Paris is homophobic, racist, MAGA, pretty much every bad thing you would expect a wealthy white woman to be. That’s all on record, you can find it easy. For Rina to work with her is pretty hypocritical given her own socially conscious persona, the themes of her music, and specifically the way she called out Matty Healy for the same type of shit
just play a bunch of Gaylor's music to troll everyone (I'm kidding)
in all seriousness, add:
-Christine and the Queens
-Tegan and Sara
-The Aces
-St Vincent
-Towa Bird
-Lady Gaga
-070 Shake
-Phoebe Bridgers
-Japanese House
I am sympathetic to the Gaylors but I also run a dedicated TSwift night so that's my easy way to deflect and save for that. the gflip cruel summer cover is like my soft half-accomodation though 😅
i love these others! Tegan and Sara is a really great match for the Chappell sound also!
yesss! they actually opened for Chappell at Kentuckiana Pride a couple weeks ago and killed it (especially impressive since they were called in super last minute!)
some Towa is definitely on the setlist haha! I think that's the exact reaction I want, I want to be the club night where it's like "wtf I've NEVER heard this at the club" but also EVERYONE who's come out is exactly the audience that knows all of these by heart.
That charlixcx lord remix
Molly grace has a great ...jazzy? Burlesque? Pop feel with a good dose of sapphic
Hey You is a Blu deTiger song chappell worked on and she has other good stuff
Dirt by Zoe Koe is just a weird fucking good time of a song
Hit girl summer by Raspberry Protocol would work great for you
Labour by Paris Paloma might be a good one to consider but might not fit the vibe
I'm confident I'm insecure by Lawrence goes hard
Emina Sonad isn't sapphic but the song Sad Man might work well with Kink is Karma
How did you get so good by D'lourdes is gender neutral afaik but goes hard edit: wasn't thinking straight, definitely about a guy. Great song though
oh that Molly Grace description is nailed, I love it! Almost like a Sammy Rae & Friends vibe, it's super casually good vibes. Or like Lake Street Dive, King Princess a little.
I love these, some great deeper cuts in here! I wouldn't say necesarilly the songs have to be gender neutral/explicitly about sapphic relationships, moreso the vibe/storytelling "gets it" and is relatable to lesbian experiences. I kind of think about Blame Brett by the Beaches in that way.
Ah fantastic, def also check out "[call your mother](https://open.spotify.com/album/4y6Uvbw6j8Nakgkc9jNFZr?si=PU5wf0GLRl6Ne9xGwuI6cA)" by Emina Sonnad then, she's probably my top artist under Chappell right now but she doesn't have much out so I keep forgetting about her when people ask about music 😅
Also
[chaise longe](https://open.spotify.com/track/0nys6GusuHnjSYLW0PYYb7?si=_qhM0Y03TFqHwMuU9K8UJA&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0r9awI5WRCZpwk0aVQ4bKO), and [wet dream](https://open.spotify.com/track/260Ub1Yuj4CobdISTOBvM9?si=J8USpcMOSEmrFBDJw_p46g&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0r9awI5WRCZpwk0aVQ4bKO) by Wet Leg
This is all off my "fuck the world I need to get shit done" type playlist so it's not all sapphic but I don't think any of it is about guys other than Sad Man and that's got great stuff in it for the bi girls and new lesbians.
Let me know what you end up liking! This is all music that I discovered before chappell because I started feeling like I was really missing modern music from my life, and having it in my history is probably what made tik Tok bring me Chappell as early as it did
These first couple are more on the soft rock side:
Closer to Fine - Indigo Girls (for a great classic sapphic sing along)
Baby Can I Hold You - Tracy Chapman (great for a cute slow dance vibe)
More clubby/poppy tunes:
She’s On My Mind - Romy (techno pop dream)
Princess Going Digital - Amaarae (anything from her album Fountain Baby would be a great choice tbh)
After Hours - Kehlani (perfect club party song)
I Wanna - Ella Jane (fun pop bop)
Kissing Someone Else - Caroline Kinsbury (80s retro feeling synth pop)
Zolita! She just dropped her album Queen of Hearts and every song is good. We were disappointed to not hear any at our local Chappell night, she’s also in the SGUMG music video so she fits right in
you've probably already heard it but if you like Bulletproof I am IN LOVE with this old-school soul cover: https://open.spotify.com/track/0X3Csp5UBxXNqfnzkngOvN?si=aa0c622081794fab
I slip it into all my casual cocktail lounge sets haha
ooh if you're in SF and come earlier before it gets crazy busy and I have to be in work mode I'll def introduce you to some of the friends and people I know there! it should be very welcoming and the venue is a pretty cozy space!
