Mother Nature’s Bitch by Okay Kaya

I was only shown this song super recently but I love its themes and whacky nature. Love the meaning behind it and also those sharp stabby synths!

Before We Begin by Broadcast

Heard this whilst I was watching ‘The L Word’ and I fell in love with it. This song is an entire movie in a song. It is so beautiful - those harsh guitars mixed with the soft xylophone thing is so beautiful.

Chicken Tenders by Dominic Fike

Absolutely incredible pop song. I’m trying to find a way to combine my favourite things from all these songs into my music! I love the melody “that’s good love making”.
