Welcome to ‘Breaking Up’ - a podcast about break-ups, love, and pop culture hosted by Isabella Shields and Adam Benmakhlouf.

This week we’re talking about break-up songs from our break-up playlist, The Rain Helps/Thunder On. This week we’re looking at Isabella’s choices for this playlist (not necessarily her own break-up playlist) which really show up her 2000s pop energy, 2010 NME energy, and 2020 softboi energy. They are:

Stronger - Britney Spears

Fighter - Christina Aguilera

Hole in the Head - Sugababes

Dancing with Myself - The Donnas

The Winner Takes It All - ABBA

Are You Bored Yet - Wallows

I Can’t Stand You Anymore - Sleigh Bells

You’ll miss me when I’m not around - Grimes

Not In Love - Crystal Castles

Atomic Bomb - William Onyeabor vs. Hot Chip

Get Out - Frightened Rabbit

All in White - Vaccines

Pitseleh - Elliot Smith

Solitude - Billie Holliday

Two Slow Dancers - Mitski
