You'll always find your way back home by Hannah Montana

As Hannah Montana marks her 20th anniversary, we've found ourselves returning to this classic upbeat pop number that instantly lifts the mood and gets you moving.

Shallow by Lagy Gaga and Bradley Cooper

It was Oscar season recently, and we couldn't help but return to one of our favourites from the last decade. This track by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from the film, A Star is Born, won Best Original Song in 2019. The songwriting is honest, dissecting life's travails in all its intensity and despair. Listen to it, if you enjoy an honest ballad and appreciate a powerful performer. It's all heart.

Anisa by Zakir Hussain

A throwback to the jugalbandi, playfulness and virtuosity that defined the iconic instrumentation of the late maestro's genius. PS, the song is named after Hussain's daughter. A memorable gift, to say the least.

The Mountain by Gorillaz

We've been hooked on this track that features Anoushka Shankar's sitar, Aman Ali Bangash on the sarod, and just enough room for an ethereal flute line by Ajay Prasanna.
