Whether it’s writing hits for Top 40 powerhouses like the Backstreet Boys and Rihanna, or releasing her own unapologetically impassioned tracks, LP has spent the last two decades being an industry tastemaker. With a unique, growling voice, LP combines her pop songwriting skills with clear rock sensibilities, showcasing ever-present guitars and drum beats.

Her newest album, Heart to Mouth, is filled with elegant lyrics that tug on the heartstrings and find a home in hypnotizing vocals. The Long Island native manages to balance both pop and rock sounds while never letting the instruments overwhelm the core emotions of each song. One of her latest singles, “Recovery,” is a tragic breakup ballad made for mid-rain window gazing, 2AM bed cries, and everything in between.

We got a chance to catch up with LP and ask what’s been on rotation on her tour bus as she embarks on her Heart to Mouth tour. Check out the songs below, and be sure to catch her on one of her worldwide dates this spring!

LP's Tour Bus Playlist

'Trouble' - Cage the Elephant

Track

I love this band. The singer is a true old school rockstar and the song speaks to me because I can really relate to it.

'Tangled Up in Blue' - Bob Dylan

Track

Bob Dylan is one of the greatest writers for a reason, and this song is quintessential Bob Dylan being the incredible wordsmith that he is.

'Red Eyes and Tears' - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Track

I’ve always felt that this is one of the sexiest songs I’ve ever heard. I love the bleakness of it along with the intense sexual emotional quality.

'Paul' - Big Thief

Track

This is the first song I ever heard of this band and I was just blown away by the lyrics. I feel like they’re one of those bands that communicates in this esoteric language that just creeps into your soul whether you like it or not.

'Los Ageless' - St. Vincent

Track

This song, the chorus just blows me away. St Vincent has such a cool combination of an almost industrial coldness and bleeding heart at the same time. And not to mention, she’s the sickest musician who’s inspired many girls to become guitar heroes.

'Yes I'm Changing' - Tame Impala

Track

This song makes me want to make love and drive through the forest at the same time. It sounds dangerous, and it is.

'Again' - Noah Cyrus

Track

I love Noah. She’s great at putting tragic emotions into pop songs. And you can really feel the longing that she has and she manages to put it all in a super nice pop package.
