Music Critic Beatrice Lancet runs through 5 songs for any Leo sign’s soundtrack
Just like the lions they are named after, Leos are confident leaders, who are optimistic, creative and love to be in the spotlight. If you were born under this sign (July 23- August 22) here are five songs recommendations that will help you become the ruler of the jungle!
Leader of the pack
‘Remember the Name’- Fort Minor
Even Leos need a dose of motivation and this track will make you feel like you can do anything you want to. As a Fire Sign, Leos are dedicated, focused and fixated on goals. With some of the best rap lyricism, rhythms and riffs I have heard, ‘Remember the Name’ is a strong reminder that you are the leader of the pack.
It is My Life (and I am going to live it how I want to)
‘Live for the Moment’- The Sherlocks
Leos are known for their vivacious energy and willingness to throw themselves into everything they do. This track by the indie-rock band The Sherlocks encompasses this strength and dynamic nature, with its electric guitar solos and driving drums. The song is a brilliantly energetic call to to live your life the way that you want to.
Let’s have some fun
‘I Don’t Want to Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)’- Glass Animals
Moving into their era of pop edged indie, Glass Animals have created a song which embodies the aspects of the Leo personality of wanting to have a good time and enjoy themselves. With a funky bassline and layered vocal harmonies, this danceable hypnotic track sneaks up on you until all you want to do is (of course) dance.
Independent creative spirit
‘Don’t Kill my Vibe’- Sigrid
Turn the volume up! This track by Sigrid is a great representation of the independent creative spirit of Leos, with its militant drums and soaring melodies. Through the vulnerability in the verse lyrics into the strength of the chorus, Sigrid has created a song which throws off hate and instead focuses on seeing our own individuality as the strongest asset we can have.
But sometimes we all need some love
‘That’s What I Want’- Lil Nas X
Although Leos are known for their independence and individuality, we all want raw and real strong relationships, and from Lil Nas X’s recent album MONTERO, this track represents a fun yet anguished exploration of love. Many people forget about Leos’ passionate and loyal side but, just as the lyrics explode into a chorus which wishes for the reality of a relationship, Leos are committed and fall hard into relationships.
Leos are strong, devoted and creative people, often engaged with art and aestheticism and I hope that you all enjoy listening to these songs which make me think of being a Leo.
