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.
