Airy Geminis are known for their bold charisma, friendliness and wit, captivating everyone they meet. It's no shock, then, that many of the most iconic musical artists working today belong to the sign of the twins.

After all, what is a song if not a message with music behind it? They have some big ideas and an eagerness to share them with the world. Below, we've shared eight of our favorite Gemini artists and their iconic songs that demonstrate the zodiac sign's most prominent traits.

beabadoobee – 'The Perfect Pair'

Filipino-British artist beabadoobee is no stranger to viral hits, and with "The Perfect Pair," she plays with an experimental bossa nova sound to tell a story of a communication breakdown. With a cozy yet mournful tune, it speaks of a relationship where both partners are on different pages and not being able to say what they mean. For Geminis, who are all about self-expression and clear understanding in partnerships, that spells certain doom.

Troye Sivan – 'YOUTH'

Troye Sivan's "YOUTH" tackles a more optimistic approach to relationships, with a glittery and joyful pop sound celebrating new love. It's about embracing the bliss of love and being open to the potential of heartache and loss in exchange for freedom and the chance to explore everything that romance might entail. That encapsulates the independent and free-flying spirit of the sign and their more playful approach to love.

Kendrick Lamar – 'i'

Kendrick Lamar's funky and upbeat anthem "i" is an ode to self-discovery and confidence that simply screams "Gemini." It serves as a heartfelt reflection on his upbringing, and how after years of growing up with struggles of doubt and insecurity, he's finally stepped into a place of self-love. Perspective is extremely important to Gemini, whose duality (represented by twins) grants them the ability to see things through different points of view. He's decided to focus all of his attention on the positive.

Paul McCartney – 'Hello, Goodbye'

Paul McCartney of The Beatles is a rock music legend, with an absurd number of hit songs to his name. Of all of them, "Hello, Goodbye" may be the most classically Gemini. In true twins fashion, it's a song about duality and the way life operates in opposites, and how accepting and embracing that fact will help you better understand yourself and the world you live in.

Blake Shelton – 'She's Got a Way With Words'

On the surface, Blake Shelton's "She's Got a Way With Words" sounds like a love song, but pay any attention to the lyrics and you'll find that it's a biting and ironic take down of a nasty ex. The song is jam-packed with wit and wordplay, ridiculing the behavior of his former love in a manner befitting Gemini's cleverness. Despite its message of heartache, it manages to be plenty of fun, too.

 

Alec Benjamin – 'I Built a Friend'

Singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin's "I Built a Friend" is a quirky, heartfelt and somewhat tragic song about building a robot for the sole purpose of being a friend. As a sign often defined by their friendships, Gemini cherishes the bonds they create with others. When Alec grows up, he moves to college and falls in love, neglecting his robot buddy designed only for kinship, leaving the robot without a purpose. We imagine that Alec relates with his fictional computerized friend just as much as the narrator.

 

Normani – 'Wild Side'

We've already mentioned that there are at least two sides to every Gemini, and Normani is ready to embrace a new part of herself with the sultry R&B jam, "Wild Side," featuring Cardi B. After years of playing it safe and following all of the rules, she's ready to throw caution to the wind and indulge in her wild side for her sizzling new romance.

Ayra Starr – 'Bloody Samaritan'

Good friendships and creating positive energy are so important to Gemini's, and Nigerian artist Ayra Starr's "Bloody Samaritan" is all about avoiding the negativity of two-faced people who aren't what they claim to be. It's bold and energetic, backed by horns and a pulsing drum beat as she proclaims her authenticity in the face of phoniness and puts up a metaphorical wall between her and energy vampires looking to kill her vibe.
