Swedish newcomers CRED impressed with dreamy “Chasing” (think OMD) and now go darker with “The Change” (pure Depeche Mode). Hear both on SynthPop Radio.

Italian-American trio Nuovo Testamento blend darkwave with ’80s Italo and ’90s dance on their Trouble EP. Catch “Dream On” and more now on SynthPop Radio.

German act CHROM, now a solo project from Christian Marquis, delivers a beautiful synthpop ballad with “Beyond the Trees.” This stripped-down track about reunion follows last year’s “Paralysed” and “Agony.”

The closing of “Spiralling” bursts with fiery synth riffs, marking a bold new chapter beyond Empathy Test’s sound. Isaac Howlett’s delicate vocals and raw lyrics—like “Depression runs in the men / On my mother’s side”—capture mental health and world anxiety with striking honesty.

“As Alive As You Need Me To Be” is Nine Inch Nails’ first true song in seven years—and their best in decades. With a funky groove and Year Zero vibes, it delivers pummeling electronics perfect for the Tron: Ares score.
