The tour swept across North America in the late 90s and forever changed the music scene for female artists. Our two-hour playlist honours the voices that defined Lilith Fair, including Sheryl Crow, Tracy Chapman, the Indigo Girls, Paula Cole and Shawn Colvin.

The Strictly Soundtracks team dive into the rhythm, restless energy and music of Marty Supreme, the new film starring Timothée Chalamet as a ping pong-playing hustler who dreams of being a world champion. Although set in the 1950s, the soundtrack is powered by a collection of 80s synth-pop legends, including New Order, Tears for Fears, and Peter Gabriel.  Like the titular character, the soundtrack is confident, unpredictable, and always one step ahead.
