Lunde’s “Jaded” is a soulful meditation on love and everything unsaid
Lunde’s new single, “Jaded,” is like afternoon sun through sheer curtains, it is something that creeps in. In a world too busy chasing the next big drop, Lunde invites us to slow down, lean in, and feel. Layering blends of soul, R&B, and lo-fi textures, Lunde creates a sound that is at once intimately lived in and refreshingly new. “Jaded” draws you into its meandering orbit from the first few chords. Cool, almost meditative guitar riffs are weaved through the track like a gentle confidant as a warm vocal flood over the listener.
Lunde confesses, reflects, remembers. Every lyric sounds plucked from a page of a private journal, delivered with a vulnerability as raw as it is resonant. Lunde is not one to dress heartbreak, he lets it breathe. He’s heavily influenced by performers such as Frank Ocean, Brent Faiyaz, and SZA, channeling the same understated intensity, every pause and every note heavy with meaning. The restraint is what makes the track so beautiful. The spaces between lyrics are the equal of the words themselves. “Jaded” is the soundtrack to a memory that you don’t quite know how to deal with yet.
It’s a song that plays in the background during a late drive home or a quiet night lying awake, staring up at the ceiling. It is comforting in its sadness, in the sense that someone else understands it, that ache, that numbness, that strange peace that can come after an emotional storm. Lunde is inching toward a space in rap where emotional weight and music can coexist. It’s for all the lost ones, the heartbroken, and for every individual who is simply too quiet inside. “Jaded” is the companion you never knew you needed.

OneSixxty turns the lights low with late-night confession on “Exit 160”
OneSixxty’s latest single, “Exit 160,” is an interesting track that takes listeners to a deep place of longing, despair, and emotional breakdown. From the very beginning, the track sets a sad mood, inviting listeners to enter a nighttime world where beauty and fragility come together to make a touching experience.
“Exit 160” has a sound that makes you feel like you’re in a movie and is great at building tension. The sound space is thick and hypnotic, which makes it feel like the song is pulling you in. Each layer has been carefully placed to heighten the song’s feelings of loneliness and conflict. This makes the listening experience both interesting and scary, in the best way possible.
The track is mostly about admitting that you’re alone and hurting yourself. Underneath the provocative surface is a stark picture of emotional isolation, where excess serves as a way to cope, and connection seems short-lived. OneSixxty captures this duality with painful honesty, giving listeners a raw look at the weak spots that people often hide from the world. The result is a work that feels very personal but is still something that everyone can relate to.
“Exit 160” is interesting because it has a sad tone and can turn a simple late-night chat into a powerful story about addiction and weakness. The song’s deep emotional meaning makes each beat stronger, and the last note lingers long after it ends.
This release proves that OneSixxty can tell a great story while also making music that sets the mood. “Exit 160” isn’t just a song, it’s a haunting look at the darker parts of being human. It should be on every nighttime playlist, and it makes a strong statement about art’s purpose.

MONEY MIKE SA reflects on life in latest release “Memories”
MONEY MIKE SA’s new single “Memories” takes listeners on a personal and broad journey of self-discovery. The track skillfully combines emotional trap elements with lyrics that prompt reflection on the artist’s growth and the experiences that have shaped him.
The first beat of Memories puts you in a reflective mood right away. The atmospheric production makes it clear and real that exposure is part of life. Money Mike SA’s delivery moves through this world with skill, mixing melodic rhythm with honest, thoughtful storytelling. It echoes, not because it’s loud, but because it’s real.
What makes Memories different is that it can be very personal and also very easy to relate to. You can feel the strength of the emotions without being told what they are. You should listen to this song more than once because each time you do, it gets more complicated.
MONEY MIKE SA’s art shows a level of sophistication that goes beyond that. Memories show that he is an artist who isn’t afraid to show his human side. He turns nostalgia and self-reflection into a touching but real experience. The song reminds us that growing up is hard, emotional, and worth looking into. It also shows that music can help us show parts of ourselves that we don’t usually show.