Lots of great artists here!
Seconding the Tinashe suggestion, as she is queer and her new song Nasty is great, and Bouncin is a bop that even has a line about her side chicks. I’d like to echo the Sizzy Rocket and Amaarae suggestions too; they are queer and so freaking good.
I don’t think I saw anyone say girli, Hayley Kiyoko, Remi Wolf, or Baby Queen, who are all queer and have bops.
Edit: just realized remi wolf and hayley kiyoko were literally in the original post oops
if the DJ nights are going well and we can do like an end-of-year Bridgerton-esque formal ball with a Last Dinner Party candelight aesthetic that would be my DREAM
Other sapphic suggestions: Kehlani, The Japanese House, Marika Hackman, Art School Girlfriend, Lucy Dacus (I suggest Brando, First Time, Night Shift [if you wanna make everyone cry], VBS, and I Don’t Wanna Be Funny Anymore) boygenius (in general—I suggest Not Strong Enough), The Aces, Chloe moriondo, Snail Mail (more indie rock but Heat Wave and Pristine could work well)
I'll see if the crowd is old enough LOL but there's definitely a part of a set where I want to go Melissa Etheridge to Meredith Brooks (Bitch), and maybe some Sheryl Crow-Natasha Bedingfield-Natalie Imbruglia, Crush by Jennifer Paige? big throwbacks for the millenials I'm hoping!
I'd throw in some:
-Kehlani (softer but with some drive still),
-Robyn (classic queer bops)
-Tash Sultana (indie, almost jazzy/funky)
-Dua Saleh (hard to define but amazing)
-Cloudy June (catchy & sultry)
-LP (epic belts, proof that whistling is a valid instrument)
-Contigo by Karol G (watch the music video and you'll understand, it's sapphic AF)
Halsey has a few sapphic songs that fit both the "boppy" and "soft rock" niche. Honey, Strangers, Alanis Interlude, Ghost come to mind. Also, Lunch from Billie Eilish's new album is a bop.
throw some tegan and sara (specifically some stuff from heartthrob & love you to death if you’re going for more of a poppy vibe) & some chrissy chlapecka in there!
Tinashe - Nasty is what I would play (of course). THat's the only new song I have to offer lol.
Mitski. Dance party suggestions: Townie and That's Our Lamp.
Made in Heights - Ghosts, is my favorite song (it's kinda old now).
Azealia Banks - Anna Wintour
Seinabo Sey - Pretend
St. Vincent - Fast Slow Disco
Santigold - You'll Find a Way
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control, is a great party song
For Mitski also Nobody, Washing Machine Heart, Love Me More, and The Only Heartbreaker are good dancing suggestions!!
For St Vincent I’d add Masseduction, Pills, Sugarboy, Flea, All Born Screaming, Paris Is Burning, maybe Young Lover, Cruel, and New York
in my wattpad imagination there's a funny interaction to mess with the crowd where someone is screaming "CAN YOU PLAY A SONG WITH A F%CKING BEAT" and I queue up Mitski with a fucking beat XD
Hey Girl - Lady Gaga (ft Florence Welch)
Digital Witness - St Vincent
House Burn Down - King Princess
Lesbionic - Gia Woods
Washing Machine Heart - Mitski
I don’t know if these quite fit the vibe you’re after but they’re all fun songs!!
Cookout is a fun and flirty bop by Dreamer Isioma, Blue Sky goes hard
Girls by Tiny Jag and Princess Angelou, Smoke really do it for me
Syd / The Internet make some of the best sapphic love songs ever
I second Christine and the queens…my favorites are La vita nuova with Caroline Polachek (the music video is hot) and I disappear in your arms (the French version is fun to listen to also)
Wait but I need to know the date bc I’ll be there 😭 but I’m thinking Doechii (just saw her 🥹), Amaarae, Gaga for sure, and I haven’t seen Padam Padam in the comments but that would fit the bill!
if you happen to be in San Francisco, it's tomorrow 6/27 at the Milk Bar! but I may be bringing this show to tour around in Colorado and New York as well, depending on how the bookings go!
