Aicha by Outlandish
Before the terms ‘woke feminist’ and ‘girl boss’ were thrown around, this song came closest to celebrating the unsung women of the world.
Don’t make me wait by Sting and Shaggy
This unlikely duo who popularised two distinct genres come together to create magic with this track. We loved the accompanying video when it was released in 2018, as part of the Caribbean-laced album ‘44/876. The vibe is holiday-esque. Just the kind of a music oasis we need in muggy Mumbai.
Break’n a Sweat by Skrillex and The Doors
Hard rock meets dubstep in this track that helped us power through today. The behind-the-scenes snippet where the OG rockers navigate new-age music is a treat.
One Dance by Drake
Albeit a decade old now, it still feels instantly familiar. When it first came out, it played almost everywhere, in cars, clubs, and cafes, until it became part of everyday life.
Wahdon by Fairuz
This soft song is intensified by Lebanese poet Talal Haider’s lyrics about his brief encounter with three army men who were martyred in occupied Palestine.
