Polly Scattergood — I Hate The Way

Played: 2026-09-03

A London singer-songwriter signed to Mute Records; "I Hate The Way" was the striking debut single from her self-titled 2009 album. Opens with an almost funereal, low-lit synth-guitar intro before blooming into a fragile Kate Bush-adjacent ballad full of sharp romantic contradictions. Her theatrical, confessional delivery and minimalist production made it one of the more distinctive British debuts of that year. Unverified: exact chart placing is unclear; the song had modest single traction and is best remembered as the calling card for an artist who went on to collaborate with husband Alex Cordy and pensioner-revivalist project Smoke Fairies.
