+
+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.

+[](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists/166)
+
+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!
