Joni
Mitchell…all hail Queen Joni. She was the first singer songwriter
to completely blow me away. If you’ve never listened to her, stop reading this
and get to Spotify. I’d recommend starting with songs like, “California”, “Chelsea
Morning”, and “Clouds”. Once you’re initiated, go ahead and listen to the
masterpiece that is Blue from start
to finish; my sister got me an original copy of Blue on vinyl for my 21st birthday and I reached peak
Joni.
Ella
Fitzgerald…I challenge anyone who says her Christmas album Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas isn’t
the greatest festive album of all time
Billie
Holiday…she could sing my phone bill and I swear I would still get
chills.
Jenny
Lewis…so it turns out I low- key like country music?
Beyoncé…every
album of hers has further confirmed my love and admiration for her. She was once
criticised for not speaking out about racial relations in the US, but has any
reasonable person got a single argument against her since Formation?
Taylor
Swift...I was sceptical at first but then came Red, shortly followed by Lena Dunham
becoming friends with her, and the rest is history.
The
Staves…the folk girl
gang.
Nina
Simone…she’s an absolute hero who weirdly nobody seems to talk
about. Her performances were always amazing and she could say so much by saying
so little. I’d highly recommend watching What
Happened, Miss Simone? if you want to know more about her.
