This free-flowing work of musical art opens on a song that was notably entirely shot on the new iPhone 15 Pro, Olivia Rodrigo​​​’s rangy alt-pop yearn within the full blooded Get Him Back! and the old school vibe and sound of Paul Russell​ with Lil Boo Thang, and they are followed by the early 2000s pop styling within Tate McRae’s Greedy, another prime example of the thin line between crazy and genius in Doja Cat’s Agora Hills, the relaxed summer vibes of Water from Tyla​​​​, and then come the absolute banger that I myself only learnt about from Tik Tok in JID featuring 21 Savage and Baby Tate on ​Surround Sound, a track that makes the sky slowly become brighter when I hear it, Kenya Grace’s Strangers, and then we get given the absolute bop cut from Charli XCX & Sam Smith​​’s In the City.

Up next is Sabrina Carpenter​​​’s Feather, a pop-rock song that openly talks about the relief and freedom that comes from ending a toxic and exhausting relationship and then Zara Larsson & David Guetta’s​ harmonious On My Love, and they are in turn backed by the MTV Awards-revealed brilliance of *NSYNC & Justin Timberlake with ​Better Place (From Trolls Band Together), the relatable Yes I’m A Mess from AJR, an emotional musical struggle brought forth within Billie Eilish’s ​​​What Was I Made For? (From The Motion Picture “Barbie”), the top music rounding out on the hook friendly Diplo, Jessie Murph & Polo G​ track Heartbroken, the remarkable, raw, gritty, bluesy sound of Teddy Swims​on Lose Control, the countrified R&B-imbibed Thinkin’ Bout Me by Morgan Wallen​and then comes the phenomenally impassioned Stick Season from Noah Kahan.
