Astrobeats: The Ultimate Scorpio Playlist

Scorpio season is here. Known for their undying loyalty and lust for life, they are as endearing as they are acerbic. Not one to be bound by rules, they’re defiant, armed with a razor-sharp tongue, and as ambitious as they come. But beneath the tough exterior are passionate, hopeless romantics, looking for their Jane Austen-esque fairytale in an era of situationships. 

Like their personalities, a Scorpio’s music taste is just as moody. These zodiacal badasses are tough to gauge at first. A concoction of contradictions, it has a little bit of everything, from alternative rock to soft shoegaze. Although they shy away from vulnerability, their playlists reflect otherwise.

In our monthly series Astrobeats, we’re dishing out the perfect playlist for the zodiac sign ruling each month. From heart-wrenching tracks to electronic ragers, this month’s Scorpio mix reflects their inner complexities. As you hunt for the perfect leather jacket for a revenge outfit, press play, and let this playlist be the soundtrack to all your illicit fantasies.

Adéla: “SexOnTheBeat“

A sensual rager with beats that make it hard to sit still, this track feels like a time portal to the indie sleaze aughts party scene. Equal parts tantalizing and groovy, each section builds towards a riveting climax. The song effortlessly scores your main character moment anytime of the day, from showers to house parties. Curating a rebrand that could rival Addison Rae, the twenty-one-year-old Slovak singer-songwriter is breaking away from the Popstar Academy mold and carving a distinct sonic identity.

The Weekend, Lana Del Rey: “Stargirl Interlude“

A slow-burning, two-minute track that is as intense as it is intimate. Del Rey’s signature wispy vocals serenade softly while Tesfaye’s loop echoes like a tape recorder on repeat. Unapologetically lustful, the song simmers with tension, building anticipation as it unfolds.

Fakemink: “Shampoodle” 

“Shampoodle” by Fakemink is a hyperpop relic built for long drives or grocery runs with friends as you yap your worries away. Built upon a hypnotic loop, its dreamy production stands in contrast to the Scorpio god complex-coded lyrics.

Rudy Mukta, Kalmi: “Love And Limerence“

A tug of war between longing and abandonment, “Love and Limerence” embodies the many layers behind a Scorpio’s emotions. The track’s soothing properties make it the perfect antidote to heartache — especially apt for nights of solitude, where you replay every part of the relationship that went awry.

Raye: “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND?“

“WHERE IS MY HUSBAND?” by Raye is a multi-sensory treat that combines orchestral elements with an irresistible R&B groove. Raye’s effortless runs and riffs, carried by a syncopated rhythm, act as instant earworms that keep you hooked. Perfect for those pre-event hype sessions or before stepping out on a big date, the track serves as a reminder of your innate BDE.

Sufr, Arpit Bala & Toojro Dey: “Bargad“

Intoxicating in just the first listen, this is for those scenarios where you can let your imagination run wild. Poetic and indulgent, it doesn’t hold back. With lyrics like “Rani Teri Ek Jhalak Se Mai Pagal,” even the coldest ones are bound to blush. Melding syrupy vocals with desi beats, the production miraculously ties all the various elements into one harmonious track.

Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z: “Drunk in Love“

“Drunk in Love” by Beyoncé is the ultimate off-duty anthem for unwinding after carrying the weight of ambition on your back. Trippy but peppy, it’s the kind of track that gets even better with every listen. The song’s signature energy comes from the thumping 808 beats, while Beyoncé masterfully restrains and releases the word “Love”, creating a slumberous yet magnetic mood.

Naam Sujal: “CUT THAT BITCH OUT!“

Sharp, slick, and straight to the point, Naam Sujal’s “CUT THAT BITCH OUT!” is your cue to ditch the fake ones and ride with the real. With cutting lyrics and a beat that bites, it’s cold, confident, and clean as hell. 

Charli XCX: “Von Dutch A.G. Cook Remix Featuring Addison Rae“

An eternal Scorpio anthem, the racy track summons your inner diva. Bold and electrifying, it’s a blend of angst, energy, and ambition, transporting you to a three-minute cinematic music video where you’re crafting the ultimate comebacks for imaginary arguments. It’s a middle finger to every nemesis still lurking on your Instagram, with Rae’s iconic scream serving as the cherry on top.

Ayesha Erotica: “Yummy (Righteous Remix)”

Your GRWMs need a soundtrack that mirrors your magnetism, and “Yummy” does more than that. Just one listen and you’re strutting across the room, like the “first lady of Juicy Couture” that you are. Apart from the brain-tingling production, it’s a timeless queer anthem that transcends time and place.

Cigarettes After Sex: “The Crystal Ship“

A sultry track laden with gothic romance, “Crystal Ship” is a Frankensteinian fantasy that would put modern dating to shame. With CAS’s distinct lullaby-esque voice and heavenly instrumentals, it leaves space for the unsaid, untold, and unheard.

Som: “Haseena“

Straight out of a Y2K Bollywood movie, “Haseena” is a synth-laden vibe-changer from the get-go. Cheeky and romantic, there is a calculated intent to sweep you off your feet; a sonic declaration that is like music to a Scorpio’s ears.

Abhinsane, Aprit Bala, Sihie, Bhappa: “Pink Plastic Kiss“

A desi bubble-gum pop with production reminiscent of Uzi’s “20 Minutes,” it’s an amalgamation of Punjabi verses, coupled with Sihie’s lucid vocals. Part Barbie-core, part hip-hop, it’s the best of both worlds; desperation masked in restraint.
