First and foremost, where the hell is the year going?
Second of all, its that time of the month (no, not that time), but rather the time where I let you guys know what tracks I've been listening to. I originally said that I'd start this a few months ago however I have a tendency to procrastinate, and then completely forget what I'm supposed to be doing *slaps wrist*
So here's the top five tracks/tunes/tunezzz (whatever you want to call them) which I have been listening to:
1. MS MR
I first saw MS MR back in Leeds last year when they were supporting Spector (a fantastic band you should check out). It took approximately 30 seconds after they came on stage before they gained a new fan and supporter. This New York duo have really taken the US by storm in the last year and I expect them to have a long career ahead of them. Fantasy has been on repeat tons this last month, which is why it has made the number one spot. If you like this song, make sure you check their album out!
2. Noah Gundersen
Noah Gundersen is an American country/indie folk artist. I first discovered him about a month ago when randomly searching through music on Spotify. In a short space of time he has turned into one of my favourite musicians. His music might not necessarily be in your typical taste however I would highly advise you to listen to Nashville. It's fantastic!
3. Ella Henderson
Two years ago Ella Henderson finished in sixth place on The X Factor. Most of us (including myself) had completely forgotten about her. However she has recently released her song 'Ghost' which has swung it's way to the number one spot in the UK Singles chart. I absolutely love this song and it definitely deserves it's place in my top 5 this month.
4. First Aid Kit
First Aid Kit first caught my attention when my friend Chloe introduced me to their album 'The Lions Roar'. I said I would listen to one of their songs and check the rest out later. I ended up scratching my pre made plans and listened to the album on repeat for the remainder of the night. It seems like it's been an eternity waiting for them to release their new album, but finally, it's here. It's safe to say that it didn't disappoint. Whilst their music isn't necessarily happy and uplifting, I find that it is nice and calming. My Silver Lining from their new album 'Stay Gold' is definitely one of my favourites.
5. Ed Sheeran
I've been a fan of Ed's music for quite a few years now. His last album is the most played album on my iPhone, so as I'm sure you can guess, I was counting down the days till he released another. 'Sing' has to be my favourite song, despite the music video making me feel like I was high or intoxicated on some substance.
So there we have it. That's my top 5 songs this month. Let me know in the comments below (which should work with your google/youtube account now) what yours are, and let me know if you like any of the artists who I mentioned.
