Flea – "A Plea"

Flea returns to his first musical love with “A Plea,” a radiant preview of his upcoming 2026 trumpet-forward album for Nonesuch. Joined by a dream team of modern L.A. jazz shapeshifters (Jeff Parker, Anna Butterss, Deantoni Parks and more), he threads bass, trumpet, and vocals into a warm, searching call to “build a bridge” in divisive times. 

Gelli Haha – "Spit"

Gelli Haha, our KCRW 2025 Breakthrough Artist of the Year, builds pop songs like a fun house, twisting familiar shapes into something stranger and more alive. "Spit" runs on a tight lyrical rule and a high-voltage beat. It's surreal alt-pop for the dancefloor and the weird little theater in your head, somewhere between Studio 54 and a soft-focus sci-fi fever dream.

Yukimi – "Get Over It"

Best known as the voice of Little Dragon, Yukimi’s solo work keeps opening into softer, more intimate terrain. On this EP highlight, she leans into a floating mix of soul, jazz, and electronic pop, co-written with Saya Grey. On “Get It Over,” Yukimi drifts through the fog of being stuck inside your own mind, where even replying to the world feels impossible. 

elsas – "IN MY WOMB"

London-based elsas, whose work blends her Mediterranean background with UK alternative and experimental pop, is stepping into a more distilled, mature chapter.

“IN MY WOMB” comes from new EP APORIAMOR, which she largely self-produced over several years while touring and writing in different places. The track reflects the EP’s focus on processing heartbreak and rebuilding self-worth.

Los Sara Fontán – "Creer Fuerte"

Catalan duo Los Sara Fontán make music that feels designed for the stage: physical, punk-spirited, and always shifting. On "Creer Fuerte," violinist Sara Fontán and Edi Pou fuse contemporary classical lines with polyrhythms and electronics, challenging the idea of a fixed beat.
