Asha Bhosale

Mera Kuch Saamaan by RD Burman

Asha Bhosle, RD Burman and Gulzar. This trifecta has evoked emotions for every millennial generation that ever owned a radio. If there is one song to remember the underrated depth of the late Asha Bhosle, it is this.

Smile by Madeleine Peyroux

We're in love with this track by the American jazz singer who began her career as a busker on Paris' streets. Originally written by the great Nat King Cole, Peyroux's rendition is refreshing; her vintage jazz notes feel like a warm, reassuring hug to help jumpstart the day. There is a certain joie-de-vivre that might blur out a bit of the mundaneness of urban humdrum.

Ordinary by Alex Warren

The song is a deeply personal pop ballad that makes you feel hopeful and emotional, highlighting a love that endured hardship and grew stronger.

The Spoils by Massive Attack

This 2016 trip-hop track featuring Hope Sandoval explores the anxiety and struggle to understand love. Talk about feels!

We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel

Few today remember this catchy number by Billy Joel, but given the circumstances it still rings true. Plus, it is a reminder that ‘It was always burning/ Since the world's been turning'.
