Soundtrack of the Week // 21st January.

The Cure / Lady Gaga.
Okay so, I've not really been a fan of Lady Gaga since her 2nd album which means I haven't listened to any of her more recent stuff until I heard this track the other day. I absolutely love it, I wanna be honest and say it's because I feel it's different to her other stuff but whatever the reason, it's a great track and I've easily listened to it a bunch of times since I heard it so obviously, I'm gonna recommend you go listen to it although you probably have because I'm clearly behind on great Lady Gaga tracks.

Sunshine Riptide / Fall Out Boy.
Picking one track off of the new Fall Out Boy album wasn't the easiest, but I will say that this track was my favourite after the first few listens so it makes sense to include this one, this week. The whole album is absolutely amazing though, I highly recommend it.

Lockdown / LINES.
If you followed my Weekly Playlist Update, I may have possibly recommended another LINES song called "You" and now we're back with another. It's their new track and it's great. It does feel a bit more slower than "You" but it's still just as good and I'd say that they are a band to watch.

All tracks have been added to the playlist so make sure to go check it out and if you have any recommendations for me, leave them below!

Soundtrack of the Week // 14th January.

Soundtrack of the Week is the new and improved version of the Weekly Playlist Update that I did last year. That has been retired, the playlist unfortunately deleted but we're starting fresh with a brand new playlist and a better way of doing it.

Each week, there will be a selection of new songs that were, as you can probably guess, the soundtrack of my week. They could be new releases, they could be classics and they can be anything in between. All lovely shared with you and collected in a playlist for your listening pleasure.

Let's get this first week of Soundtrack of the Week started!

Don't Need It Now / Le Boom

I recently discovered Le Boom on Spotify through their Hot New Bands playlist and I'm glad I did. Described as a DIY-electro-dance duo, you can expect just that from this track. 

What We Do / Le Boom

Okay, so I know the other track is also by Le Boom but when I discover something I love, I have to check out their other tracks and this one is just as great as the other. Check both out, now. 

Wilson (Expensive Mistakes) / Fall Out Boy

The new track off of their new album, which is out tomorrow and I'm super excited for it. Fall Out Boy have yet to disappoint with me any of their albums or tracks released and from the singles released so far, I think this one is going to be just as amazing as their previous stuff. It' great to see a band grow over time, create new sounds and still remain as fantastic as before.

The line "I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker colour" is a beautifully emo lyric that just teleports me back to early Fall Out Boy so even if the style has changed slightly, you know the lyrics are still as Fall Out Boy as before.

#13: The Bold Type // Grape Movie Marathon

Inspired by the life of "Cosmopolitan" editor in chief, Joanna Coles. The show is a glimpse into the outrageous lives and loves of those responsible for a global women's magazine. Their struggles are about finding your identity, managing friendships and getting your heart broken, all while wearing the perfect jeans to flatter any body type.

On the outside, this might seem like your typical chick show but it's so much more. It's a fantastic feminist show that explores different issues such as sexuality and abuse through the lives of three ladies. It's got all you want from a show, funny moments, dramatic moments and excitement! I found myself getting attached to the three main characters and watching their lives progress throughout the show and the different issues and situations they go through.

As well as being a great show, the soundtrack is also amazing and any show that has a soundtrack that I need is my life earns itself even more awesome points. If you're interested in checking out the soundtrack, it's on Spotify for your listening pleasure - find it here.

Overall, it's a fantastic show that I'd recommend to everyone looking for something new and exciting to watch. Seriously, go binge watch it in one day!

I rate it 4 out of 5 grapes.
