Music has this weird way of cutting through the noise in our heads. At other times it feels like a backstop, pulling out feelings that we didn't realize were buried way down at the bottom of the psyche. That’s the vibe I get from these tracks—raw, unapologetic, and incredibly human. They're not just songs, they're micro-moments that resemble late-night chat that can be shared only with a select few people who understand you.

Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido by Karol G is not just a song, but a soft call to the past. Karol G wraps every word in this mix of longing and regret that feels so real, it’s almost haunting. You hear it, and you are instantly thrust back into all those "what if" experiences that you have ever had. It’s not loud or angry—it doesn’t need to be. It’s the kind of song that lets you sit with your thoughts, almost like she’s giving you permission to mourn something that never even started. The beat draws you in, monotone but bloody, like every movement whispered the weight of unspoken matter. And Karol’s voice? It is both powerful and delicate, it's as if she's sharing hers but also in a way, hers.

Then there’s Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter—a whole different mood. This one’s got attitude written all over it, and it feels like a sharp inhale before you take on the world. Sabrina's delivery is so effortless yet there's a razor's edge through it. The song doesn’t beg for attention; it commands it. The beats are like caffeine shots, and that is pretty fitting given a track title of Espresso. It's all sleek and modern, but there's also a sense of warmth underneath it all. It's not only about being confident, but it's about owning your story, your imperfections and your fire. It's that kind of song that makes you feel as if you should stand up taller for doing it unapologetically.

And then comes 2 hands by Tate McRae—something entirely intimate. Tate's voice is like listening to someone's diary but the diary is a song. It's not just singing for her, it is all exposed, unprotected, and raw. It's like this song is for when you're, like, sitting by yourself, over and over in your head, thinking about all the little things. The stripped-down sound makes it even more personal, as if Tate’s right there, speaking only to you. There is a tug of war in her delivery, a push and pull between the hopeful and the heartbreaking, which leaves you feeling every tone. It’s soft, but it’s not weak—it’s the kind of softness that comes from strength, the kind that says, "This hurts, but I’ll be okay.".

What ties these three tracks together is their authenticity. They aren’t polished in a way that feels distant—they’re raw, relatable, and deeply human. Karol G makes us remember the lost opportunities that we still cannot completely forget. Sabrina carpenter gives us the courage to walk up and claim all parts of who we are. And Tate McRae embodies the meditative space of silence when all is left with is our own mind.

These songs feel less like performances and more like conversations, moments where the artists aren’t trying to impress—they’re just sharing a piece of themselves. That’s what makes them hit so hard. You don’t just hear them; you feel them. Through Karol's wistful melancholy, Sabrina's kinetic zest, or Tate's innocent fragility, there's a commonality to the emotions they call out.

So, if you’re in the mood to feel—really feel—plug in and hit play. These songs will find you, be you spinning around in your room, looking out the window on a grey day, or just sitting in silence trying to wrap your head around it. They not only tell you to listen but tell you to connect. And isn’t that what music is supposed to do?
