I Should Have CheatedKeyshia Cole
This is a heart-wrenching ballad sung by American R&B singer Keyshia Cole.
It portrays a woman’s emotions as she is constantly suspected of cheating by her lover and, unable to prove her innocence, laments that she might as well have truly betrayed him.
The despair and anger of not being believed gradually morph into a forbidden desire, capturing the very moment love is corroded by suspicion.

Anyone who has suffered from unfair accusations will likely deeply relate to that helpless feeling.

This song by American R&B singer Kiana Ledé conveys her aching emotions.
Carried by a melancholic melody, it tells the story of a heart shattered by the irresponsibility of someone she trusted.

The way she wavers between blaming the other person and being unable to let go of her feelings is something anyone who has experienced unrequited love can painfully relate to.
Kiana Ledé’s soulful voice seems to envelop and soothe this unbearable suffering.
If Not Now, Then When?King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

Fans were floored by their astonishing creative speed and ideas, asking, “How is this level of quality possible when produced remotely during the pandemic?” Its psychedelic sonic world—where funk, metal, and folk swirl like a kaleidoscope—offers a thoroughly unpredictable musical experience.
Many listeners also felt their ethos in the story of a track winning an environmental music award and the band donating the prize money.
Surrender to this genre-defying sonic adventure, and you’ll be pulled into a world like no other.

Love’s depth can be such that, even knowing someone will get hurt, you still can’t stop.
Millie Jackson’s cover version was used in the film Cleopatra Jones.
When you’re struggling with a love that can’t be neatly justified by what’s “right,” this song may seep deep into your heart.
