Veronica Electronica: Madonna  

Does she need an introduction? This is Madonna’s new album, and it’s the innovative dance album we’ve come to expect from this superstar. Veronica Electronica is a full-length Ray of Light remix album, plus two new songs. It’s a mashup of moody techno, raging house music, and the genius we’ve come to expect from Madonna.

This is the debut album from the singer/songwriter whose hit, “Ordinary,” may just be the song of 2025 so far. Warren’s style has drawn comparisons to Shawn Mendes and David Kushner, making him the next big thing in the growing indie-pop scene.

Tom Howe’s soundtrack includes nine new, original songs and two fan-favorite hits. Many of the catchy songs have corresponding choreography, so watch for them on TikTok! 

Permission to Dance: On Stage – Live: BTS  

This is the first live album from South Korean supergroup BTS. Its 22 tracks capture the joyful, dynamic energy that’s made this group famous.
