Playlist: Tunes for Week 43/52

When you consider how pro-girl power I am, it's ironic that my favourite bands and artists have rarely consisted of female vocalists. I'm so pleased that in the last year or so, gutsy female artists with some substance have moved to the forefront of indie-rock and pop. (Manufactured pop is so 2004.) I've even been lucky enough to see the vast majority of these artists over the last few months! 

Whilst they aren't all new, here are a few of my current favourite lady-led tracks xx

1. I Can Hardly Make You Mine / Cults
2. Head Is Not My Home / MS MR
3. Send Me Down / HAIM
4. Waste Of Time / MØ
5. Manic Baby / The Preatures
6. Future Starts Slow / The Kills
7. Help Me Lose My Mind / London Grammar & Disclosure
8. Oblivion / Grimes
9. Water Me / FKA twigs
10. VCR / The XX