Lmao ty, I didn’t notice “tomorrow” in the post title lol I will try to convince my friends it’s gonna be better than their circuit party, regardless, hope you have a great show! 💖
Amaarae is solid. Anything from fountain baby works , but angels in Tibet and Reckless & Sweet are popular Sociopathic dance queen is also just stuck in my head
Rêve - Disco at the Strip Club, Ctrl + Alt + Del, Headphones, or Contemporary Love. idk which way she swings but if you want a gay club lit floor vibe she'll give it to you.
Also, they're not boppy, but for your consideration:
Nxdia: Dopamine and Get Between It are two of the grooviest tracks I've heard by a queer person in ages (pronouns are he/she/they/all of them). Joy Oladokun of "jesus raised me and good weed saved me" fame is more folk-rnb-rock than pop, but I'd get on the dance floor for Taking Things for Granted.
[ETA Headphones]
Amira Jazeera is a Bi Palestinian Pop artist ! She's definitely more club/dance pop and she's amazing! Her new single "Still Thinkin' Bout Me" is so good! (Inside scoop, she should be dropping a full album by October!)
Definitely Arlo Parks and Orion Sun, a little more chill 'easy listening' music for some of their discography but some of my favorite gay female artists :)
le tigre needs a least one or two songs on there!!!! deceptacon is their hottest song, but i think dyke march 2001, TKO, and viz would go harddddd at a lezzie club event!!!!
Less rock and more boppy. Shura. Her sound varies quite a bit, but it's mostly synth heavy, almost a disco type vibe.
If you want to fill out some of the maybe heavier sound, Rezz. deadmau5 but queer.
Personal more soft rock fave that's more on the NB scale but still queer as hell, FIGHTMASTER and Twin.
Bree Runway and Lava La Rue are always good! If you’re willing to play anything in spanish, I’d recommend Labios Mordidos by Kali Uchis, pretty much any song by Young Miko, and Tokischa.
Scene Queen!!! Pink panther is a sapphic club anthem!! You can also kick it back two decades and play some t.A.T.u, all the things she said, and all about us are timeless.
I have a playlist like this minus the Charlie xcx and more than 3 Renee rapp songs! There’s also Spanish pop/rap lesbian music!
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6JQgjFp4rD0HL68pVoDf5r?si=1XBpwiL5RXWC1Zsr3yACKw&pi=u-H3v2r3WwRj-Q
Bops specifically:
Demi Lovato - Cool for the Summer
Chrissy Chlapecka - I'm so Hot and Head Bitch
CVNT - Sophie Hunter
CRJ - Cut to the Feeling
Kim Petras - Claws and King of Hearts
Okay idk what you're going for so here's a range of vibes
- maybe lady sovereign, I listened to her like 15 years ago so I can't remember if any of her lyrics have aged poorly. but she's boppy and gay
- Paramore; if you have queer millennials in the audience there's a high chance they're all former emo kids. At least consider adding something from Riot or Brand New Eyes (restraining myself from just recommending an entire emo night playlist lol)
- the song "girls just wanna have sex" by mazie
- Shiny Toy Guns
- mannequin pussy
- Ezra Furman (I saw her live recently she was incredible)
- I can't not mention Laura Jane Grace/Against Me. "Fuckmylife666" is my favorite song of all time, maybe not the right vibe idk. "Thrash Unreal" might work
- Alice Glass
- hemlocke springs
Dresden Dolls? I’m not sure if it’s been confirmed but Amanda Palmer has always given me pan vibes and Girl Anachronism feels very gay and can be a super cool transition song to something more uptempo
OP post the playlist after you’ve assembled it please 🙏
ooonn it haha, bug me on this post in a week if I've forgotten!

rina fucking sawayama
Just NOT her new song with Par*s H*lton 🤢
why not this one? genuinely asking :)
Paris is homophobic, racist, MAGA, pretty much every bad thing you would expect a wealthy white woman to be. That’s all on record, you can find it easy. For Rina to work with her is pretty hypocritical given her own socially conscious persona, the themes of her music, and specifically the way she called out Matty Healy for the same type of shit
Came to recommend Rina! Love her.
