The new iOS update just dropped this week, and honestly, the new emojis are a whole vibe. If these 8 new icons had an official soundtrack, here is exactly what we think they would sound like:
Distorted Face | "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. Pure, dramatic, chaotic energy. The operatic section is exactly what this face feels like.
Fight Cloud | "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys. For when the group chat gets a little too lively. High-impact, comic-book brawl energy. (This one plays well around the 10:45pm time of a dance!)
🧑🩰 Ballet Dancer | "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John. I mean, obvious, right? That graceful, fluid movement, and effortless poise.
Orca | "Moving" by Kate Bush. Everyone knows the *other* Kate Bush song, but you give this one a listen, and the first 20 seconds explains our pick. It has deep-ocean majesty. Sleek, powerful, and mysterious.
Bigfoot | "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring. That perfect, paranoid "something is watching me from the wood line" atmosphere, but not going "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell vibes.
Trombone | "Suits Are Picking Up the Bill" by Squirrel Nut Zippers. Bold, brassy, and impossibly joyful. Let the hot jazz sounds of vintage 1920's and 30's horn section run the show!
Landslide | "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac. Because some classics just can't be replaced. Perfect for when the ground shifts beneath your feet...like it did for the songwriter, Stevie Nicks.
Treasure Chest | "Treasure" by Bruno Mars. For the absolute hidden gems in your life.
Which one of these emojis are you going to over-use first? Or do you have a different song selection for the emoji? 👇
