no na – “honk!”
Feeling drained from your daily commute? No na are reclaiming the fun in public transport with “honk!” Using the popular Indonesian “angkot” minivans as iconography, “honk!” urges listeners to celebrate and enjoy even the most overlooked places. Boldly sampling bus horns in their instrumental, “honk!” also revives the Om Telolet Om meme that swept Indonesia and DJs worldwide over a decade ago. Take a cue from no na, and “get on the angkot” as you dance along to the energetic beat.
The quartet are seen standing roadside at the start of the music video, quickly followed by crowds scrambling to fill seats on various vehicles. No na are the ones setting the pace and getting people to listen with their confidence. “Get in the taxi,” they instruct, “Never pass me, ready, set, go!” No matter at what rate the vehicles travel, the no na members are always ready to groove to the music. In the final shot, no na are seen dancing with the angkot passengers, inviting viewers to join along. If “honk!” got your attention, keep an eye out for no na’s debut studio album, island girl, releasing September 17.
BE:FIRST, Flo Milli, ATL Jacob – “BRUCE WAYNE”
Hip-hop boy group BE:FIRST are ready to share Japanese excellence on the global front with their latest release, “BRUCE WAYNE.” Amidst celebrating their historic fifth anniversary as a team, BE:FIRST have been gearing up for more promotional activities in the West. “BRUCE WAYNE” is emblematic of the team’s swagger and confidence as they venture into the Western market. The hard-hitting hip-hop track is a cross-cultural collaboration with rap sensation Flo Milli and famed producer ATL Jacob.
“As a producer, I love being put in environments that are unfamiliar. It forces you to listen differently, create differently, and ultimately make something that feels fresh and genuine,” ATL Jacob said about the collaboration in a press release. “BRUCE WAYNE” is a complete 180 from their refreshing release earlier this summer, “Missing,” but it is a stellar showcase of their versatility. The song’s gritty Atlanta beat lays the foundation for BE:FIRST and Flo Milli’s confident verses to take center stage. “BRUCE WAYNE” is just the beginning of an exciting new era as their first international EP, WATCH OUT, is set to release on September 18.
george, MINNIE – “if i’m with you”
Korean singer-songwriter george announces his upcoming EP, solsol~ condo, with the pre-release single, “if i’m with you.” The contemporary singer united with Thai singer and i-dle member MINNIE for the low-tempo track. “If i’m with you” brings the best of a sweet summer love to life through george and MINNIE’s soft vocals and laid-back instrumental. As the opening track, the duet reflects the core message of the upcoming EP: to value who you’re with more than where you are.
The accompanying music video is straight out of a 2000s coming-of-age romance film. It follows a young couple as they make the most of their time together in the Japanese coastal countryside, perfectly capturing the tone of the song. Even with no dialogue, it carries a bittersweet note of each fleeting moment. If you’re looking for the soundtrack of those sweet, slow summer afternoons with the ones you love, “if i’m with you” is the perfect track to keep on rotation.
Mark Tuan – “ALONE”
Mark Tuan contemplates loneliness, escapism, and more in “ALONE,” his first release of the year. The mid-tempo, smooth R&B track marks a “significant shift” in Tuan’s sound. Over a funky bassline and minimal percussion, Tuan runs around in circles in his mind. “So I rather be with you than be alone tonight,” he admits in the chorus. “I’m two drinks in with too much on my mind.” The atmospheric sound of the track pairs with the vulnerable lyrics to create an addicting and relatable track.
“Alone” is Tuan’s first release since his Silhouette EP from November 2025. He has spent the last five years releasing singles, EPs, and a full-length album, alongside his work as a member of K-pop group GOT7. He honed his alternative pop sound over the years before dipping into a new genre with “Alone.” Whether you’re on a late-night drive or just stuck in your head, Mark Tuan gets it.
Nora Fatehi, MAI3Z, Sanjoy – “Slay To The Rhythm”
Rather than limit herself to one genre, Nora Fatehi is ready to “Slay To The Rhythm.” Her newest collaboration with producer Sanjoy and artist MA3IZ celebrates the freedom of music. Riding on the experience of opening the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Canada, Nora Fatehi is ready to show the world the power of song. Her upcoming EP, Play, draws on themes of transcending cultural and language barriers through music. Though she has made her presence known with Bollywood hits such as “O Saki Saki” and “Dilbar,” Nora Fatehi is eager to show the world more sides of Indian pop.
