Considering the amount of different artists I've listened to this month, to be this high up with Lana shows how her voice can still cut through the noise of today.

🌿 Caught My Ear – Vol. 4 40 tracks. One journey.

From firestarters and fight songs to floaty escapes and dub‑soaked reflections, Vol. 4 is built like a diary — sequenced for mood, memory, and momentum. It opens with grit and defiance (Tom Jones, Adele, Foo Fighters, P!nk, Public Enemy), spirals through cinematic tension and dreamlike pivots (Bowie, Massive Attack, Lana, Björk), and lands in a reggae run that eases into groove and warmth before snapping shut with cheek and bite (Madness, Lily Allen).

This isn’t just a playlist — it’s a map of sparks that caught my ear and wouldn’t let go. If you’ve got the patience to ride it all the way to Track 40, you’ll know why it ends the way it does.

Vol 3, Powerful Women singing Powerful Songs.

This volume is the first to be entirely female‑voiced, and it shows just how wide that spectrum can be — from raw confession to playful wit, from hypnotic minimalism to festival‑scale euphoria. It’s 40 tracks sequenced as a living diary: jagged openings, reflective valleys, and closing fire.

And while Vol. 3 stands on its own, it also continues the thread — Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 carried their own powerful female voices, anchoring the series long before this all‑female chorus took centre stage.

01 Amy Winehouse – Alcoholic Logic
02 The SoapGirls – Rolling Stones
03 Lana Del Rey – Dealer
04 Tove Lo – Habits (Stay High) [Hippie Sabotage Remix]
05 Alanis Morissette – Mary Jane
06 Madonna – Bad Girl
07 Christina Aguilera – Still Dirrty
08 Miley Cyrus – Wish You Were Here
09 Kate Nash – Foundations
10 Björk – Human Behaviour (Vessel Live, 1994)
11 Kelly Clarkson ft. En Vogue – Free Your Mind
12 Garbage – Push It
13 The Skints – Swimming Lessons (Freedom Sounds Festival, 2019)
14 Suzi Quatro – Can the Can
15 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Freedom Of The Night
16 Blondie – Atomic [Live at Apollo Theatre, Glasgow]
17 The B‑52’s – Dirty Back Road
18 Sleeper – What Do I Do Now? Live At Wembley

Volume 2 doesn’t play safe. It lurches from mash‑up mischief to ska‑styled Nirvana, from jukebox oddities to voices that cut straight through. One moment you’re laughing at the audacity, the next you’re floored by defiance or tenderness.
