Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student manager Amy (class of 2025) and features songs inspired by Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year.
Peach Fuzz
Another year, another Pantone color playlist! This is my third annual Pantone playlist, and this playlist might be my favorite. 2024’s color of the year is Peach Fuzz, which Pantone’s website describes as a color that “captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others. It’s a velvety gentle peach tone whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul. Pantone collaborated with multiple companies this year, including Cariuma Sneakers, a ripe peach flavored tea from TEALEAVES’, Peach Fuzz colored Polaroid film, and a peach-colored lip oil from Shades by Shan.
Here are 15 songs that I think are reminiscent of the color peach fuzz:
Kacey Musgraves – “Velvet Elvis”
Edison Lighthouse – “Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)”
Florence + The Machine – “Delilah”
Stevie Wonder – “You Are the Sunshine of My Life”
Etta James – “A Sunday Kind of Love”
Norah Jones – “Come Away With Me”
Lenny Kravitz – “It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over”
Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra – “Somethin’ Stupid”
Aretha Franklin – “I Say A Little Prayer”
Aretha Franklin – “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”
Katrina & the Waves – “Walking on Sunshine”
