    Tbh, I could listen to everything Pogo's ever made on repeat from September through to February, but I reckon "Forget" is his most November song. It's dreamy, wistful and interspersed heavily with Disney which is how I like my November thank you very much.

    2. "Cotton Eye Joe" by The Sweeplings

    3. Bonnie and Clyde by Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg

    My November aesthetic summed up: berets, sexy French and trying to copy Brigitte's hairdos.

    This song also sits nicely between autumn and winter vibes which is fitting for November, because everyone has strong opinions on which season November is part of. For the record, it's autumn. Winter starts in December. Don't @ me.

    4. "Dog Years" by Maggie Rogers

    5. "Nightride" by Tinashe

    This album is a new vibe from Tinashe, and I hope she carries on with it because I bloody love it. SO November.

    6. "You Should Be Here" by Kehlani

    Trippy electronic beats, plus a video perfect for anyone not ready to let go of Halloween yet.

    Everyone's coupling up for the holiday season and I'm just over here singing this song over and over while I eat takeout in my underwear.

    10. "Small Bill$" by Regina Spektor

    It's about damn time Regina Spektor released some new music – especially now it's the end of the year because Regina Spektor's music is meant for listening to when it's cold and I won't be told otherwise. Listen to her latest single and get that "la la la le la la la lah lah" refrain stuck in your head for the rest of the year.

    11. "Stonecold" by Machineheart

    12. "Find Me" by Sigma ft. Birdy

    Sigma's electronic beats combined with Birdy's mournful voice. Basically, they got together and made the perfect November music baby.

    13. "Fires" by Mat Hunsley

    14. "Solo Dancing" by Indiana

    The inclusion of this is a direct reaction to ALL THE PEOPLE GETTING TOGETHER JUST BECAUSE IT'S COLD OUT. Seriously guys, just get a hot water bottle.

    15. "Atic" by Astrid S

    16. "Holy War" by Alicia Keys

    Wait for the drop. The drop is so damn good.

    18. "Shelter" by Porter Robinson & Madeon

    I could have just put the song on the list, but the music video-cum-short film A-1 Pictures made for this single is just too beautiful to not include. It will put you in the most melancholy of moods for at least the rest of the day. Watch it then immediately drape yourself in blankets and let a single beautiful tear slide down your cheek.

    19. "Deeper" by Tayá

    20. "Work Song" by Hozier

    If there was ever an artist made for November, it was Hozier.

    21. "Sleeping Sickness" by City and Colour

    22. "Russian Roulette" by Red Velvet

    When your November playlist gets too heavy, Red Velvet are always right here to rescue you. This song is just the right amount of perky, while still having an autumn/winter feel to it.

    23. "Silver Lining" by First Aid Kit

    It was very hard to pick just one First Aid Kit song for November, as their whole vibe is autumn personified. But Silver Lining is the song that started my love affair with them, so here's hoping it'll be yours too.

    24. "Leaves In The River" by Sea Wolf

    25. "Pendulum" by FKA Twigs

    Pendulum is my November bliss.

    26. "Sandman" by Trudy and the Romance

    27. "Kerala" by Bonobo

    Fuck it, if you have to get together with someone, at least do me a favour and make sure you're snuggling to Bonobo, AKA the theme music for every autumn make out session.
