Spring is officially here, and with the new season upon us comes growth and rebirth. Just like many partake in spring cleaning within their homes, our 7 Pop songs feature this month is here to refresh your playlist. We’re not saying ‘out with the old, in with the new,’ we’re merely suggesting adding some new discovery moments to your rotation.

Bring in some bright new pop from up and comers like ELIO or start heating up for summer with new music from mainstays like Kali Uchis. 

These are the seven Pop songs you need to hear this April.

1 CHARGER - ELIO Ft. Charli XCX

Need a boost as we enter into the hottest of hot girl summers yet? ELIO’s “CHARGER” is pure pop and possesses an electrifying sensation that should leave you feeling 100%. Plus, the song boasts a feature from Charli XCX. The track serves as the lead single off ELIO’s newest EP, Can You Hear Me Now? 

2 serotonin - girl in red

With her debut album dropping this month, get a taste of what girl in red has to offer with her newest single, “serotonin.” With production assists from FINNEAS, the new alt-pop track feels larger than life and is leaving us craving more from the Norwegian singer-songwriter.

3 telepatía - Kali Uchis

If there is one thing Kali Uchis is going to do it's deliver a sultry R&B meets pop moment. On “telepatía,” the single off her latest album Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios), Uchis oscillates between singing in Spanish and English to deliver an intimate ballad about mind reading.

4 On The Ground - ROSÉ

BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ launched her solo career in 2021 and needless to say, it’s been explosive and her most recent single “On The Ground” is no exception. While the artist tells us that, everything she needs is “on the ground” her level of success has been stratospheric thus far. The New Zealand native delivers a powerful ballad to remind us “I’m never coming down.”

5 Marigold – Jelani Aryeh

Jelani Aryeh who was dubbed “destined for greatness” by Onestowatch.com has gone above and beyond “greatness” with his newest single “Marigold.” The fresh new, sun-drenched track successfully combines the sounds of classic Pop with delicate hints of indie-soul to give the listener what feels like a golden moment in West Coast Pop.

6 Look – Doss

We’re trying to dance our entire summer away, and with festivals and live shows due to return at any moment, Doss’ latest track, “Look,” is making us eager to get back on the dance floor. The electronic diddy is mesmerizing and infectious. In a recent statement about the song the producer shared, “I was thinking about the spaces the song would be played in. Dancing in slow motion, lights flickering, getting lost in the sound. Whatever happened before is a blur and whatever will happen after isn’t clear yet.” Her upcoming EP, 4 New Hit Songs, arrives May 7.

7 Pop It – Bankroll Freddie ft. Megan Thee Stallion

Well, if you snag a feature from Megan Thee Stallion then of course we’re going to be all over it. Arkansas native, Bankroll Freddie teamed up with the H-Town hottie for the new song, which comes off his latest album Big Bank. “Pop It” is a banger, to say the least.
