Home of Songs To Brush Your Teeth To.
Songs To Brush Your Teeth To is our regular new mu Songs To Brush Your Teeth To is our regular new music update where we bring you five songs to listen to each week – our suggestion is to do that while brushing your teeth so you make new music a good daily habit, but honestly, you can listen whenever you like. We won’t judge. You can check out the playlist on Tidal, Spotify or YouTube. I’m scared to guess how many times the words “Olivia does remixes now” have blasted out across my house this weekend, as expectations has soundtracked my teeth brushing, laundry folding and pretty much everything else. Safe to say it’s a lot. Like most of the queer community I was desperate for new Chappell Roan music and so keen to hear this remix, and her first ever feature! I’m very glad it lived up to my expectations We all know I love a good serious topic wrapped up in a little pop parcel and this is exactly what Kayls Chest is. Exploring their feelings about being upset when someone misgenders them, whilst navigating the conflict of wanting to be honest yet also wanting to avoid conflict; it’s a fear that everyone in the queer community struggles with at some point in their journey. Kayls shares “My fatal flaw is that I really struggle a lot to be honest with my friends and family when I’m upset, because I hate the thought of making others feel that way. Writing this song kind of became my way of trying to grow a backbone and stand up for myself!”. I really enjoyed the energy on Sunday, there’s something about the rhythm of ELYK’s rap that drew me in. Lyrically, the song focuses on the amount that people rely on their devices and their constant device use, but within that is a nostalgia and reminiscence of the band’s younger days when they’d rather just hang out. I love the big, heavy guitar runs that dominate this latest track from Chelsea Daghita, and you hear her vocals take on a richness and strength to match this in a way we haven’t really seen on previous releases. “The song is about somebody who I wanted to care for, but they really didn’t have it together at all,” reflects Chelsea. “I thought I could be the person to help them out, but it got to a point where I just couldn’t stand seeing someone with such pote

Same new music recommendations, slightly new look! Same new music recommendations, slightly new look! I was feeling all kinds of emo this week when I started building this list so I make no apologies for the melancholy vibes. Swipe to see what you should be listening to. Bleakly melancholy, Colorado by Jesse Jo Starn perfectly sets the scene for this week’s list (It’s largely one of yearning). This gentle track sees Stark combining lyrical clarity with heavy emotions giving us a glimpse into her latest body of work. Speaking on her upcoming release MUSE she shares: “Writing is like bleeding. It’s gonna be a bitch to sing these songs” And you can feel that in Colorado, it’s in the ache of the lyrics and the way some lines are delivered so slowly, as if it’s an effort to share the words. Telenova’s Happy does contain beats of optimism alongside its yearning qualities. It’s sort of a darker take on 00’s pop. There’s these brighter elements in the music but ultimately it’s quite a depressing track at times. “Despite the tough exteriors, the ‘having it together’, the nonchalant facades that a lot of us out there wear, we’re all masking hurts, disappointments, insecurities at times.” explains frontwoman Angeline Armstrong “‘Happy’ is a bit of a ‘heart cry’, we wanted to give voice to what a lot of people in this world are feeling in a very real and simple way Hannah’s first single in three years Arm’s Length is told through the eyes of an anxious person as it explores attachment and the interplay of anxious and avoidant attachement styles. There’s a wistfulness in the song that isn’t quite hopefulness, but it soon gives way to a sad acceptance about how this relationship will progress. Of the song, Hannah says – “I wrote Arm’s Length while watching attachment theory play out in real time with a new person. I found myself noticing all of their avoidant tells and feeling like I (finally) knew better. There is something almost funny about watching the dynamic unfold from this place of understanding it – I think this song was my way of telling myself “you know how this goes”.” Alt-pop One More Hit is definitely one of the more upbeat tracks on this week’s list. The fast paced drums lift its energy as it tells
