When you think of Eminem, this is probably the song that comes to mind.

“Lose Yourself” was released in 2002 as the theme song for the film 8 Mile, starring Eminem.

It spent an astonishing 12 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard charts, and won not only a Grammy but also the Academy Award—the first ever for a rap song.

8 Mile is a semi-autobiographical film based on his life.

In its theme song, Eminem puts into his own words his hunger and his intense focus on music.

It’s a perfect track to fire you up at the start of a new year.

Under The TableFIONA APPLE

Fiona Apple – Under The Table (Official Audio)
Under The TableFIONA APPLE

Singer-songwriter Fiona Apple released her first album in about eight years in April 2020.

She carries the weight of harsh childhood trauma, and the world she creates—both in her lyrics and in her sound—has a certain warped quality.

In today’s music industry, artistry isn’t often sought after, but she refuses to conform to those trends at all.

This song and album strongly convey the theme: “Don’t be afraid to raise your voice.” Highly recommended for anyone looking to turn over a new leaf this spring and become stronger.
