LITM Pop picks tunes that will redefine your week taking out all your Monday blues brought to you by Jus Min, Dawning, Frank Joshua, JULIENT and Francesca Pichierri.

1. Jus Min - High Speed

   High Speed is an electrifying ride through an exciting soundscape of synths, beats, and high-energy adrenaline by Jus Min. The song boils with energetic powerplay, hanging a notch between electronic and pop influences, which makes it a perfect catch for urgency about chasing dreams at full speed.

   The opening track, "High Speed," gets started with dancing synth lines accompanied by pulsating beats, shooting you off to another speed in no time. Instrumentally crafted vocals cruise over the backdrop of the musicians, drawing lyrics of ambition and determination.

   This includes lines to celebrate the relentlessness and attention-a hallmark of the entire work. Very slick atmospheric and driving interactions keep consumers completely absorbed what's not called for in some upbeat party comp is totally left out of an album like that.

   High speed is the name of it - High Speed, another praise for high-octane life from Min. It makes the ride action-packed at the right moments.

2. Dawning - Want That

Want That by Dawning is a rich, sultry R&B soundtrack that weaves longing, desire, and vulnerability into one. Rich production and emotive delivery make it sound great for those late-night moments.

The opening is minimalist with lush keys and soft percussion in a mood to what is later dominated by the voice. Dawning's voice never sounds anything less than masterful in its ability to pinpoint the push and pull of yearning.

It captures the ache of longing for a person who's out of one's reach. The lines are poignant enough to have created a bitter-sweet tension. Warm harmonies and complex melodies give this richness to the telling.

It is so intimate in its reflective nature, this is one song about emotion as well as soundscapes. Vulnerabilities are strength in Dawning's world; every note lingered after the fading of the song.

3. Frank Joshua - Walls

Walls is a touching journey into walls we set up and the strength that it takes to break those walls. The folk melodies of this track have, in conjunction with poignant lyrics, given an intimate setting for listeners to reflect and connect.

It's heavily dominated by acoustic guitar and very softly nudges the whole arrangement to centre to the emotive voice of Frank. He speaks raw, he speaks honestly. And weight gets added to the lines. 

This builds beautifully into subtle strings and harmonies that just beg for catharsis, a testament to the power of simplicity in storytelling where every element seems purposefully and personally crafted.

Walls is an anthem for a soul who is built around self-imposed limitations, translated through art making the track relate-able and deeply moving to one's core by Frank Joshua.

4. JULIENT - Break-free

JULIENT's Break-free is anthemic in nature, an alternative rock number, but it contains soaring pop sensibilities. Full of driving energy and empowering lyrics, this one is for all those personal triumph moments.

Breaking off with a catchy guitar riff, Break-free immediately sets the tone to be defiant and determined. JULIENT sings with tenacity and conviction commanding into your ears with the lines. Clean yet dirty production balances the anthem choruses to be put side by side with the reflective verses, and this adds layer upon layer of instrumentation to a climatic finale that leaves one invigorated and turned on.

Break-free captures the spirit of the song - about breaking free from all the chains, be it internal or external. JULIENT has somehow managed to come up with a track that is as cathartic as it is very elevating and should be heard to the bone of all those loving empowering rock anthems.

5. Francesca Pichierri - Sperarci Due Eroi 

Sperarci Due Eroi by Francesca Pichierri is actually a great ballad of cinematic orchestration combined with Italian heartfelt lyrics to create a great and evocative listening experience.

It begins with very subtle piano lines that evolve to become an anthemic sweep as Francesca brings the centre with her emotional, crystalline voice. Tender, commanding delivery keeps you glued to the tale of love, hope, and heroism.

It's beautifully written in Italian; it's the song that portrays the theme of finding strength within each other. Phrases such as "Sperarci due eroi" (Hoping we're two heroes) depict shared resilience and an untainted connection.

Orchestral elements bring dramatic and deep moments into the song's narrative, so each moment of crescendo is a victory and each silent moment allows the heart to introspect.

Sperarci Due Eroi will be a really good masterclass in emotional storytelling from Francesca, who can create sounds that transcend the boundaries of language and culture. A song that clings to the heart long after the last beat.

1. Angryoldogs - Woke

   Angryoldogs' Woke is an unapologetic burst of raw energy, coupling biting commentary with a gritty, punk-driven edge. The track doesn't just play in the background; it reaches out and grabs you by the collar and forces your attention.

The vocals sneered out and fired with such intensity, perfectly encapsulating the frustration and rebellion written into the lyrics.

LITM Rock picks tunes that will take you a trip down the memory lane brought to you The Sea At Midnight, Partners in Crime, Anna Thoresen, Richard Tyler Epperson and Whereafter.

