🎵 SONG-TO-GO 🎵

Friday is here, so I've got another Song-To-Go poll hot n' ready to go for you!

If you're new, hello and welcome! Song-To-Go is a weekly song poll released every Friday where I present you with new, lesser-known songs to listen to while you scroll.

As always, choose songs based on the 30-second Spotify snippets if you don’t know them (and I try to make sure there’s always something you won’t know). If you like what you hear, go listen to the full songs, they’re yours to carry along on your scroll!

[last week’s poll, playlist of everything so far (in order) and other/future picks]

This week, I’ve picked some Cure-inspired new wave from India that I’ve been digging all year, a Montreal synthpop trio that actually came out of cult favourite band Caveboy, a young but incredible new jazzy Canadian alt rock band (broken up already sadly), American goth rock that iirc I found through tumblr so you might already know her. We’ve also got a punk rock band whose sense of justice is shaped by the fact that their singer is still and was an NHS doctor during the pandemic, and the hip hop musician Hyphen, who is opening for Bob Vylan (another recommendation!) on their UK tour so go catch him live.

Happy listening! Pass it on and let me know in the tags what you liked this week :) I’ll be back with another next Friday!

The thing is that every single time I listen to a Little Simz song, I need to just stand still and process it like new, more often than not I'm just left standing there one hand over my mouth, just completely taken over by her work. The stakes are so high. The struggles are so poignant. The victories so joyous, the descriptions so clear and vivid. She really is the crowned leader of modern British hip hop. What a visionary.

“Me and that gyal got connection, the wifi connection” is a lyric that has killed me actually

Simbiiii I love you so much for the song Woman, I have always had an uneasy relationship with the word woman, especially in the mouths of some people, but now when I hear it, I just think of her steady voice going "Woman is a woman, yeah" Little Simz changing lives forever <3
