It is a good practice for media sites to open links in a new tab/windows (using target=“_blank”, preferably with rel="noopener" for better security and performance) as to not interrupt currently playing audio/video.
Not sure about the direct track link BTW, because that would result in the track starting to play in SoundCloud concurrently. Maybe that one should be a regular link (that opens in the same tab).
