me the Money”. It’s bold, brash, and built for blastin’.

• Brittany closes the loop with Adam Port – “Move”, a sleek techno cut that’s perfect for dancefloor moments or solo struts.
