7 Pride Playlists to Check Out on Spotify This Month
June is made extra special by the fact that we get to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+. It’s Pride Month: a time to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Riots, and support the ongoing civil rights movement for the members of the queer community, who are still rallying in places like the Philippines for equal rights.
While rooted in protest, it is a celebration, too. And here, we round up the playlists you can listen to all Pride Month long—known LGBTQIA+ anthems and hits by queer artists all included.
“Pride Party” by Spotify
Let the dance party commence! Turn the volume up and groove to the music of the revolutionaries, the allies, and the just plain fabulous artists from every generation. These flawless tracks are beyond perfect for Pride.
"Bahaghari" by Spotify
Entitled Bahaghari, Filipino for rainbow, this playlist obviously features local artists tossed in with international ones. Tune in for a steady mix of everything from bedroom beats, indie folk and dance pop. It’s a place you can discover fresh acts, too, like Paul Pablo, while getting reacquainted with old favorites like Tegan & Sara.
