|
||
| Since your New Year's resolution is to start mapping, you might as well get started with one of the **50+** songs that were just added to our Featured Artist library! | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| While our schedule is usually packed with weekly artist releases, we're flipping the script today. We have nearly [**400** artists in our catalogue](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists), so we'd like to bring them back into the spotlight by updating a few of their song listings! | ||
|
|
||
| To be 200% clear, this article highlights every newly licensed song from older Featured Artists since [our batch of summer updates](https://osu.ppy.sh/home/news/2023-07-22-featured-artist-track-updates-summer-2023). | ||
|
|
||
| Here's how everything works: | ||
|
|
||
| - Use the links below to skip to a specific artist in this article | ||
| - [**Aiobahn**](#aiobahn) | ||
| - [**Celldweller**](#celldweller) | ||
| - [**ColBreakz**](#colbreakz) | ||
| - [**cygnus**](#cygnus) | ||
| - [**HyuN**](#hyun) | ||
| - [**SAMString**](#samstring) | ||
| - [**seatrus**](#seatrus) | ||
| - [**Umeboshi Chazuke**](#umeboshi-chazuke) | ||
| - Ranked/Loved maps for new songs are listed here, along with one or two audio previews per artist. Check the artist's listing for all previews and beatmap template downloads! | ||
| - Any new songs are marked with a **NEW** icon on the Featured Artist listing | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| Let's get started. | ||

|
|
||
| Renowned producer [**Aiobahn**](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists/166) and experienced vocalist **KOTOKO** joined forces to create **2** songs for a visual novel, and as you could easily guess, osu! players ate them up. That's why they're now part of **Aiobahn**'s Featured Artist listing! | ||
|

| That's all for now, but 2024 is already looking like a solid year for Featured Artists. You can expect: | ||
|
|
||
| - A new artist announcement next Saturday | ||
| - Another artist announcement the Saturday after that | ||
| - Yet another artist announcement 3 weeks from today | ||
| - Something else on the following Saturday (...probably a Featured Artist announcement) | ||
|
|
||
| We'll keep the rest of our schedule a secret, but smart readers might be able to deduce what comes next. | ||

|
||
| Stay tuned. | ||