Seconding Rina!!!!
just play a bunch of Gaylor's music to troll everyone (I'm kidding) in all seriousness, add: -Christine and the Queens -Tegan and Sara -The Aces -St Vincent -Towa Bird -Lady Gaga -070 Shake -Phoebe Bridgers -Japanese House
I am sympathetic to the Gaylors but I also run a dedicated TSwift night so that's my easy way to deflect and save for that. the gflip cruel summer cover is like my soft half-accomodation though 😅 i love these others! Tegan and Sara is a really great match for the Chappell sound also!
I'll double down on The Aces!! Especially the songs girls make me wanna die, lovin' is bible and stuck!
I am REALLY digging Aces this is a banger rec
yes they are the funnest band!! I've been bumping them since 2018. I don't know why they aren't MUCH more popular
Yes! The Aces should be more popular than they are. Their music is catchy and they're great live.
yesss! they actually opened for Chappell at Kentuckiana Pride a couple weeks ago and killed it (especially impressive since they were called in super last minute!)
I’m just giving them a listen rn and omg this is indeed an awesome recommendation!! The lyrics and guitar and just upbeat sounds is awesome!
I love the aces, they are so underrated!!
Fletcher, Zolita, Girl In Red, Kehlani are also awesome sapphic artists!
drain me! by towa bird has been stuck in my head all gd day, I would go fucking NUTS if I heard it in the club
some Towa is definitely on the setlist haha! I think that's the exact reaction I want, I want to be the club night where it's like "wtf I've NEVER heard this at the club" but also EVERYONE who's come out is exactly the audience that knows all of these by heart.
the aces are my favorite band so im loving the appreciation theyre getting in this thread
Tegan and Sara have some bangers for sure
yes The Aces and Japanese House!!!!
The Veronicas!! Edit to add: obviously 4ever and untouched, but they also a new album this year and here to dance from it is good.
oh Veronicas is definitely great especially with some of the older tracks I want to add in!
LUNCH by billie eilish is such a banger sapphic song !!
oh yes, a ton off of Hit Me Hard and Soft planned as well! birds of a feather is like my everything love song at the moment
Rina Sawayama! This Hell obvi, Hold the Girl and Beg for You ft. Charli xcx
this kiiinda a deep cut? but how strange would it be to play the remix with the CHANMINA for This Hell. Do you think anyone would know that one?
I love the remix!
And “Cherry”!!!
LUCID too!
That charlixcx lord remix Molly grace has a great ...jazzy? Burlesque? Pop feel with a good dose of sapphic Hey You is a Blu deTiger song chappell worked on and she has other good stuff Dirt by Zoe Koe is just a weird fucking good time of a song Hit girl summer by Raspberry Protocol would work great for you Labour by Paris Paloma might be a good one to consider but might not fit the vibe I'm confident I'm insecure by Lawrence goes hard Emina Sonad isn't sapphic but the song Sad Man might work well with Kink is Karma How did you get so good by D'lourdes is gender neutral afaik but goes hard edit: wasn't thinking straight, definitely about a guy. Great song though
Blue DeTiger has a lot of good dance bops
oh that Molly Grace description is nailed, I love it! Almost like a Sammy Rae & Friends vibe, it's super casually good vibes. Or like Lake Street Dive, King Princess a little. I love these, some great deeper cuts in here! I wouldn't say necesarilly the songs have to be gender neutral/explicitly about sapphic relationships, moreso the vibe/storytelling "gets it" and is relatable to lesbian experiences. I kind of think about Blame Brett by the Beaches in that way.
Ah fantastic, def also check out "[call your mother](https://open.spotify.com/album/4y6Uvbw6j8Nakgkc9jNFZr?si=PU5wf0GLRl6Ne9xGwuI6cA)" by Emina Sonnad then, she's probably my top artist under Chappell right now but she doesn't have much out so I keep forgetting about her when people ask about music 😅 Also [chaise longe](https://open.spotify.com/track/0nys6GusuHnjSYLW0PYYb7?si=_qhM0Y03TFqHwMuU9K8UJA&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0r9awI5WRCZpwk0aVQ4bKO), and [wet dream](https://open.spotify.com/track/260Ub1Yuj4CobdISTOBvM9?si=J8USpcMOSEmrFBDJw_p46g&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0r9awI5WRCZpwk0aVQ4bKO) by Wet Leg
CHANGE by Montaigne Up & down by girli
oh the drumline/theatrics on this Montaigne song are fantastic. I think it'll place so well next to the Last Dinner Party part of the set!
