Fitzie’s Track of the Day Revisited

Rhiannon: Fleetwood Mac’s Dark, Speed‑Up Revival

The Old Grey Whistle Test version of Rhiannon changed everything for Fitzie. The track is sped up, darker, and full of rancor compared with the studio staple. Stevie Nicks channels a Welsh witch while Lindsey Buckingham shreds guitar lines, and Christine McVie’s keyboards add haunting layers. Fitzie first heard it on a walk to Leeds Beckett University over a decade ago, and the haunting melody still gives chills today.

Stevie Nicks has served as a constant guide for Fitzie’s musical journey. Her 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction included a shout‑out to the Haim sisters, which led to discovering The Steps. A year later the mention of Harry Styles during the same ceremony sparked curiosity about the former One Direction member. Nicks’ endorsement, combined with Styles’ love for Fleetwood Mac and literature, turned her words into a personal checklist for new listens.

Harry Styles: From Pop Sensation to Grammy Winner

Harry Styles’ debut solo work opened a new chapter for Fitzie. Songs like Watermelon Sugar felt playful, yet tracks such as Sign of the Times, Kiwi, Carolina, and Sweet Creature revealed a deeper rock and roll edge that Nicks praised. His 2022 record Harry’s House produced the massive hit As It Was, earning Album of the Year at the 2023 Grammys. Styles also surprised listeners with covers of Peter Gabriel’s Sledgehammer and Tears For Fears’ Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

Wet Leg’s Wet Dream Cover: The Joy of Musical Discovery

The cycle of discovery closes with a look at the Wet Leg connection. Styles’ version of Wet Dream, originally on Wet Leg’s 2021 debut, shows how one artist can become a portal to another scene. This reverse homage exemplifies Fitzie’s belief that a song can launch multiple journeys, each yielding fruit years later. The week’s revisit reminds readers that playlists are living maps, constantly updated by chance and curiosity.
