The Best Girl Groups You Should Be Listening to RN
If you really want to get into Little Mix, watch videos of some of their energy-packed live performances. Their fun, lively personalities make them all the more enjoyable.
If you like Bon Iver, listen to The Staves
This pick is different from the previous girl groups in that it isn’t focused on a pop sound. However, if you’re in need of some acoustic vibes, The Staves have some great songs for you.
Bon Iver‘s folky tone and solid harmonies on tracks like Skinny Love and Holocene have a lot in common with The Staves, a group made up of sisters. Songs like Mexico and Make It Holy will give you the same vibes as your favorite coffee shop’s playlist.
The Staves are a great group to give a try if you’re looking for something different from your favorite pop anthems.
If you like BTS, listen to Red Velvet
The idea of listening to a Korean pop group can be a little intimidating if you’re not already into the style of music. However, BTS is currently enjoying a larger American following with the success of their song Mic Drop and their performances on award shows like the AMAs. K-pop girl groups deserve their turn in the spotlight, too!
Red Velvet songs like Peek-A-Boo are so catchy and danceable that you’ll find you don’t need to understand all the words to enjoy them. Being a fan of K-pop is cool because the groups have their own sense of style as well, and usually perform intricate choreography in their music videos and live performances.
If you like Lorde, listen to HAIM
Another sister group, HAIM blends some rock with their pop sound. They combine some of the traditional elements of girl groups (choreography, coordinating outfits) with the driving sound of rock ‘n’ roll.
Like Lorde, HAIM gives off a total girl power vibe that is largely based on confidence and owning who you are. Songs like Lorde’s Supercut and HAIM’s Want You Back are perfect for driving around with the windows down.