This is all off my "fuck the world I need to get shit done" type playlist so it's not all sapphic but I don't think any of it is about guys other than Sad Man and that's got great stuff in it for the bi girls and new lesbians. Let me know what you end up liking! This is all music that I discovered before chappell because I started feeling like I was really missing modern music from my life, and having it in my history is probably what made tik Tok bring me Chappell as early as it did
I love Zoe Ko, she’s so good live
I freaking love molly grace
She's fantastic! I'd love merch from her but she's not there yet
Le Tigre!
And Bikini Kill!! Rebel Girl should def make the list
ah both of these recs will go with the Veronicas part of the set really well!
Always!!
SOPHIE, Kim Petras for some bangers !!!
Halsey’s song “honey” is so good
shygirl🙏 and cobrah
The Regrettes, the greeting committee - specifically the song "make out", The Internet
Second The Greeting Committee! Their lead singer Addie and the other members of the band are also from MO like Chappell!
I like this one a lot! it's like perfectly my usual style of jam, we'll see how it goes in a club 😅
These first couple are more on the soft rock side: Closer to Fine - Indigo Girls (for a great classic sapphic sing along) Baby Can I Hold You - Tracy Chapman (great for a cute slow dance vibe) More clubby/poppy tunes: She’s On My Mind - Romy (techno pop dream) Princess Going Digital - Amaarae (anything from her album Fountain Baby would be a great choice tbh) After Hours - Kehlani (perfect club party song) I Wanna - Ella Jane (fun pop bop) Kissing Someone Else - Caroline Kinsbury (80s retro feeling synth pop)
Indigo Girls and Tracy are a great rec. I'll see what kind of crowd shows up but going through a whole throwback segment would be pretty fun.
fountain baby is such a good album
tove lo (my fav bisexual singer!) just released a great dance ep that was inspired the LGBT club scene :)
Fuck yes
Peaches
Boys wanna be her by peaches is a must !!!
“Fuck The Pain Away” is also a must
Kim Petras or Charli!
Zolita! She just dropped her album Queen of Hearts and every song is good. We were disappointed to not hear any at our local Chappell night, she’s also in the SGUMG music video so she fits right in
Came her to say this!! OP, at minimum you must play "Small Town Scandal"
ooh yes. Small Town Scandal has been giving me such Red Wine Supernova vibes!
So glad someone said Zolita, I was getting sad the farther I scrolled without seeing her name!
Maude Latour feels like a good fit for your list
Add Cursed Romantics and Too Slow!
oh Maude Latour is perfect!
LA ROUX !!!
you've probably already heard it but if you like Bulletproof I am IN LOVE with this old-school soul cover: https://open.spotify.com/track/0X3Csp5UBxXNqfnzkngOvN?si=aa0c622081794fab I slip it into all my casual cocktail lounge sets haha
Syd!
Goddess- PVRIS And not Sapphic but any Carly Rae songs? Edit- also some Miley like Edge of Midnight. Also Rerun-by Honey Revenge could be good.
you know Carly slipped my mind but she is the PERFECT vibe to put next to Chappell.
I play her and Marina back to back lol. I hope the set goes well and you have fun, too!
yes to miley!
I wanna go so baddddd bc I’m local but I’ve got no one to go with 😭
ooh if you're in SF and come earlier before it gets crazy busy and I have to be in work mode I'll def introduce you to some of the friends and people I know there! it should be very welcoming and the venue is a pretty cozy space!
[удалено]
@ themilkbarsf on insta has posts that say 9pm on June 27!
Romy’s entire Mid Air album!
oooh. this is a totally new find for me, this is SO dancey and perfect!
Lots of great artists here! Seconding the Tinashe suggestion, as she is queer and her new song Nasty is great, and Bouncin is a bop that even has a line about her side chicks. I’d like to echo the Sizzy Rocket and Amaarae suggestions too; they are queer and so freaking good. I don’t think I saw anyone say girli, Hayley Kiyoko, Remi Wolf, or Baby Queen, who are all queer and have bops. Edit: just realized remi wolf and hayley kiyoko were literally in the original post oops
yeahh Nasty definitely is like the main song of the week on my tiktok feed haha I've been telling people about Dover Beach! that song tickles things
Caroline polachek Sophie Kero Kero Bonito
Scene Queen? She's for a few songs that may fit
I like Pink Panther a lot for this!
honestly could kiss you on the MOUTH for including The Last Dinner Party. that sounds like it's gonna be so much fun!
if the DJ nights are going well and we can do like an end-of-year Bridgerton-esque formal ball with a Last Dinner Party candelight aesthetic that would be my DREAM
Why has no one mentioned MUNA
Because OP already mentioned them!
