All the Playlists

Hold My Hand – Hat Fitz and Cara Robinson

29 May 2018

You all know of my early musical tastes from my bio, if not – I finally came out of the closet with my hardcore peers. My new found obsession of country, roots and anything with a bit of meat on the bone, there was no turning back. Just like this week’s artist, I was hooked…

One More Love Song – Mac Demarco

29 May 2018

Sometimes, when love looks like it’s right around the corner, we round it just to find out it is heartbreak. That’s what Mac Demarco’s song One More Love Song is all about. It’s about having your heart broken so many times, that you are desperate for a taste of love…

Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) – Beach Boys

29 May 2018

This is a mellow rock song about the desire to be with the one you love, even though they are unavailable. The person who you love is hurting, and you are begging them to forgo the consequences to be with you just for a moment.

Light As Air – Richard P John

24 May 2018

I’ve been living with this track for a while – it’s beautiful – and a really good fit for the Music to Fly With Confidence playlist too!  It’s one of those tracks that quietly seeps into your consciousness and has you going back to listen again and again.

Car Phone Confessions – Mario Dones

24 May 2018

A few weeks ago Brooklyn-based rapper Mario Dones submitted this track, and it seamlessly fits into the playlist both sonically and thematically. The lyrics use the relatable issue of having car problems to express the desire to keep pushing forward even when everything seems to be going wrong.

Everytime – Boy Pablo

23 May 2018

19 year old Pablo Muńoz struck gold with a song called Everytime off his first EP Roy Pablo. His song only got a few thousand views at first but got 30,000 views because it was posted to reddit page r/listentothis. After that a YouTube algorithm put his music video in everyone’s recommended list and the rest is history as his track shot up to a million views in over a month.

Half a Mill – Napoleon Da Legend

23 May 2018

Napoleon Da Legend is a Paris-born, East African and Washington DC-raised, Brooklyn-based lyricist who evokes the bleak reality of the world today without losing hope for a better tomorrow. 

Broken Soul In G Minor – Igor Longhi

23 May 2018

Do you ever grin when you listen to music?  No seriously – when you’re on your own and nobody’s looking and you don’t need to present the mask that the world seems to need – do you ever just joyfully let your face contort and unashamedly express how music makes you feel?

Halftime Show- Cam’Ron

23 May 2018

Halftime Show is a classic track from Cam’ron during Dipset’s Mixtape heydays. With streaming being introduced to the world, tracks that were once only available by finding the bootleg cd man can now be heard by the masses on every corner of the world…

Dying – Hole

23 May 2018

Hubo una vez una mujer que era pura energía distorsionante, sonrisas munchianas con mucho rouge y vestidos ajustados. Su catalizador era una guitarra y su novio Kurt Cobain.

En lo que fue una de las uniones más paradigmáticas del grunge, Courtney Love se une con Billy Corgan y el resultado es uno de los mejores discos en la carrera de Hole.

Music to Fight Evil – Year One Retrospective

23 May 2018

A little over a year ago I started adding inspirational music to a Spotify playlist. In that time I’ve been discovering emerging new artists as well as revisiting old favourites and learning about classic songs, all with one thing in common – the artists have something to say beyond boy-meets-girl, something about the state of their nation and the world…

134340 – BTS

23 May 2018

Do we have space in our playlist for the biggest boy band in the world at the moment? We sure do. The work of BTS itself is proof of how powerful art and entertainment can be; but also, how can we resist such a delicious track as “134340”?
