Whatever the case, here’s a playlist of songs that are rewarding, recognisable and perfect for beginners—the fundamentals you can grow with while still having a good time. Because isn’t that the point? Sing is available to Apple Music subscribers using the latest version of Apple Music on the latest iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV devices.

Emotionally riveting and warmly engaging gold from a host of pop charmers.

A pioneering figure of the singer-songwriter era, Joni Mitchell charted an interior world that felt bigger and more ambiguous—but every bit as real—as the one outside, rendering relationships and self-exploration with a candour, humour and wisdom unheard of before her and rarely matched since. Despite properly launching her solo career during the late ’60s in a decidedly anti-establishment folk scene, Mitchell (born Roberta Joan Anderson in 1943, in Fort Macleod, Canada) harboured a vocal skepticism toward the counterculture, an iconoclasm and commitment to her muse that followed her for decades—be it forays into jazz (including collaborations with Charles Mingus and Jaco Pastorius) or occasional retreats into poetry and painting. Delicate as it is, her work is quietly transgressive, crossing freely between folk (“Both Sides, Now”, “A Case of You”), pop (“Big Yellow Taxi”, “Chelsea Morning”) and jazz (“Blue”, “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat”) without flaunting it, juxtaposing her fluttery voice with tough advice and a sharp, sometimes unsparing wit. But at the heart of Mitchell’s music lies that quest for the inner realm—a “feminine appetite for intimacy” (her words) that has influenced artists such as Prince and Kate Bush, as well as the more diaristic side of Taylor Swift.

Straight up a winding road from Hollywood's Sunset Strip, Laurel Canyon was a semi-rural respite in the heart of L.A. where members of The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Mamas & The Papas took up residence alongside anti-hippies like Frank Zappa and Love. By the early '70s, Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were heralds of a singer/songwriter scene nestled in Laurel Canyon.
