This monster hit, originally released in 1990, by the OG diva is back on playlists across the globe, thanks to its rightful place in the soundtrack of The Devil Wears Prada 2. Enough has been celebrated about this runway favourite. It mixes house with a trippy arrangement that one can never tire of playing at home parties, or move on to the dancefloor. Like old wine, it gets better with age. Trust Madonna to rock the charts at 67!

If the quiet sensuality of the late Ali Farka Touré’s vocals, accompanied by the guitar does not sway you, keep your ears open for Hama Sankaré on the calabash. This ought to be everyone’s jam to wind down the weekend with. 

Midnight City by M83

This synth-heavy anthem feels like driving through neon-lit streets at 2 am, equal parts nostalgic and futuristic. M83 perfectly captures that bittersweet rush of youth and freedom, with soaring melodies that stay with you long after the track ends.
