Which underrated ’90s songs deserve a spot on your playlist?
I love you always forever by Donna Lewis
Welsh singer Donna Lewis’ debut single ‘I Love You Always Forever’ hit the market in 1996. The song is unlike the flashy hits of the 2000s and was inspired by the novel ‘Love For Lydia’ by HE Bates. Although the song was a commercial success, today not many include it in their jam lists, which, we believe, is a travesty.
The Next Life by Erykah Badu
A legend that is not remembered enough, this is not Badu’s most famous hit. However, it’s the one you should add to your playlist. Part of Badu’s debut album, this one is for all the R&B lovers who can’t get enough of singers like HER and Kali Uchis.
A lighthouse from The Wallflowers
This is not an underrated hidden gem, but a song that won the Grammy for Best Rock Song in 1998. The song was written by the band’s lead vocalist, Jakob Dylan, son of Bob Dylan. The song will take you back to the times when bands were in fashion and drums dominated the music scene.
Yoo Hoo by Imperial Teen
As you’ll notice in its official music video, for fans of dark ’90s teen movies, this song will forever be linked to ‘Jawbreaker’, the film that features Rose McGowan as the most sinister bad girl since ‘Heathers’ . Fortunately, there is no more apt musical representation of the subtly intense power dynamics of teenage life than this seductive, breathy chant.