1. The Sea At Midnight - Our Brilliant Destruction

   Darkwave merges with poetry as in the case of Our Brilliant Destruction, one of the more hauntingly magnetic tracks from The Sea At Midnight. This one is like musically walking at night through neon-lit cities at midnight-dark and brooding but full of energy.

   The pulsing bassline becomes the heartbeat for the atmospheric layers of shimmering synths and subtle guitar riffs within this track. At once nostalgic and modern, an '80s fever dream reimagined to fit today's existential crises, the vocals hold longing and mystery, bearing introspection and revealing truths that haunt long after the song has stopped.

   Lyrically, the song goes into the beauty and chaos of self-destruction, and how we rebuild from our own ruins. The lines are paradoxical in the celebration of falling apart. It is raw, honest, and undeniably captivating.

   Our Brilliant Destruction shines as a siren for lovers of post-punk and darkwave, speaking a catharsis that somehow is both particular and universal; it's that late-night driver, solitary thinker, and affirmation of the poem of brokenness. The Sea At Midnight says even destruction may be a piece of art.

2. Partners in Crime - I’ll Never Find Another You

Partners in Crime takes us on a nostalgic journey with I’ll Never Find Another You, a heartfelt homage to timeless love. With a vintage charm that nods to the golden era of classic pop ballads, this track beautifully blends old-school sincerity with modern finesse.

The warmth, and shimmer of instrumentation from the opening chords as you are embracing all warm and snug into the hug of life itself speaks in both directions. This is when vulnerability is at its finest. It is finding the ability to move your very heart with each of these deeply heartfelt, seriously sincere lines straight from the heart.

Lyrics have a majestic and timeless quality, a means of speaking about something irreplaceable by a true bond that has both the ache of longing and the happiness of memory. The lines elevate the song's emotion by giving a word of poetic touch that is very deep.

More than a song, I'll Never Find Another You is a reality experience-a gentle reminder that such beauty is really long-lasting by cherishing and valuing someone who leaves a footprint in the heart. If you are still reminiscing or celebrating the connection found, then this track should stir up whatever emotions it must to get pressed repeat.

3. Anna Thoresen - Lonely

Lonely by Anna Thoresen is as melancholic as it is precious. It is wrapped in a simplicity that dreams, with this song, free from all that and very reflective of its words. It is like flipping through a private diary raw, exposed, and painfully relatable.

The verses are rich in the painting of images of isolation: "I haven't been touched in so long, I forgot how it feels." Thoresen has an extraordinary sense of the nuances of loneliness, from a Sunday afternoon doing nothing to late nights with restless tossing, where "the dark came so quick." The hook had a simple la-la-la refrain against which the weight of the lyrics, so emotive, made it hauntingly hypnotic.

The track is very minimalistic, which allows the soft, almost-whisper vocals by Thoresen to take centre stage. The sparseness of instrumentation mirrors the song's theme of emptiness from loneliness while at the same time maintaining a sense of warmth and intimacy.

Lonely is a poignant consideration of human connection-or the lack thereof-and the quiet ways we survive. Whether it's lighting up a spliff or staring out into the night, Thoresen captures the bittersweetness of finding solace in the small things. This is the kind of song that really gets in your head, singing its la-la-las long after the music is gone.

4. Richard Tyler Epperson - I Love It When It's Cold

Richard Tyler Epperson's I Love It When It's Cold is like a cup of warm coffee on a frosty morning: comforting, thoughtful, and quietly strong. A love letter to the chillier seasons, beneath its surface is an ode to finding the beauty in stillness.

Coupled with Epperson's poignant vocals, there is an acoustically-driven melody blending warmth and melancholy. There is beauty in his ability to create imagery with frost-caked windows and crisp air for winter. Softly layered strings and tasteful percussion do not overpower this intimate track but contribute in depth.

The song is lyrically simple but profound. Epperson interweaves personal introspection moments along with universal sentiments that make you feel like you're sharing a quiet moment with an old friend. That the way he writes about cold days is somehow also a metaphor for embracing a quieter slower chapter of life.

I Love It When It's Cold reminds me of holding back and truly enjoying the life moments nobody seems to acknowledge. Whether bundled up on a snowy evening or needing to get away peacefully, it does the job.

5. Whereafter - Blind Heart

BlindHeart brings the electrifying fusion of raw emotion and the edgy aesthetic of alt rock, forming this sonic journey in vulnerability, strength, and complexity that dances the fine line of pain and healing that the band brings to their listeners.

