- “Grace Kelly,” Mika, 2007. Several of Mika’s songs could have made this list (“We Are Golden,” “Lollipop,” or “Last Party,” a song about Freddie Mercury’s infamous last party before he died), but “Grace Kelly” is why we fell in love with him in the first place: He’s authentically queer and has no interest in conforming.

- Anjimile, "The King" Opening with an elegant arrangement of male and female voices, the title track to Anjimile’s second album The King shifts dramatically when the Boston folk singer enters the throne room, building up a sense of drama and intrigue as a harpsichord hammers upon a distinct pattern of notes in a hypnotic fashion.
