If you enjoy Luwidakid's picks, be sure to check out 'True Colors' at the end of the article.

1. KiD CuDI - Soundtrack 2 My Life

I’ve even been listening to this song every year since it came out. Love how Cudi simply tells his life story in such a smooth way. That distorted electric guitar that plays throughout is something that rings in my ear constantly. Every word and every line is delivered clearly and paints a vivid picture. There are alot of good cudi songs but this is definitely the number one in my book. 

2. Bob Marley - Sun Is Shining 

This song truly has the power to change my mood, it sounds like sunshine. Brings back so many good memories whenever I listen. This song is just a reminder that life is beautiful. On a sunny day, play this and walk around or take a ride. 

3. Hurricane Wisdom - Don’t Care 

This is so far my favorite song of 2025. I just think it’s beautiful from the way it’s delivered, the lyrics and the feeling. Hurricane’s voice floats on the beat effortlessly with a very simple yet creative hook. Maybe also because we live in world now with millions of opinions everyday and I feel like I DONT CARE a lot. This song is the definition of “sometimes less is more”. I’ve had it in repeat since it released 

4. Tame Impala - Borderline 

5. Dominick Fike - Vampire 

Discovered his music when he dropped 3 nights but I didn’t really listen till 2023. I always go back to this song. I love funky groovy music like this and this gotta be one of the coolest joints I’ve heard from a pop artist. “Are we dead is this really red wine….” To me is one of the most amazing pre hook ever. The electric guitar in this is super dope too