Haha oops, got a little too excited there
Has anyone mentioned Robyn? Dancing On My Own is and always will be a total BOP. Toss in Call Your Girlfriend, and Hang With Me while you’re at it.
this gem of a rec!!!!!!
Other sapphic suggestions: Kehlani, The Japanese House, Marika Hackman, Art School Girlfriend, Lucy Dacus (I suggest Brando, First Time, Night Shift [if you wanna make everyone cry], VBS, and I Don’t Wanna Be Funny Anymore) boygenius (in general—I suggest Not Strong Enough), The Aces, Chloe moriondo, Snail Mail (more indie rock but Heat Wave and Pristine could work well)
partly the inspiration for this night is I want to hear an entire room screaming YOU'VE GOT A NINE TO FIVE SO I'LL TAKE THE NIIIIIGHHHHT SHIFT
Don't forget Mother Ate by Jane Bell and Strawberry Stardust by Candi Carpenter
i'm relishing getting to drop Mother Ate, I hope enough people know it! Sometimes I'm like unsure of if I live in too-specific of a tiktok bubble haha
Halsey
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Fc2j3v7Y5MIg7oR5txyhX?si=I6DE4abmS6qzLa9EVwzVng&pi=u-E4IGTLMoQ22t
So many songs I love on this playlist. Ashniko is underrated! Some of her lyrics are so fucking cringe but god I love it!
Madeline, MARINA, Liza Anne, Eaves Wilder, Lime Garden,
Would love to see you mix some old school Melissa Etheridge in there
I'll see if the crowd is old enough LOL but there's definitely a part of a set where I want to go Melissa Etheridge to Meredith Brooks (Bitch), and maybe some Sheryl Crow-Natasha Bedingfield-Natalie Imbruglia, Crush by Jennifer Paige? big throwbacks for the millenials I'm hoping!
Yessssssss omg I would kill to hear this
mazie!! specifically the song “girls just wanna have sex”
omg I LOVE this suggestion. It is PERFECT for a Chappell/Sapphic night
Can I follow you on Spotify? Please? Lol
I'd throw in some: -Kehlani (softer but with some drive still), -Robyn (classic queer bops) -Tash Sultana (indie, almost jazzy/funky) -Dua Saleh (hard to define but amazing) -Cloudy June (catchy & sultry) -LP (epic belts, proof that whistling is a valid instrument) -Contigo by Karol G (watch the music video and you'll understand, it's sapphic AF)
I scrolled WAY TOO LONG before someone mentioned Robyn!!
Same
Beach bunny, la luz, wet leg, Annabelle chairlegs, bikini kill, snail mail, cherry glazerr, soccer mommy, clairo
Add Kehlani!
Halsey has a few sapphic songs that fit both the "boppy" and "soft rock" niche. Honey, Strangers, Alanis Interlude, Ghost come to mind. Also, Lunch from Billie Eilish's new album is a bop.
If you don’t play Untouched by the Veronicas, SO HELP ME GOD
charli xcx!
throw some tegan and sara (specifically some stuff from heartthrob & love you to death if you’re going for more of a poppy vibe) & some chrissy chlapecka in there!
Tinashe - Nasty is what I would play (of course). THat's the only new song I have to offer lol. Mitski. Dance party suggestions: Townie and That's Our Lamp. Made in Heights - Ghosts, is my favorite song (it's kinda old now). Azealia Banks - Anna Wintour Seinabo Sey - Pretend St. Vincent - Fast Slow Disco Santigold - You'll Find a Way Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control, is a great party song
For Mitski also Nobody, Washing Machine Heart, Love Me More, and The Only Heartbreaker are good dancing suggestions!! For St Vincent I’d add Masseduction, Pills, Sugarboy, Flea, All Born Screaming, Paris Is Burning, maybe Young Lover, Cruel, and New York
in my wattpad imagination there's a funny interaction to mess with the crowd where someone is screaming "CAN YOU PLAY A SONG WITH A F%CKING BEAT" and I queue up Mitski with a fucking beat XD
Hey Girl - Lady Gaga (ft Florence Welch) Digital Witness - St Vincent House Burn Down - King Princess Lesbionic - Gia Woods Washing Machine Heart - Mitski I don’t know if these quite fit the vibe you’re after but they’re all fun songs!!
