Jeff Satur – “ที่ชอบที่ชอบ (Grief Eaters)”

Thai multi-hyphenate Jeff Satur chases after heartbreak in “ที่ชอบที่ชอบ (Grief Eaters),” a sweet, sweeping ballad track. In his first 2026 release, Satur longs to reunite with a lost love, even though it means his heartbreak will never heal. The track blossoms from slow piano to a full orchestral sound, complete with strings and choral vocals for a movie score-esque feel. Satur himself shines with his clear, full-bodied voice. “Let hurt until I almost die / Let the wound never heal,” he sings sorrowfully. “Because it is only in sadness / That we will meet again.”

Not just a singer-songwriter, Satur flexes his acting chops in the music video. Aching to make his way back to his lover, Satur finds himself in various realities with her. From fighting in a boxing ring to living in a vampire mansion, each world is a figment of real life — where loss has already separated them. “ที่ชอบที่ชอบ (Grief Eaters)” is Satur’s first release since signing with Universal Music Southeast Asia in October. On the same day, he announced that his next album is slated for 2027’s Q2, with a world tour to follow. If there’s ever a time to tap into Jeff Satur’s magical world, “ที่ชอบที่ชอบ (Grief Eaters)” is the perfect place to start!

chandol – “Check Up”

“Check Up,” from singer-songwriter chandol’s surprise EP, and uh, hits all the marks of an alternative indie anthem. Charley Yang, formerly known as BoyWithUke, debuted as chandol earlier this year with his album, Mercurial. He launched a new sound built on indie pop and rock genres. Not one to linger in one place for long, chandol branched into a more alternative sound with his latest project, and uh. “Check Up” is a “kaleidoscope of neurotic sound effects,” according to a press release. Chandol opens the song with an acoustic guitar melody and raw, relatable lyrics that evoke a strange sense of melancholy. 

“We could go way, way back to the middle / Back when I was littlе, all I had was— / Pressure pushing on me likе a pedal,” he ponders in the first verse. Despite the upbeat drumbeat, it conjures the image of wandering listlessly through chandol’s memories alongside the artist. He spends the bridge repeating the phrase, “I think about it sometimes,” before the song takes a sharp turn into a drum’n’bass-style final chorus and outro. It feels like the wake-up call at the end of an evening spent spiraling through memories. Those searching for the right track to get lost in this autumn will find solace in chandol’s dreamy and eclectic “Check Up.”

Emei – “Regularly Scheduled Program”

Alternative music is all about experimenting with different forms of grit, attitude, and kookiness. That’s why Emei’s interpretation of it in “Regularly Scheduled Program” — in all of its zany, vaudevillian, carnaval-esque glory — makes sense. It especially makes sense as the successor of the theatrical “Night at the Opera,” the title track of her last EP. Alongside previously released single “Molly,” her new song is part of the five-track collection Intermission.

The first couple seconds of “Regularly Scheduled Program” lulls you into a dainty marionette show. Then it explodes into a distorted, granular chorus that feels more knife thrower than carousel ride. This matches the lyrics, which go from clear, sunny skies to a gut-punching awakening that comes with the resurfacing memories of a past relationship: the regularly scheduled program that seems to haunt the mind the same way a circus jingle becomes an earworm for God knows how long.

CHANMINA – “History”

With October coming to an end, CHANMINA takes a moment for those who have suffered from heartbreak and bittersweet memories. Shifting the tone from her previous release, “LEGEND,” “History” is a pop-rock track reminiscent of Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend” era and early 2000s breakup anthems. CHANMINA reflects on the end of a situationship, a connection that didn’t end on a happy note, singing, “You were a part of me, but now we’re history.” Filled with feelings of lament and regret, the track highlights CHANMINA’s powerful vocals while staying true to her signature rock influences.

As she wraps up her Tokyo Dome concert run, CHANMINA is marking another career milestone with the release of her upcoming full-length album, LEGEND. Set for release on November 11, the album is expected to bring together her artistic evolution, reflecting on the memories, experiences, and challenges that have shaped her career. Now embracing motherhood alongside her ever-growing artistry, CHANMINA welcomes this new era with an open mind, ready for growth and whatever the future holds.

Aya Samra, JUGGLERZ – “Ya Mami”

Palestinian singer-songwriter Aya Samra brings soap opera soundtrack realness in her latest release, “Ya Mami.” Reflecting Spanish and Arabic influences, the track’s steady acoustic guitar and occasional maracas complement Aya’s vocals, bringing a more intimate and alluring tone to the song. Produced by German duo JUGGLERZ, the track captures the feeling of experiencing firsts in a relationship, discovering new emotions, and stepping into the uncertainty of something new. Ultimately, “Ya Mami” feels like a love letter to those experiences.

Released as part of her film debut, “Ya Mami” will also be featured on the soundtrack of Fatih Akin’s film, Geister (Ghost Song), which is scheduled for release in Germany on November 5. Marking a step in a new direction for her career, Aya is expanding her artistry beyond music, drawing in not only new listeners but also those who appreciate the magic of cinema.

Yves – “Adam”

Yves’s last EP, NAIL, felt like a reset button that marked the final evolution of her artistry. It’s where she bloomed as a songwriter and conceptual artist, slipping into a grittily stylized version of her musical persona. With the release of singles “Hysteric” and “Adam” ahead of her second EP of the year, Cute & Anxiety, that character seems to crystallize further.

While “Hysteric” reheats NAIL’s nachos, “Adam” offers a newer, glossier side to Yves’s heartbroken self. This mythical man, who might as well be just any and every man she should ever cross paths with, always brings her back to square one. The ambient house-inflected production, especially the instrumental breaks where you can fully appreciate the layered synths, might almost distract from the emotion of her lyrics. Her password is still the day she met him, an indulgent treat carries the memories of her heartbreak, and to make things worse, this is all happening while she’s seeing someone else.
