Every other week, Staff Reporter Jillian Morabito showcases some of the tunes you should be tuning in to. Here are her picks for your new Must Listen Playlist:

“Let Me Back In” by Rilo Kiley

On their latest album, Rilo Kiley has released a new L.A. anthem of sorts. This particular track uses the City of Angels not only as a metaphor, but also as something more stable than a significant other (“No matter how wrong I've been / L.A. you always let me back in”). The music video (below) is a behind the scenes look at the band in adorable fashion; it was even referred to as “perfect.” The band released “Rkives” in April after a two year hiatus.  

“The Love Club” by Lorde

The newest sensation, Lorde, is straight out of New Zealand and only 16. Competition with Birdy? Maybe. “The Love Club” is addicting and reminiscent of A Fine Frenzy, Kimbra, and even a bit of Ingrid Michaelson. Lorde is ready to expand her music across the globe because, as her lyrics say, “It's time the kid got free.”

“Green Garden” by Laura Mvula

Like Lorde, Laura Mvula was also featured on Buzzfeed’s “underdog” selections for this summer.  She is one of a few artists that can masterfully combine both soul and pop in a folk tone. Mvula not only has a raspy voice, but also possesses music stylings similar to Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. The British soul singer released her debut album in March.

“Take the Night Off” Laura Marling

Another fresh face, Laura Marling is a 23-year-old singer-songwriter that so beautifully demonstrates emotion through her music. In my opinion, this particular track is the best on her new album (though the lyrics are subtly risqué). Another English woman, Marling won a Brit Award in 2011, while her new EP “Once I Was an Eagle” came out this past April. 

“This Woman’s Work” by Kate Bush

Perhaps one of the most powerful songs ever written, “This Woman’s Work” is totally appropriate for this week’s throwback. The song details a mother who doesn’t survive childbirth and is narrated through her husband’s thoughts regarding the baby and the pain of not being able to see his wife live the life she had planned. The track was originally written for the movie, “She’s Having a Baby.”

Kate Bush’s vocals are absolutely flawless. It is a shame the song is more known for being sung by Maxwell, when this version is a thousand times more inspiring. Bush influenced the careers of other vocal commanders like Florence Welch and Tori Amos. And guess what? She's also British.
