Every Wednesday, the ugly hug shares a playlist personally curated by an artist/band that we have been enjoying. This week we have a collection of songs put together by Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Annie Blackman. 

With both a gripping passion and a keen eye, Annie Blackman lattices the incongruent feelings of heartbreak, insecurities and maturing into the most vivid and beautiful lyrical stories and folk-tinged songs. Her latest EP Bug released back in 2023 is a brief, yet poignant display of the casualties that often go unnoticed in the grand scheme of it all. But the butterflies in our stomachs ought to know something is up when Annie’s lyrical intuition blends irresistibility with the relatable scenarios she recites, like a fist bump before bed by a lover, that stings just as much as solidifies our own confusing and giddy emotions.

Listen to Annie’s playlist here;
