Polina
LA based, Russian born singer/songwriter Polina is a classically trained musician with model good looks. Her latest single “Little Babylon” is a testament to her adept ability to create sonically challenging music. Her collaboration on “Book Of Love” with Felix Jaehn catapulted her into the spotlight and counts more than 19 million plays and it’s clear that Polina has a bright future ahead.
We asked Polina to put together a playlist and some of her current favorite songs – take a listen below.
Polina – Little Babylon (Jyye Remix)
“Australian based Jyye sent this remix to my label (Ultra) during our world-wide remix contest. It breathed new and different energy into ‘Little Babylon’ a great mix to start a day to, work out to or play before going out. Pumps me up every time I hear it.”
Tame Impala – Yes I’m Changing
“This song and the whole album has literally been on repeat in my house. I heard the song for the first time at Verve Coffee in West Hollywood (in LA) while I was well ummmm in the loo so I was schazam-ing it in a very awkward position, with my arm stretched out to the ceiling speaker. Amazing album.”
Christine & The Queens – Tilted

“Heard this while touring with Felix Jaehn in Germany this fall. Christine is an artist with a vision in her own lane. The song is super cool. Big props!”
Contessa – Running
“A fresh new single by a new project and supergroup that’s a collective of music and visual artists coming together. You might have to watch the video to see what my connection is here :)”
Deadmau5 – 4ware
https://open.spotify.com/track/1ROBixGgXrYlcCcrBfxAoy
“Feeds my ‘young raver days’ tastes. My trance-y guilty pleasure. I was brought up in Europe before moving to the states at 16 so hearing tracks like this one takes me right back there.”
Mura Masa – Firefly
“Been out for a minute, but I’m still very much into this glitchy track. It takes a lot of turns in terms of sound and I like that!”
The Weeknd feat Daft Punk – Starboy
https://open.spotify.com/track/7HtPBwBoCBDy1tpstag7HL
“How could I not include this one! A huge fan of both The Weekend and Duft Punk. The records ‘s got some subtle MJ undertones.”
Cashmere Cat – Trust Nobody (feat Selena Gomez & Tory Lanez)
“Far end of the pop spectrum for me but Selena’s got some serious swag on this one. And Cashmere Cat’s production is sick!”
Petit Biscuit – Sunset Lover
“If the word ‘glow’ had a sound form that would be Petit Biscuit. Just love his warm sound. Good vibes. Listen to this one a lot when I want to chill or traveling.”
Bonobo – Break Apart feat. Rhye
https://soundcloud.com/bonobo/break-apart-feat-rhye
“Leaving you with some introspective meditative thought provoking music. Two of my favorite artists of this year Bonobo & Rhye got together and made a beautiful record together. Hope you enjoyed my favorite tracks of the week! Xo Polina”
