Parsons Playlists: I Can Buy Myself Flowers

Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Nicole (class of 2024) and features music by and for independent women.

I Can Buy Myself Flowers

This year has welcomed us with remarkable women in music, stepping up to show how much they are worth and how they don’t need no man! For starters, Miley Cyrus has given a new anthem to all women around the world who have ever been mistreated or underappreciated by their significant other, with her new song “Flowers”. This is a playlist for all the single ladies who have felt the need to roll their eyes at relatives and friends asking if they received any flowers for Valentine’s Day. An independent woman can, in fact, buy herself flowers.

Parsons Playlists: The Forgotten Sibling

Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student manager Eliana (class of 2024) and features tunes by less-famous siblings of famous singers.

The Forgotten Sibling

You’d be surprised how many famous singers have a less-famous sibling (or two!) that’s got a pretty established career of their own. Here’s a playlist for all the forgotten singers living in the shadow of their brother or sister. They deserve a time to shine.

Noah Cyrus already has a pretty large following and makes some great songs (imho), but she still hasn’t reached the caliber of her older sister, Miley.

Noah Cyrus – “I Just Want A Lover”

Noah Cyrus – “Lonely”

FINNEAS has always been loved by fans of his sister, Billie Eilish, but has recently made some great albums of his own. Don’t worry, though, he’s still writing and playing in all of her releases. 

Ashe & FINNEAS – “Till Forever Falls Apart”

FINNEAS – “Break My Heart Again”

Solange emerged from the background of Destiny’s Child with a vibrant solo career that has had its successes, but is yet to reach the height of her A-list sister, Beyoncé.

Solange – “Cranes in the Sky”

Solange – “Losing You”

Jamie Lynn Spears, the younger sister of Britney Spears, played Zoey on nick’s Zoey 101. Still, she never reached Britney-level success. Fun fact: her dad is named Jamie and her Mom is named Lynne. Lol. 

Jamie Lynn Spears – “Sleepover”

Jamie Lynn Spears – “How Could I Want More”

Julio Iglesias Jr. is the younger brother of singer Enrique Iglesias and the son of singer Julio Iglesias, so it’s a very musical family! Julio jr’s songs have done well, but none have amassed a following quite like Enrique’s Bailando. 

Abel the Kid & Julio Iglesias Jr. – “A Piece Of My Love” (feat. Snoop Dogg)

Julio Iglesias Jr. – “Abrázame”

Tito Jackson is an original member of the Jackson Five, turned soloist. Of course he’s no Michael, but he’s pretty darn good. 

Tito Jackson – “Get It Baby” (feat. Big Daddy Kane)

Tito Jackson – “Love One Another”