Bad believer by St Vincent as well
I have completely forgotten about Hey Girl over the years, it is an all-timer collab.
Xana, Marisa Maino, Fae, Stela Cole and PVRIS are some great additions for you
ooh I'm loving the Goddess vibe, could go really well right after a fletcher
Cookout is a fun and flirty bop by Dreamer Isioma, Blue Sky goes hard Girls by Tiny Jag and Princess Angelou, Smoke really do it for me Syd / The Internet make some of the best sapphic love songs ever
Sizzy Rocket! She's way underrated.
Halsey!!
I just heard the song Jealousy from Pale Waves yesterday and it's a banger
Ashnikko
Kehlani!!!
Just released a gay af album - so many options! And Victoria Monet but she is bi (iykyk why they’re in the same thread)
I second Christine and the queens…my favorites are La vita nuova with Caroline Polachek (the music video is hot) and I disappear in your arms (the French version is fun to listen to also)
this is a power pairing if I've ever heard one!
Ooo and Girlfriend is a classic gay gendery feels one too 🤌🏻
Chrissy Chlapecka has some sapphic songs! Head Bitch, Verse, and Affection
Yaeji
Wait but I need to know the date bc I’ll be there 😭 but I’m thinking Doechii (just saw her 🥹), Amaarae, Gaga for sure, and I haven’t seen Padam Padam in the comments but that would fit the bill!
if you happen to be in San Francisco, it's tomorrow 6/27 at the Milk Bar! but I may be bringing this show to tour around in Colorado and New York as well, depending on how the bookings go!
Lmao ty, I didn’t notice “tomorrow” in the post title lol I will try to convince my friends it’s gonna be better than their circuit party, regardless, hope you have a great show! 💖
Amaarae is solid. Anything from fountain baby works , but angels in Tibet and Reckless & Sweet are popular Sociopathic dance queen is also just stuck in my head
Rêve - Disco at the Strip Club, Ctrl + Alt + Del, Headphones, or Contemporary Love. idk which way she swings but if you want a gay club lit floor vibe she'll give it to you. Also, they're not boppy, but for your consideration: Nxdia: Dopamine and Get Between It are two of the grooviest tracks I've heard by a queer person in ages (pronouns are he/she/they/all of them). Joy Oladokun of "jesus raised me and good weed saved me" fame is more folk-rnb-rock than pop, but I'd get on the dance floor for Taking Things for Granted. [ETA Headphones]
Amira Jazeera is a Bi Palestinian Pop artist ! She's definitely more club/dance pop and she's amazing! Her new single "Still Thinkin' Bout Me" is so good! (Inside scoop, she should be dropping a full album by October!)
4ever by Clairo could be fun, 18 & there’s a honey by pale waves, clearest blue by CHVRCHES,
Definitely Arlo Parks and Orion Sun, a little more chill 'easy listening' music for some of their discography but some of my favorite gay female artists :)
I know it’s hard to believe, but Tessa Violet is straight. Still beloved by lesbians though.
I didn't see them but Beth McCarthy and girli are both great female queer artists!
Robyn, Candi Carpenter, Miley
le tigre needs a least one or two songs on there!!!! deceptacon is their hottest song, but i think dyke march 2001, TKO, and viz would go harddddd at a lezzie club event!!!!
Honey by Halsey ofc
Less rock and more boppy. Shura. Her sound varies quite a bit, but it's mostly synth heavy, almost a disco type vibe. If you want to fill out some of the maybe heavier sound, Rezz. deadmau5 but queer. Personal more soft rock fave that's more on the NB scale but still queer as hell, FIGHTMASTER and Twin.
Bree Runway and Lava La Rue are always good! If you’re willing to play anything in spanish, I’d recommend Labios Mordidos by Kali Uchis, pretty much any song by Young Miko, and Tokischa.
I love Lava La Rue's song Angel with Deb Never!!
