Bonus points if they are women, feminist, and not TERFs.
I’ve always been a fan of putting on some Alanis Morissette or Paramore (I fucking love Hayley Williams and her new solo album too). I recently found Sofia Isella too. I’m hoping to add more artists to listen to!
I’m on a similar path. Here’s my current playlist.
U-Huh by Tkay Maidza
Little Girl Gone by Chinchilla
Bad Girls and Paper Planes by M.I.A
Side note: I wanna listen to Bjork because I feel like the media really tried to steam roll her, back in the day, I’m not sure. I haven’t had vibes for her style to look deeper into it yet.
Chappell Roan, Lorde and Billie Eilish can fill the void, sometimes too.
Kids (ain’t all right) by Grace Mitchell
Flawless by Dorothy
Golden to Thrive by Samsaruh
Talk Deep by E^ST (her voice! Swoon!)
Habits by Tove Lo
Exs and ohs by Ellie King. (I have mad respect for her for all she went through with her Dad)
Not entirely just femme but this one has a beautiful premise and fem singer, *white blood by oh wonder. They wrote the song after their friends battle with cancer. It’s representative of white blood cells fighting for your life, but as personification.
Beautiful by Joydrop. (I deep dived into my younger selves music and absolutely loved this, and still do in this version of myself, it seems.)
Fire fire by flyleaf (which addresses the toxic lies that shape young people struggling with family dysfunction and personal identity. )
This one is just beautiful and I love it so much. Saved the best for last. *Ngana Nyunyi by Tilly Tjala Thomas