Synchronized group dance sequences in the music video may be a hallmark of Bollywood films, but Nora Fatehi isn’t afraid to break out of the genre’s shell. As an offhanded comment heard in the intro tells her to “stick to the Bollywood hits,” Nora Fatehi walks off with a confident stride. She invites listeners to let go and dance along to the rhythm. Her carefree attitude is emphasized by MA3IZ, who sings, “Neither a plane nor the wind can take me away / Only a melody can carry me on a journey.” Dance and music are essential to enjoy life, as it unites Nora Fatehi and the community of dancers around her. The video ends highlighting each individual surrounded by a dance ring, showing the importance of community. While you’re out enjoying the remnants of summer, don’t forget to “Slay To The Rhythm.”

Maki feat. James Reid – “luck”
Iconic Pinoy musicians Maki and James Reid join forces for the sweet and lighthearted love song, “luck.” The two singers convey their sincerity for the one they love, encouraging them to take a chance and bet on their love. Rooted in city-pop influences, “luck” pairs plucked guitar melodies with chiming ‘80s synths, keeping the track light and airy. “If loving was a game / Know that I would win for you,” the duo promises. “And you could push your luck.” Their voices blend in harmony throughout the chorus and verses, making this track the perfect duet.
They dial up the silliness in the music video, playing out a low-stakes rivalry in the pink-and-green-hued Clover Company. Tom-and-Jerry-style hijinks ensue as the two compete for employee of the month. Between shots of fighting over documents and phone calls, Maki and Reid serenade the listener from cluttered ‘90s computer screens. Maki said in an Instagram post that much more is coming in August, promising this is just the beginning of our luck!

CUBE – “EGO DEATH”
CUBE is finding his way out of the shadows with “EGO DEATH.” Starting off strong with a symphony of distorted synth and vocals. The self-produced track displays heavy EDM influence in the first half, with added synth and layered harmonies. CUBE continues to build on the track with electronic scales before adding in a beat drop with drums. Amid the instrumental that instantly captivates listeners with its layered elements, CUBE reveals his own inner battles. Just as the distortion almost drowns out CUBE’s vocals, the lyrics reflect his own sense of disorientation, “Road got darker tryna find the way home / Bloodshot eyes can’t even see where I walk.” As the title references, CUBE has lost his sense of self. He reflects on what led up to this hardship, coming to his own solitude. “Heavy heart I carry all on my own,” he sings, “Lost inside I spent for far too long.” Though he has been hurt, CUBE is ready for change. For all those hidden growing pains, you’ll find yourself feeling heard in “EGO DEATH.”
INJI – “BRIGHT IDEAS”
INJI brings party music to life in electric new single “BRIGHT IDEAS.” The Turkish-born, Philadelphia-based singer opens the track with an acoustic draft featuring raw vocals and lightly strummed guitar. Quickly, INJI brings in the synth and bass to build up to the actual track. “BRIGHT IDEAS” is reminiscent of the alternative hip hop and electronic pop sounds of the late 2000s. INJI cleverly uses the production and vocal tracks to create a soundscape of dancing right next to the speakers at the club.
“BRIGHT IDEAS” tells the time-worn story of a push-and-pull relationship — making a game out of a relationship only to take them back every time. “If I wanted to / You know what I could do?” INJI teases in the pre-chorus. “Fall in and out of love with you.” It’s a party track for every listener caught in the same cat-and-mouse dynamic with somebody. INJI posted on Instagram the day “BRIGHT IDEAS” came out to show her excitement. “Truly my favorite song I’ve ever made,” she said in the caption. “I’m so so so proud of her and I hope you love it as much as I do.” Listeners keen for a new club banger can look no further than INJI’s latest drop.
JustmineNika – “Behind The Smile”
Smiles aren’t always as happy as they seem as Thai duo JustmineNika shows what’s truly “Behind The Smile.” A jazz R&B tune, the duo lament over a past romance. Despite what was agreed to be an amicable breakup, the two continue to yearn for their former lovers. Their ex has moved on and pursued another relationship, but JustmineNika continue to hide their true feelings. “Maybe I look just the same like nothing’s changed,” they sing, “When we happen to meet I still smile as just a friend.” The line in their relationship is clear, yet they can’t help but long for the past anyway.
Despite their smiling faces, the truth is clear in their body language and in their hands. Justmine and Nika play tug-of-war with a long piece of cloth in the music video, representing their struggle with their inner feelings. “I have to play it like I barely miss you at all / Keeping every truth inside,” they admit, “‘Cause I don’t want your empathy when I fall.” Forced to be nonchalant and platonic, the duo shed their tears in private. No longer able to be labeled as lovers, the proximity continues to cause their forced smiles.
Other tracks in this week’s Sunday Spin playlist include “G.O.A.T” by DOLLA, SB19’s “LAWLESS,” “Jemul” by past self, and H3RIZON’s “Future Self.” Listen to everything mentioned and more, curated by Team EnVi only for you on Spotify.
