1. King Princess

With about 5 million views on YouTube and over 140 million listens on Spotify, King Princess' song "1950" quickly gained popularity within a few months. She is becoming an icon for the LGBTQ+ community worldwide because of her music. Makayla Strauss (King Princess) is undeniably beautiful in the sense that she is quirky, talented and unique in her music style and how she presents herself through media.

Before I came out as bisexual, I watched her music videos and a part of me would think yup, I definitely fancy girls. Moments before I finally got the courage to come out, I couldn't help but think of a specific girl who I fell for during that time. We had listened to "1950" together in the car on our drive home about a month prior. "So, I'll wait for you, I'll pray. I will keep on waiting for your love." These lyrics comforted me as I typed my coming out article.

2. Girl In Red 

Girl In Red has a song for every emotion that you are going through. Her song "I wanna be your girlfriend" explains how desperately she wants to pursue a loving relationship with a girl named Hannah, "Oh Hannah, tell me something nice, like flowers and blue skies." At one point or another, I think that there is always one girl that we would love to call our own, but know that the love will not be reciprocated, and that can be frustrating. She also writes songs regarding mental illness and the reasons why girls are so lovable.

3. Dodie Clark

Bubbly, funny and adorable musician Dodie Clark shocked some her fans when she came out as bisexual two years ago but hinted at the fact that she fancied girls her 2014 song titled "She". Dodie creatively writes her lyrics based on her life experiences and turns them into melodies that will melt your heart and give you the feels.

4. Ally Hills

Ally Hills is a young woman who does not take life too seriously and that is evident in her non-music related videos, yet she becomes very serious when she has a guitar in her hands. With over two million views on YouTube, Ally Hill's cover of Panic At The Disco's "Girls/Girls/Boys" will send tingles up your spine. Her haunting yet flawless voice brings the lyrics "love is not a choice" to life. She also covers several other songs and has originals such as "Space" and "Wrong", which happen to both be about the break up between her and her girlfriend at the time.

Like many musicians, Ally and I relate because on a personal level. There is no better way for us to express how we feel about someone or about something than picking up a guitar and writing about it. We let the songs do the talking, and how each individual perceives the message is the best part about writing lyrics.

This acoustic indie and pop band will definitely catch you in the feels, especially if you currently have a crush. "Now things are a bit complicated, you're with her and I've been datin', jealousy strikes. Could you tell me why?", she sings in her hit song "You". This song also relevantly mentions jealousy, which can be an emotion that is easily felt when you really have feelings towards someone.
