My Experience as A New Listener of Phoebe Bridgers’ Music

For the longest time, a lot of my friends would listen to Phoebe Bridgers and encourage me to do so as well. While I appreciated her music, I found it often hard for me to get into. While it was music I definitely would gravitate towards, I think something was holding me back. Often, I am used to listening to more upbeat music, and although Phoebe had some faster paced songs, the majority of them were just a little too slow for me. 

I started off by listening to some of her more popular songs such as “Kyoto” and “Motion Sickness”. These were more my speed and immediately went on my playlist. Overtime, however, I learned to grow an appreciation for her music. Now, my winter playlist is FILLED with her songs. While I still can’t say she’s my top artist at the moment, I definitely have gotten into her music, respect her craft, and find the lyrics touching. 

Here are my recommendations for new Phoebe listeners: : 

• Kyoto 
• Motion sickness 
• Not Strong Enough
• So Much Wine 
• Graceland Too 
• Emily I’m Sorry 
• True Blue 
• Smoke Signals 
• Savior Complex 
• Cool About It
