ZippOОстаток слов (The Rest of the Words)Остаток слов walks the city by touch with the last of its words: guilt held in on the turns, reality traded for dreams, and an invitation — sit, smoke, talk — that may be the only real thing left.
Troye SivanCanada DryCanada Dry is a heat-wave fantasy: the whole block called into the street, jealousy of another man's sweat, and a thirst the narrator proposes to drink down to the last drop.

DoechiiBOMBSBOMBS is Doechii's coronation ledger: bills paid, trends set, labels declined, and a demand — half joke, half check — that the listener confirm they know what she means.
Cameron WinterIt All Fell in the River (Live at Carnegie Hall)It All Fell in the River is about grief arriving late: everything the narrator carried has sunk like little bells, and only now — remembering, red — does he finally ooh.
BedryCentipedeCentipede is a heart with two hundred occupants and no room for one: Bedry's narrator crawls above attachment, smoking himself to sleep on the way to the moon.
UnderworldCowgirlCowgirl is a chant from inside erasure: invisible, erased, waiting for a call, the voice keeps repeating itself until repetition becomes a form of flight — hurting no one, giving everything.
