Fourtwnty – "Mangu" (feat. Charita Utami)

"Mangu" is a poignant single by Indonesian indie band Fourtwnty, featuring vocalist Charita Utami. Originally released on April 20, 2022, the song gained renewed popularity in 2025, resonating deeply with listeners and climbing music charts.

The title "Mangu" translates to "pensive" or "contemplative," setting the tone for a track that explores the emotional complexities of a relationship strained by differing spiritual or philosophical beliefs. The lyrics portray two individuals who love each other deeply but are divided by something fundamental, leading to a quiet, aching sadness beneath the surface of the song.

Musically, "Mangu" is a gentle blend of acoustic instrumentation and ambient textures. Ari Lesmana’s evocative vocals intertwine seamlessly with Charita Utami’s ethereal tone, creating a duet that is both intimate and haunting. Their harmonies carry a raw vulnerability, reflecting the weight of emotions left unspoken.

The song’s resurgence in 2025 is largely thanks to its viral momentum on social media, where users embraced its meditative mood and universal message. Included in Fourtwnty’s album Nalar, "Mangu" stands out as a track that transcends language and culture, touching on the shared human experience of love, difference, and emotional surrender.

Snoop Dogg – "Iz It a Crime?"

"Iz It a Crime?" is the 21st studio album by hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg, released on May 15, 2025, via Death Row Records. This project arrives just five months after his collaborative album Missionary with Dr. Dre, showcasing Snoop's relentless creativity and evolution as an artist.

The album’s title and themes are a direct response to the backlash Snoop faced earlier this year after performing at the Crypto Ball during President Trump’s inauguration weekend. Critics questioned his credibility, and the controversy led to a significant drop in followers on social media. Instead of addressing the situation through interviews, Snoop used this album to process and express his thoughts, turning the criticism into fuel for one of his most personal records.

"Iz It a Crime?" features 21 tracks with collaborations from Pharrell Williams, Wiz Khalifa, Sexyy Red, October London, Jane Handcock, and Charlie Bereal. The production, led by Battlecat, Nottz, and Rick Rock, blends introspective melodies with classic West Coast sounds. The title track reinterprets Sade’s “Is It a Crime” through Snoop’s perspective, blending emotional depth with street wisdom.

Lyrically, the album explores themes of loyalty, loss, love, and legacy. “My Friend” honors lost loved ones, “Can’t Get Enough” is a tribute to his wife Shante Broadus, and “Life’s Journey” reflects on his decades-long career. Meanwhile, “ShutYoBitchAssUp” directly addresses long-standing tensions with former Death Row CEO Suge Knight.

The project is accompanied by a short film that blends music videos, behind-the-scenes footage, and documentary-style storytelling, offering a visual extension of the album’s emotional and cultural themes.
