Spirit Music Coachella: Coachella 2025 delivered everything we hoped for and more — iconic headliners, genre-blending performances, and moments that will live on far beyond the desert. At Spirit Music Group, we’re proud to have had a strong presence this year through a dynamic range of songs that helped shape the festival’s sonic energy. From Afrobeats to dance-pop to hip-hop legends, here are five standout tracks with Spirit fingerprints all over them.
“Water” – Tyla
Co-written by Tricky Stewart
Tyla’s meteoric rise continues to gain global momentum, and her Coachella debut proved she’s more than just a viral sensation. When she performed “Water,” the crowd absolutely lost it — a moment that cemented the song as a festival anthem. With its sensual bounce and undeniable hook, “Water” showcases the production brilliance of Tricky Stewart, a longtime hitmaker whose pen helped bring this sultry track to life. It was a celebration of Afrobeats on one of the world’s biggest stages — and Tyla delivered it with style.
“I Like the Way You Kiss Me” – Artemas
Co-written by Jesse Fink
Artemas brought raw emotion and infectious alt-pop energy to the Coachella crowd with “I Like the Way You Kiss Me,” a breakout hit co-written by Jesse Fink. The song’s haunting honesty and catchy production gave fans a moment to dance and feel all at once. With its viral momentum and strong Gen Z following, this track was one of the weekend’s most buzzed-about indie-pop performances.
“Deep Down” – Alok, Ella Eyre, Kenny Dope & Never Dull
Co-written by David Wolinski
When Alok hit the stage, it became an instant party — and “Deep Down” turned the Sahara Tent into a pulsing sea of bodies. The disco-drenched bassline and throwback house flavor, courtesy of co-writer David Wolinski, felt tailor-made for a Coachella dancefloor. This song continues to bridge generations, blending nostalgic grooves with a fresh modern flair that lit up the night.
“Last of My Kind” – Shaboozey
Co-produced by David Cohen
Shaboozey was one of this year’s breakout stars, and his set was a genre-bending highlight of the weekend. “Last of My Kind,” co-produced by David Cohen, stood out as an anthem for the new Americana — gritty, emotional, and proudly unique. With country, hip-hop, and rock influences all converging, the song captured the raw spirit of independence and identity. The crowd sang every word like it was a battle cry.
“Lose Control” – Missy Elliott
Co-written by Curtis Hudson
Missy Elliott’s headlining performance was the definition of legendary — and “Lose Control” was a pinnacle moment. Co-written by Curtis Hudson, the song still feels just as futuristic and danceable as when it first dropped. The crowd erupted as the beat hit, a reminder of Missy’s unmatched influence and the enduring power of great songwriting. It was more than nostalgia — it was a living legacy.
Coachella 2025 was a reminder of how great songs transcend time, borders, and genre.
From emerging stars to living icons, we at Spirit Music Group are honored to support the songwriters, producers, and artists creating the soundtrack of now and next. See you in the desert next year.
