When the lockdown was first announced, we had just moved houses after a year of being neither here nor there. We were looking forward to truly starting our lives, to finally unpacking our suitcases after 6 years of living and working in different countries (or in my case, 13 years), and to finally owning a bookshelf. I was going to start driving lessons so I could get a British drivers license (my Indian one doesn’t count), AND I was going to explore the heck out of Europe the way I had Asia.
Instead, all my creative energy and ambition was channelled into creating a COVID-19 Pandemic Playlist full of coronavirus themed jams, lockdown tunes, peppy songs about being stuck at home. And while I started it as a joke, it has become a real mood-booster in these uncertain times.
And because I’m the kind of benevolent, humble person that I am, here it is for all of you to enjoy! I hope it gets you through the tough times, inserts a bit of humour into your lives, brings dance back into your routines, and generally makes you happy.
Hope you are all staying safe! Until we see each other again x
I get it. Despite friends and family trying to bring my musical taste into the 21st century, I am finding solace during the pandemic, racial and political turmoil by listening to music from (mainly) the 1960’s and 1970’s. I find so much of that music relevant today. Plus it is comforting to be surrounded by the familiar.

Your Twitter playlist has now been added to our rotation. You’re right. There’s something about the music from that era that is so relevant now!
