Yann Muller and Benjamin Bocconi land "Promises".
Pete Christianson
Crisp hats, clean transitions, and a vocal line.
The groove lands fast.
The track arrives sounding bigger than the afternoon around it.
The hook lands fast, and the title alone does half the marketing work.
Fresh off the dock and already in your head.
The production feels polished but not sterile: bass lines move.
My favorite Hip-Hop songs from the past year.
Paid-only
Mac Miller sounds devastatingly current on “Good News,” a track.
Glassy synths shimmer over a soft, elastic groove.
Vocals sit right up front and slightly rough around the edges.
The groove feels immediate and almost smug in the best way.
Some songs fit a laptop glow; this one fits an open window.
Vocal layers drift in and out like steam off a fresh mug.
Dempsey hope turns "on my mind" into the kind of late-night confession.
Warm bass, clipped drums, and glossy hooks keep the groove clean.
Leave plenty of room for each voice to breathe.
The track lands instantly: breezy and confident.
Jontha Links turns Let Her Know into the kind of track.
