RFTW: Melanie Martinez, Sebastien Tellier, Maria Arnal…

Today, January 30, the new albums are scarce, although interesting, since we receive new releases by Sébastien Tellier in a synth-pop key or by Joyce Manor in an indie style, as well as new works by Dani Dicostas, Yumi Zouma, Joaquina or Shackleton.

Maria Arnal continues to present her album and her new single opens the playlist “Ready for the Weekend”, now available on Apple Music. We also highlight the releases – in single form – of Parquesvr, MEEK, María Escarmiento or those L Kan that appeal to Los Javis.

Among the artists who have announced a new album we have to talk about Melanie Martinez, who has already launched the promotion of ‘HADES’ with a first preview, as well as the great Thundercat, as well as Miss Grit (in the photo) or Tom Misch, in a more underground area.

Also Camellos, Lewis OfMan, Tokischa, Ferran Palau, RATA, Baby Queen or Christine and the Queens release new music today. Among the names that can give something to talk about during 2026 are Los Buenos Valedores, Magalí Sare or NAZZ.

As always, we cannot stop commenting on the curiosities of the day, and here it is impossible not to mention the return of A*Teens or the umpteenth song dedicated to ‘Barcelona’, in this case signed by Paula Koops.
