3 Powerful Tracks That’ll Shake Your Soul and Soothe Your Skin

Honk Magazine Default

Some tracks hit differently, but for the feelings they harness. Our three featured songs are magically memorable for their heart, honesty, and vibe this week. Whether you’re chasing the sun, wandering in the haze, or recovering from heartbreak, these songs say a lot. Now, let’s get into this week’s top picks.

Sundrift Sky – “Sunshine on Your Skin”

If a sunset could sing, it would sound like this. “Sunshine on Your Skin” by Sundrift Sky is a warm, golden dream between an ocean breeze and a lover’s whisper. With its laid-back dubstep undercurrents and airy electronic textures, the track embodies the euphoric daze of summer romance. The vocals are gentle and honeyed, enveloping you like a longtime friend’s arms, while lyrics sketch a path of liberation, lovemaking, and sundrenched scenes. What gives this song real shimmer is its emotional weight, but that deep connection where everything else is drowned out. Imagine this on a late-night drive up the coast or a rooftop sunset sesh.

Noah Zayden – “XANAXFLOW”

Noah Zayden is a moodscapes maker. On “XANAXFLOW,” he harnesses the soft underbelly of emotional detachment with alarming precision. The beat floats like smoke in a darkened room, while Noah’s lyrics slice through the haze to wrestle with anxiety, isolation, and the hushed numbness that can feel like peace. There’s a sorrowful beauty in this: a slow drift into oblivion wrapped in a soft melody that feels seductive. The outro, quiet as it is, stings reality has not lagged far behind, nor pain. This is an introspective trap at its best, bare-boned, vulnerable, honest in ways that hurt.

Noah Zayden – “DIOR AND XANS”

Brace yourself. “DIOR AND XANS” is raw, unfiltered, and bleeding dark emotion. Zayden lays bare his soul over a murky, brooding beat that throbs like a wounded heart. His bars “Xans on the floor, with my heart torn Fuck love, bitch, now I’m reborn” reverberate with pain and defiance. It is not simply a song but a survival note written during the witching hours. He straddles glamor and self-destruction, flex and vulnerability. There’s rage here, but there’s also rebirth and within the chaos, Zayden finds clarity.” Not any more beautiful, just more real. And at times, that’s the most powerful kind of art of all.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
