I listen to a lot of things, but in the spirit of your "new gems" search, two tracks that I've been testing with as I've been moving my system around various apartments this year are
1.) "Afterglow" by Lydia Ainsworth (from Darling of the Afterglow) (Tidal HiFi) It has these amazing bass synth swoops that are either killer or missing depending on whether I've got the placement and decoupling right, and her layered vocal and stray percussion accents are so forward that it's a great show of mid-high balance.
2.) "If You Could Read My Mind," by Gordon Lightfoot (Tidal Master) goes all the way opposite with natural, close mic'd guitars, baritone voice, string orchestra. Lots of separation of instruments.
Enjoy!
