Tia Wood: Music That Moves Me

Tia Wood’s Music That Moves Me playlist is proof that motivational tracks don’t need to be high-octane or four-to-the-floor. Sure, the Cree and Salish singer-songwriter has picked some irresistibly energetic and joyful songs here—not least “Oysters in My Pocket” from Australian alt duo Royel Otis as well as Redbone’s ’70s rock ’n’ soul classic “Come and Get Your Love”—but many of her genre- and era-spanning choices spin warm, languid grooves that you’ll find are just as effective at keeping you centred and focused when you most need it. Press play on a selection that has deep cuts from Queen and Eagles sat alongside country classics by Wanda Jackson and Buck Owens, plus songs from today’s pop, R&B and alt trailblazers including Leon Bridges, Lady Wray, Dominic Fike and Becky and the Birds.
