TRACK 1: What About Us / Shoffy.
An artist I recently discovered and while making my way through their self-titled album, I found this amazing track (the others I've heard so far are also amazing so make sure you check those out too).
TRACK 2: Electric Touch / A R I Z O N A
A R I Z O N A have managed to combine a soft voice with the perfect beats to create this beautiful track. I'd consider this the perfect soundtrack for a chilled out day of daydreaming.
Get ready for a decades special of the Weekly Playlist Update. Every other week will focus on a new decade and three great tracks from that time. Starting with the 60s!
TRACK 1: Runaround Sue / Dion (1961)
This is a track that is easily in my top favourite tracks, and I have Sleeping With The Enemy to thank for reminding me of it's existence. Similar to the other tracks I've recommended, it's one you can get up and dance to!
TRACK 2: Stay / Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs. (1964).
If you've seen Dirty Dancing, then you'll definitely know this track! There isn't much I can say about it other than you should listen to it and then add it to your own playlist because it's an amazing track.
TRACK 3: Will You Love Me Tomorrow / The Shirelles. (1961).
Again, I feel this is a track that quite a few people might already know but it's definitely a great one. One thing I do love about these tracks is that old sound that they have, as if they're being played on a vinyl from when it was released.
This week focuses on tracks that are slightly heavier than those featured previously!
TRACK 1: Follow You / Bring Me The Horizon
I feel in comparison to other Bring Me The Horizon songs, this is a slower, more calmer song which I actually enjoy, I'm also a big fan of the lyrics and the two together make this one of my favourite songs on their album, "That's The Spirit".
TRACK 2: Hated / Beartooth
Again, the lyrics to this song are part of the reason I love it as much as I do, especially when it comes to the chorus as it's something that I feel I, as well as many others, can relate to. As a bonus track, I've also included the acoustic version which is just as good and perfect for those who might not like something this heavy.
TRACK 3: Wisteria / Hands Like Houses
I'm pretty sure that this is the track that first got me into Hands Like Houses and it still remains one of my favourites by this band and I've even been lucky enough to see them perform this track live, which was just as good as I thought it would be.
BONUS TRACK: Oceandust / Hands Like Houses
I've decided to throw in another Hands Like Houses track as a bonus. Having not listened to them in a few months, it was nice to listen to them, as well as the other bands posted above. This is a track that I'd forgotten about that I absolutely loved.
I've heard this track more times than I can count since I discovered it. It's indie mixed with great beats making a great track for getting up and dancing like no-one is watching.
TRACK 2: Wise Up / Huntar
This features on the new album, Your Favourite Worst Mistake, which also happens to be the first Huntar album. It's definitely the first track that jumped out at me during my first listen and remained my favourite (mainly because I haven't given the rest of the album a chance yet..)
TRACK 3: Phases ft. French Montana / ALMA
Another great track from Finnish star, ALMA. As always, a great track for getting up and dancing to, maybe even a good break up track to help you move on from your latest phase..
Who runs the world? Girls! So, let's rock out with our fellow world rulers in this female fronted special!
TRACK 1: Blow The Bass / Lowell
I'd describe this as moody number perfect to have a little slow dance to, whether it's on the dance floor or between the sheets. I'm sure we all have songs we think are perfect to have sex to, right?
TRACK 2: Hold On / Angus & Julia Stone
As well as songs to have sex to, I also have a mental list of songs that are perfect for gloomy evenings spent snuggled up in bed, when you just want some easy listening music to daydream about what could have been to. This track is perfect for that.
TRACK 3: Colour Me / VALERAS
With only one EP under their belts, they are definitely one to watch out for. I can see them as the band to break out onto the scene and possibly be the next big thing - I'm that in love with them. After listening to the track below, check out their EP "Knives & Flowers".
