Petty is my favorite color: Taylor Swift, “Mr. Perfectly Fine” (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) – The one thing that hooked me onto Taylor when I first discovered her music in college is that her lyrics were perfectly petty. This track, which was originally cut from the Fearless album, really harkens back to Taylor’s early petty season, when she was joyfully less subtle about shading her boyfriends. The song is also surprisingly more mature than some other tracks from this same era, which would explain why it was removed from the album. I’m glad it’s been released from the vault and that my beloved Taylor has evolved into Ms. Owning My Music. – Shannon Melero
Y: Jayda G, “All I Need” – Come for the house music that simultaneously references its commercial early ‘90s strain and the rougher, basement-y take on the genre that preceded it (check that vocal reverb!). Stay for the archival rave footage from the ’90s. This one feels like it’s speaking to me directly. —Rich Juzwiak
