As the second Friday of May rolls in, we are all about embracing those sunset vibes with a trio of easy-listening tracks from Singapore, Dubai, and Indonesia. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, winding down after a long day, or just looking for some feel-good melodies to get lost in, these tracks deliver.
Shyam P & Moon Rocket – ‘Leave The World Behind’ Dubai-based artist Shyam P teams up once again with Moon Rocket for their second collaboration, ‘Leave The World Behind.’ Dropping today, the track is a feel-good dance anthem designed to lift your spirits with infectious melodies, playful piano lines, and groovy baselines. Shyam P’s pop sensibilities shine, as Moon Rocket brings a buoyant, summer-ready production that invites listeners to let go and dance like no one’s watching.
Jonny Ong – ‘Lovely in the Morning’ Singaporean singer-songwriter Jonny Ong, now based in London, blends the sounds of the 60s with futuristic undertones in his 2024 release, ‘Lovely in the Morning.’ It’s a mellow, lovely-in-the-morning track that effortlessly fuses retro grooves with contemporary production. Think hazy sunshine, soft vocals, and a touch of psychedelia – the perfect soundtrack for a laid-back start to your day.
lightcraft – ‘Give You All’ Jakarta’s anthemic-pop trio lightcraft have released their second single of 2025, ‘Give You All.’ The cinematic love song, which officially dropped yesterday on May 14, combines Phil Collins-esque drumbeats with emotional, soaring melodies and guitars. Inspired by nostalgic 90s pop icons like Jon Secada and Rick Astley, the track’s openhearted lyrics tell a story of loving wholeheartedly despite the risk of heartbreak. Produced by John Mullane of Canadian indie-rock band In-Flight Safety and mixed by Li Heng Chan in Perth, this one’s a must-listen for fans of emotionally charged pop anthems.
These three tracks may come from different corners of the globe, but they share a common thread – a knack for capturing the warmth and wistfulness of the golden hour. Whether you’re reminiscing about old flames or soaking up the present moment, these songs provide the perfect soundtrack for it all.
