Tengrinews.kz – The past month has been exceptionally busy for music premieres. Kazakhstani artists have unveiled new albums and singles that rapidly caught the audience's attention, climbing the charts and racking up impressive numbers on digital platforms. Tengrinews.kz together with Zhuldyz FM have curated a selection of the most talked-about releases today.

By the way, you don't need to keep refreshing your streaming tabs to be the first to hear the latest tracks: Zhuldyz FM promptly adds new releases to its playlist. The most standout premieres are already available on the station's airwaves.

Sadraddin

One of the most discussed releases of the month is Sadraddin's new album, titled Zeiin. The record features 11 tracks: Intro, Suraq, Aldi, Afro, Seni oilai, Bolme, Menin adamym, Altynym, Jastyq shaq, Sagynysh, and Kimdi kinalaisyn.

The current fan favorites are Menin adamym and Sagynysh, the latter a collaboration with Bakr. The numbers reflect this massive interest: the lyric video for Menin adamym has garnered over 2.1 million views, while Sagynysh has surpassed 4.2 million views just weeks after its release.

According to the artist, the new album turned out to be very personal.

Yenlik

Yenlik's new single, "time," began generating buzz long before its official release.

The track premiered on June 19, preceded by an unusual teaser where the singer literally drags a house behind her. The clip quickly went viral on social media, amassing over 350,000 views. Interest in the track has only grown since the full release.

Yenlik explained that the main goal of the track is to inspire people to stay true to their convictions.

"The meaning of the song, as usual, is to inspire people—to urge them not to succumb to the thoughts and opinions of others, but to remain faithful to their own beliefs," the artist shared.

The singer emphasized the important message embedded in the composition: "In this day and age, it is very easy to fall under the influence of someone else's opinion. It’s important for people to remember this and not lose their own perspective on things."

Ayau

Another highly anticipated release is the new record LALAGÜL by Ayau.

Released on May 12, the album includes ten tracks: COME ON (Intro), SÜI, QYZĞANAMYN, SAĞYNU, JAZLĞYZ SEN, QOO, ÄDEMI, SENEMES, KET, and the title track LALAGÜL.

According to the singer, the album's title symbolizes the lily—a flower that combines tenderness with inner strength.

"LALAGÜL is an album about feelings that built up inside and couldn't find a way out, about words that remained unsaid. It's not just about the beautiful moments of love, but also its difficult sides: jealousy, insecurity, dependency. If my first album was a dialogue with the world, then LALAGÜL is a conversation with myself," Ayau shared.

Listeners have been particularly drawn to the track SAĞYNU, recorded in collaboration with A.Boo.

Abzal Uteshov

Adding to the list of standout releases is the track "Biz jolygamyz" by Abzal Uteshov. The song has already reached 4 million views on YouTube and climbed to 5th place on the Shazam charts.

Listeners know this songwriter from his previous lyrical works, such as "Ayaldama," "Bir oilap alam," "Ekeumiz," and "Toqta." Abzal writes both his own lyrics and music, which gives his soulful, lyrical tracks a sense of deep meaning and sincerity that resonates widely with his audience.

Mukhtar Khanzada and Abdizhappar Alkozha

Another major release is the collaboration "Janym sol" by two prominent figures of the Kazakh stage, Mukhtar Khanzada and Abdizhappar Alkozha. The musicians teamed up to deliver a soulful yet rhythmic track to their fans.

The song was released on May 22, 2026, and quickly caught the attention of Kazakhstani listeners: to date, it has over 1.5 million views on YouTube and holds the 7th spot on Kazakhstan's Shazam trends.

Mona Songz

Mona Songz also surprised fans with the song "O Mama," the lead single from his upcoming album, Lep.

The artist admitted that this work deviates from his usual sound.

"O Mama is one of my favorite songs on the album. It's very dynamic and unusual—not the kind of song I typically write," said Mona Songz.

The title of the upcoming album also carries a special meaning.

"Lep—because it is light, like the breath of a summer wind. Those who listen to it will immediately understand that the name describes the album perfectly," the performer noted.
