3. Seoul City by Jennie

What a song. Seriously, just sit back and imagine yourself in Seoul, South Korea. All the vibes and haps, folks. Just incredible.

2. Lovin' You by Richard Ashcroft

Richard Ashcroft (aka god's fist) is back with a new record that has this insanely good track on it. It makes me want to love everyone. 

1. Can't Shake This Dream by Two Harbors

The best track of 2025 is Can't Shake This Dream by Two Harbors. It's the title track from their album released this year. Many things impress me about this song...the sound, of course, the female back up vocal that reminds one of some "Gimme Shelter" action, and the groove is most honest. Great rolling beats of love!

But the part of the song that is the best is how positive it is. The lads from Two Harbors are some of the kindest people I know who stick to their Oasis style of music no matter what. It's a really awesome thing to see that level of commitment in a band. 

And their commitment is to having a kind, positive world where anyone can do anything.
