I recently authored a blog where I recommended songs to listen to if you’re a fan of Fiona Apple. I enjoyed making it and received a positive response that I’ve decided to make “If you like… then listen to…” a series (woohoo).
This installment is for fans of “folklore,” Taylor Swift’s 2020 folk-inspired album born out of lockdown and quarantine. I’ve compiled a list of 15 songs/artists that give me similar vibes. Picture it: a sad summer, first loves, self-doubt, soft guitar/piano melodies, a maze of forests, and heartbreak.
Without further ado, here is the playlist:
- “?” — Dodie
- “22 (OVER S∞∞N)” — Bon Iver
- “Cactus Tree” — Joni Mitchell
- “Black Dog” — Arlo Parks
- “Hold Out” — Aly & AJ
- “Big Black Car” — Gregory Alan Isakov
- “You Missed My Heart” — Phoebe Bridgers
- “Stoned at the Nail Salon” — Lorde
- “Bleachers” — Emily Yacina
- “Going Going Gone” — Lucy Dacus
- “Summer in the City” — Regina Spektor
- “Chewing Cotton Wool” — The Japanese House
- “Little Bird” — Imogen Heap
- “Steamboat” — Adrianne Lenker
- “Little Changes” — Clairo
As always, I’ve made a Spotify playlist for easy listening.
Until next time,
Caitlin