From the very first note, gritty guitar riffs hook you in, paving the way for a dynamic rhythm section that makes the song an unstoppable driving force. A high point of the vocals is powerful yet wounded; they seem to embody all of the themes this song espouses about heartache and defiance with an intensity that cannot be ignored.

It is lyrically about the struggle to survive through emotional blindness where trust fades away and wounds never heal. The lines go down like anthems of persevering through dark nights. Mixing poetic introspection with gritty rawness provides a uniquely cathartic edge.

What makes BlindHeart stand out is the perfect balance of vulnerability and strength. It is a song that speaks to anyone who has ever been through the turmoil of self-discovery with inner demons. With anthemic energy and emotional depth, Whereafter delivers a song that is hauntingly empowering, great for late-night reflection or full-volume catharsis.

4. Vølve - Le Trois Amies

Vølve's Le Trois Amies is indeed an interesting sound interweaving story and the sounds-a real painter of friendships and shared experience, rich textures, and evocative melodies. It's similarly enchanting and introspective from the unusual blending of folk influences and contemporary production on the track.

The lyrics are sung with a tender yet firm expression as a poetic tale of three friends' bond over time and circumstance. The phrases create a nostalgic touch and deep relationship.

Vølve's ethereal vocals glide effortlessly over the arrangement to bestow both intimacy and grandeur on the song. The gradual building up of dynamics in the composition mirrors the changing journey of the described friendships toward a breathtaking crescendo.

5. Honneus - Slowly

Taken soulfully, and introvertedly, Honneus's Slowly invokes beauty in the taking of life at a measured pace. Indeed, the music was beautifully done in warm tones and heartfelt delivery, somewhat like a gentle reminder of the breath that brings us into existence, reflection, and embracing the presence.

All so poetic and intimate into themes of patience, self-discovery, and passing time. The lines really go deep into personal growth and resilience. Vocally, it's super tender and emotive, pulling one into the reflective atmosphere of the song.

Slowly is acoustic warmth draped in subtle electronic flourishes, for music.

1. Vincent. J. Rigney - Ghosting

   There's Vincent J. Rigney with Ghosting, hauntingly evocative storytelling with much introspection, perfectly capturing abandonment's raw emotional weight. It seems to speak with the voices from the past against the one who lives through now, carried in Rigney's beautiful vocals and even richer instrumentation.

   It captures something of the pain of unanswered questions and that cavernous empty space as somebody dismorphs without a word. Such poignant lines display vulnerability and frustration while still representing the universal experience of staying in the dark. The emotional depth that Rigney's voice lends to it makes the pain palpable enough to draw the listener into his world.

   The instrumentation is perfect for the theme. From the melancholic piano melodies to atmospheric soundscapes, the instrumentation sets the atmosphere with a subtle string arrangement that would seem cinematic in the wrong hands; however, an understated rhythm section keeps things on the ground. All these elements come into the production that with these subtle elements in the song, creates a balance of being both intimate and grand.

   Ghosting is a great exploration of loss, the human need for closure and Vincent J. Rigney can translate personal pain into art-for example in that he could write a song that really feels like it comes from a deep, emotional place.

2. Charlotte Grayson - Get Outta My Yard

Get Outta My Yard is kind of an anthem of the feistiness towards self-empowerment and setting boundaries. It is undeniably sassy with a touch of rock-infused country charm.

3. Jade Moede - Super Sonic Woman

Jade Moede's Super Sonic Woman is an energetic power anthem of confident energy. On its own, this retro-sound track mixed with an electrifying delivery would make it like a blast from the past but with an edgy twist. It's bold, dynamic, and brims with charisma.

But lyrically, the song paints a vivid portrait of Moede as an utterly fearless woman blazing her trail: the lines like create imagery of a larger-than-life figure that is empowering and aspirational. Moede's words perfectly channelled an infectious sense of freedom and self-assurance.

The perfect instrumental setting for the theme. A sonic landscape created here with pulsating beats, the sharpness in guitar riffs, and shiny synths reflecting the character within the titular's energy is rather mesmerizing. Here, Moede's vocals pierce the soundscape like they are riding in command - never missing one swag, to be noticed on every single delivered line.

Super Sonic Woman is nothing but a beautiful display of what individuality looks like and represents. Jade Moede captures, quite possibly at best here, the tone of empowerment of a song this fun and powerful, leaving those listening ready to conquer their world.

4. Cam Alan - Another Love Like Mine

Cam Alan's Another Love Like Mine is a beautiful lamentation, vented in the lines of a love song, speaking about the bittersweet nature of lost love and relationships that can never be replaced. With tender melodies, with emotionally charged voices, the song feels like a diary entry brought to life-a deeply personal yet very relatable experience.

