Current Tunes doesn't always answer the question "what's playing now?". This week, in a January that's usually slow for new releases, we're focusing on another, quieter question: what recent songs are worth listening to without rushing?
Today's playlist features music that doesn't try to impose itself or compete for immediate attention. It comes from different places, with different tempos, and prefers to linger rather than rush by. It doesn't shout "new," but it works with depth, offering moments that invite attentive listening and patience.
There's no single thread connecting them, but there is a clear intention: to explore contemporary music without algorithms, without anxiety, and without the pressure to stay current. These are songs that accompany you, that seep in slowly, and that, with luck, linger a little longer than expected. Each track has its own rhythm, its own breath, and reminds us that recent music doesn't always need to be urgent to be valuable.
In a month like January, when new music seems to be dormant, this list becomes a small revelation. It hints at what 2026 might offer, through songs that deserve to be listened to calmly, without haste, without distractions, simply enjoying the moment they give us.

Will you find your new favorite song?
Today we propose something simple and risky at the same time.
Among the 40 new songs on this current collection of tunes, there's at least one that will stay with you. We don't know if it will come in the form of fiery guitars, synthesizers that glow in the shadows, or a voice that sounds like a secret whispered close to you. But it will appear.
Listen to the playlist slowly and carefully.
And when that song comes along, the one that changes your mood or gets under your skin, tell us.
We want to know if music has once again fulfilled its part of the bargain 🎧✨
