The White Lotus’ Natasha Rothwell on the 'angsty' music that shaped her

Long before Natasha Rothwell started stealing scenes as Belinda on The White Lotus or Kelli on Insecure, she was a self-described people-pleaser and peacemaker (yes, she’s a Libra). In this episode, Natasha reveals how creating some of the most iconic characters on TV today has been a form of self-discovery – one that has transformed her from a military kid trying to fit in into a creative force who has fallen deeply in love with herself. Here are her songs. Riverside by Kirk Franklin & The Family Fly Me To The Moon - Frank Sinatra, Count Basie Oh My God - Jay-Z I Have Nothing - Whitney Houston You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette She Used to Be Mine (from Waitress) - Sara Bareilles Fix You - Coldplay Listen to Natasha Rothwell’s full playlist on Spotify.