They're full of desire, really just a portrayal of the ache: knowing a love so different, so profound, may never be seen again. The lines are punched deep into emotion; there is the vulnerability in letting someone else understand how that one was, in fact, all too different in every possible sense.

There are some soft acoustic elements and great lush production in this song. Subtly supporting this comfort-providing guitar strum foundation are ethereal strings. The pain and hope of the narrative undoubtedly rest in the voice of Alan, which conveys such sincerity and warmth.

The impact of love seems to be more enduring as represented in Another Love Like Mine. Cam Alan makes the song very intimate and timeless, making it a song to be remembered even after the last note fades into the air.

   It has subtle production, like piano chords, atmospheric strings, and a restrained rhythm section that allows room for vocals and lyrics to take centre stage. The end result is hauntingly beautiful and something that will linger long after its end.

   Call My Name is a poignant reminder of the light that is love and vulnerability, sung with grace and sincerity by Rhys Tranter.

2. John Swipe - Running on A Memory

John Swipe's Running on a Memory is the most heartwarming trip down nostalgia lane aboard poignant lyrics and the haunting melody that remains long after the sunset disappears over a distant horizon. That is such an emotional balance between the wistfulness of hope that makes this song stand out alone in its emotional depth.

This lyrically depicts an image of holding onto fragments of a love in the past. This is cinematic and draws the listeners into a love story, into this place of loss, and the quiet strength it takes to keep moving on.

3. Trickshooter Social Club - Television

Television by Trickshooter Social Club. A scorching, energetic commentary on the way modern life has become obsessed with screens and superficiality, it thrives on raw rock energy joined with cutting lyrics to make for an anthemic call to unplug and reconnect with the real world.

Lyrically, Television is both playful and provocative. Lines like critique the passive consumption of media with a tongue-in-cheek edge. The message is clear yet delivered with enough wit to keep it engaging and fresh.

It is raw and very charismatic; there is a rebellious spirit in it. It is perfect for the theme of the song. It sounds urgent and nearly defiant, almost like commanding the listener to break free from the hypnotic pull of the screen.

Instrumentally, it's a high-energy mix of strong guitar riffs, heavy basslines, and tight percussion. The production leans into the garage-rock aesthetic, giving the song an unpolished, genuine energy that propels its message.

Television is a loud wake-up call with just the right mix of attitude and artistry, showing Trickshooter Social Club how to pair social critique with a killer rock sound.

4. The Disruptors - King of The Push-Away

The King of the Push-Away is a bitter, awake anthem that goes deep into cycles of self-sabotage and emotional distance. This is a sharp, self-aware melody set to biting lyrics and a driving rock edge, showing the mirror to one who pushes love and connection away only to wrestle with the loneliness that comes with it.

The core strength is in the words, bringing this song together and telling a narrative that's at once brutally honest and universally relatable. Then there's this: "Unrealistic expectations and a severe lack of patience." "So, you break another heart, then set the timer back to start" with poetic accuracy evokes a certain cyclical dynamic of avoidance. The sung refrain, "King of the Push-Away," is both taunt and cold truth, sticking home.

The track retains all its power with a sort of no-nonsense energy-a gritty guitar riff, tight rhythm section, and raw and fervent vocals. Carrying a punch, 'King of the Push-Away' scales up the lyrical weight. Production does not drift outside the rock roots of the band maintains the dynamics and gives an unfiltered sound.

The Disruptors come through with a track that is both reflective and impactful. "King of the Push-Away" calls out the fear of vulnerability in an unapologetically direct way, which means it's an anthem for anyone caught in their own emotional tug-of-war.

5. Coma Beach - Bliss (Single Version)

The Bliss of Coma Beach is darkly poetic modern apathy masked in gritty alt-rock instrumentation and razor-sharp lyricism. The song, with its dark energy and the philosophical undertones, creates an experience that remains long after the final note has faded away.

The lyrics are deconstructive, as in "Kill your thoughts to free your mind" and "Paint your world in blissful pink," which is a stinging commentary on the society that prefers blissful denial over bitter truths. The verses paint bleak yet compelling stories of blind conformity and existential stagnation. This heightens the spiral of the ominous "The spiral keeps turning faster and faster / Out of control, out of control."

Instrumentally, Bliss lives on its atmospheric tension. Verses are built upon moody haunting guitar riffs while the choruses explode into cathartic energy that follows through the theme between suppression and release. Raw, emotive vocals tie everything together, amplifying the track's urgent message.

Bliss is an anthem for any person struggling to reconcile the paradoxes of modern life. Coma Beach artfully combines provocative commentary with irresistible rock edge to prove their strengths as both story tellers and musicians.