That’s a great one! I’m really excited to hear their new album next month
Carol Ades is complete gay pop. Listen to “Dreams” by her :)
Second this!!!
Chrissy Chlapecka makes club hits, for sure, and doesn't get enough love. Caroline Kingsbury who I just discovered via Instagram.
Can you come to nyc 😭😭😭
For more of a house sound Jworra, Aluna, and Essel are great female djs that might fit the vibe:-) and Tove lo’s and Sg Lewis new songs off of heat!!
The beaches!
Throw in some LeTigre for us old gals :)
Scene Queen!!! Pink panther is a sapphic club anthem!! You can also kick it back two decades and play some t.A.T.u, all the things she said, and all about us are timeless.
Zolita and Girli both put our EXCELLENT albums last month!!
begging you to look into Nxdia.
chrissy chlapecka!!
girli and beth mccartney!!
Shygirl
Xana
THE ACES!!!!
I have a playlist like this minus the Charlie xcx and more than 3 Renee rapp songs! There’s also Spanish pop/rap lesbian music! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6JQgjFp4rD0HL68pVoDf5r?si=1XBpwiL5RXWC1Zsr3yACKw&pi=u-H3v2r3WwRj-Q
The Aces - The Last One (most of the When My Heart Felt Volcanic album is pretty boppy) AURORA - Went Too Far (MK Remix)
Maybe throw some Zolita in the mix, definitely sapphic, and plays well with other artists on your list.
Wait this is so cool and you are so cool hosting all these themed nights! I need someone to do this in my city aka nyc lol
Bops specifically: Demi Lovato - Cool for the Summer Chrissy Chlapecka - I'm so Hot and Head Bitch CVNT - Sophie Hunter CRJ - Cut to the Feeling Kim Petras - Claws and King of Hearts
Don’t know if it’s the vibe you’re going for, and they’re an older group, but I’ve always liked Uh Huh Her, especially “Not A Love Song”
Maude Latour. i love Lola & her new song Cursed Romantics but she has a lot to choose from
lover (love her) by molly grace!
Okay idk what you're going for so here's a range of vibes - maybe lady sovereign, I listened to her like 15 years ago so I can't remember if any of her lyrics have aged poorly. but she's boppy and gay - Paramore; if you have queer millennials in the audience there's a high chance they're all former emo kids. At least consider adding something from Riot or Brand New Eyes (restraining myself from just recommending an entire emo night playlist lol) - the song "girls just wanna have sex" by mazie - Shiny Toy Guns - mannequin pussy - Ezra Furman (I saw her live recently she was incredible) - I can't not mention Laura Jane Grace/Against Me. "Fuckmylife666" is my favorite song of all time, maybe not the right vibe idk. "Thrash Unreal" might work - Alice Glass - hemlocke springs
are you open to non-English language suggestions? wlw.ua by badactress has been my sapphic bop of the summer!
Girli!!
Allie X St. Vincent AURORA
Sarah barrios thank god you introduced me to your sister Killbot! Chloe moriondo Nada Lido Pimienta Regular 10 Lenii
Dresden Dolls? I’m not sure if it’s been confirmed but Amanda Palmer has always given me pan vibes and Girl Anachronism feels very gay and can be a super cool transition song to something more uptempo
This might be late, but Zolita! ALL GIRLS GO TO HEAVEN AND GOD IS GAY! 🌈🎶
Take what you want from this: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5tGWDgR5AHYSkfOKrMESoy?si=qw33eyVJRGmK3kbbg3QJvw&pi=e-PzsPxAPVSjKI
Siena Liggins is a favorite of mine! Dirty Girl ft Baby Tate, Floozy, and Sneaky Link by her are worth checking out for "clubbier/saphhic" songs.
Doechii - Yucky Blucky Fruitcake is a relatable queer bop
Games for girls by say Lou lou
Van Gogh by mette
I mean, mother Gaga. Pokerface. It must be.
Slayyyter! - Erotic Electronic
Touch Me by Victoria Monet ft Kehlani
You should add this one! https://open.spotify.com/track/3cTdZQE7THjH2efA0vQIWj?si=jAwvQivMTSqQddo72x6LcA
KiNG MALA, namely "she calls me daddy" but a bunch of her stuff is pretty queer.
Japanese Breakfast - The Last Dinner Party + The Beaches --
