With Midnight Sun, Zara Larsson steps fully into her power, offering a record that radiates vulnerability, confidence, and the contradictions of being human. At 27, she balances reflection with playfulness, ambition with uncertainty, wrapping it all into a pop landscape that feels both intimate and euphoric.

Kid Cudi’s legacy extends to the 2010s, when his hit track “Day n’ Night” first premiered in 2009 (we all remember the DirecTV commercial that used the song on the Help channel). Since then, Kid Cudi has become a household name, releasing music and starring in films like X and Happy Gilmore 2.

SoundCheck recently caught up with Grammy-nominated artist, BJRNCK to discuss her highly-anticipated new album, due later this year. After stepping away for a much-needed creative reset, she’s returning with a project that’s both deeply personal and universal, infused with honesty and soul.  

Louis Knight is a singer/songwriter that leaves you with something to carry. British-born and Philly-raised, he first caught attention on American Idol, but it’s the music that came after that’s carved out his place. His songs feel like late-night conversations, the ones you remember long after the lights go out.

Ed Sheeran’s Play is the first in his new “media control” series (Play, Pause, Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop), and it’s the most sonically adventurous he’s been in years. Recorded partly in Goa, the album fuses Ed’s classic singer-songwriter core with Indian percussion, Punjabi and Persian influences, and a heavy dose of dance-floor energy.

On September 12, 2025, Quinn XCII turned the Michigan Lottery Amphitheater into a hometown celebration, with a crowd that felt less like strangers and more like family invited to the biggest backyard party in Sterling Heights.

Hilary Duff has officially signed with Atlantic Records, marking her first major label deal in a decade. The announcement comes with the promise of a docuseries directed by The Eras Tour’s Sam Wrench, which will document her creative rebirth. After nearly ten years of musical silence, she’s stepping back into the spotlight with a rollout designed to surprise rather than over-explain.

Detroit got a full dose of dream-pop intensity when Phantogram brought their tour to The Fillmore on Sunday night. The ornate theater became a swirling storm of bass, synths, and flashing lights, and by the end of the night, it felt less like a concert and more like being pulled into the band’s own universe.

From bedroom-pop heartbreak to bold confessionals, Conan Gray proves he’s grown into one of pop’s most daring storytellers.
