8 New Lesbian Jams To Add To Your Playlist This Week from Muna, Shygirl, Ren McLean, Tegan and Sara & More

Time to dust off that sapphic playlist again and add this week’s fresh batch of queer jams. From Ren McLean’s achingly sweet, atmospheric indie pop to Kami Kehoe’s dark, guitar-heavy electronic sound, Becky Hill’s bratty pop attitude, and MUNA’s dance-floor-ready remix, there’s plenty to add to your rotation. Plus, Christine and the Queens brings an art-pop spin to a queer disco classic, and Tegan and Sara are getting into the seasonal spirit.

MUNA — “Dancing On The Wall (Avalon Emerson Sweet Thing Remix)”

MUNA’s original version of “Dancing On The Wall” was already a banger, but this new remix by Avalon Emerson takes it to another level, pushing the track into house and electronic territory. It’s featured on the deluxe edition of Dancing On The Wall, alongside remixes from Romy, Arlo Parks, and Porches.

Shygirl — “Waves”

Shygirl explores new ethereal and experimental territory on “Waves,” featured on the Club Kid (Music From & Inspired by the Film) soundtrack, released through A24 Music. Fun side note: Shygirl also makes a cameo in the film. We love to see it!

Christine and the Queens — “The Boy with a Smile”

Shygirl isn’t the only artist contributing new music to the Club Kid (Music From & Inspired by the Film) soundtrack. Christine and the Queens lends his melancholic vocals to a cover of Arthur Russell’s “The Boy with a Smile.” In his hands, this queer disco classic gets an atmospheric, art-pop reinterpretation.

Ren McLean — The Orchard 

Immediately add emerging queer singer-songwriter Ren McLean to your must-listen list. “The Orchard,” featured on her seven-song concept EP Wildfire, blends achingly sweet vocals with atmospheric guitar. The EP follows “sapphic first heartbreak from denial and codependency through grief, acceptance, and the work of becoming someone new.”

Kami Kehoe  — “Lost”

Kami Kehoe’s work is always full of surprises, as she frequently moves between the sonic worlds of alt-rock, electronic music, and dark pop. On “Lost,” she creates a collision of electronic production and heavy guitars, layered with an R&B-inspired vocal.

Becky Hill — “so boring!!!”

Becky Hill brings the bratty pop vibes on this track, which calls out fans who watch concerts through their phones instead of experiencing the moment. The song is upbeat, confrontational, and catchy in all the right ways, with a playful edge that channels the likes of Charli XCX and Reneé Rapp.

Tegan and Sara — “I Love Christmas”

We’re adding these bonus tracks we missed last week, but which has quickly jumped to the top of our holiday mix! The iconic queer Canadian pop duo dropped not one, but two new holiday-themed tracks: “I Love Christmas” and “A December to Remember.” The former is a bright indie-pop banger, while the latter leans into the nostalgia and sentimentality of the season.
