I’m having a bit of a rubbish time - break up after a succession of shit OLDs and a failed marriage - and I need some kickarse songs to make a new me/I’m ok being single playlist. Any suggestions please?

Fiona Apple -- Get Gone. She takes no shit and I love her for it.

A lot of Kelly Clarkson!
Never again
Walk away
Since you've been gone
Don't waste your time

Dickhead by Miles Betterman. It's hilarious but so appropriate!

No Man's Woman by Sinead O'Connor- a shout-along classic!

Beyoncé - all of Lemonade

Kelly rowlands - Commander - the video is amazing and gets you feeling strong and energised - sing it at the top of your voice OP!

Strings Of Life - Soul Central feat. Kathy Brown (Radio Edit)
Such an upbeat groovy song you'll love it! The lyrics are very fitting also...

This is going out to anybody
Who might be able to relate to
What I am gonna do,
You've had to put up with all the lying,
Cheating, back stabbin',
So many years
And too many tears,
But I realised,
I didn't have to suffer like this no more,
'Cause I'm stronger now,
Stronger on my Own!
Yeah, you can't hurt me boy,
Nah no, noooo baby,
'Cause I'm stronger on my own,
You wanna go it alone,
Or go lonely,
Y'see you let me down so many times before,
But right here in my mind,
You are the only, the only one I love
But I showed you the door,
If you could see me now,
And what I was back then,
You'd swear I was a different girl,
Oh, believe me boy,
I had to make a choice,
No more would you destroy my world,
No more that I can take
Don't need to serve this dish you made,
'Cause I'm stronger on my own,
I'm stronger on my own,
Right now I see,
Just where I wanna be,
And it's better on my own
I'm stronger on my own

I Don't Need A Man - Pussycat Dolls

Beyonce - sorry
Beyonce - don't hurt yourself
Desree - life
Little mix - power

QueenOfOversharing · 06/01/2020 22:06

Two for me which aren't necessarily about this, but their energy & lyrics are so uplifting & empowering. Play loud, in the car, windows down. I defy you not to sing along.

Sounds of Blackness - Optimistic
The Source feat Candi Staton - You Got The Love

Jazmine Sullivan - Bust The Windows
Mary J Blige - No More Drama
Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's OK
Aretha Franklin - A Rose Is Still A Rose

HighOnStilts · 06/01/2020 22:08

Also, if you want a song you can dance around the room to...
Modjo - Chillin' - literally one of my favourite all time songs!

Gonewiththemadness · 06/01/2020 22:10

King of anything - sara bareilles (she’s just phenomenal!)
Good as hell - Lizzo
It’s not u it’s me - Bea Miller & 6LACK

Might not fit your situation but they definitely helped me feel empowered after my second breakup!

Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves - Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin

Mississippi Goddam - Nina Simone

I am what I am by Gloria Gaynor

Bad Woman Blues by Beth Hart. In fact, I love Beth Hart, especially the album she did with Joe Bonamassa. Well worth a listen.

Think I may make a playlist of these on Spotify!
