QUOTE OF THE WEEK: MUSIC AND LIFE - Wise words for this week: WITHOUT MUSIC, LIFE WOULD BE A MISTAKE. FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
VINYL IS BACK! - I’ve always loved playing records, often just for the fun of getting them all out of their sleeves and letting the sound fill the room, but I didn’t quite realise until I went into a big music shop today that you can buy recently released albums as records too and new record players! Vinyl is...
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Birdy, Bollywood - So this week is a mixture of soaring choruses and meaningful lyrics and some excellent Bollywood. Enjoy…
MUSIC FOR FITNESS: RUNNING PLAYLIST - So this week I have created a new playlist which I am just in love with. We’ve had some lovely, sunny spring days, so I have added lots of uplifting songs that really remind me of summertime and the great outdoors. So have a listen and hopefully this will get you in the mood to...
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Stromae, Sia and Oh Wonder - This week we enter the sphere of french/belgian pop – and let me tell you, the UK is missing out! Awesome, unique sounds and funky music videos. We’ve also got some great mellow singles and covers of some classics. Stay tuned…
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Oh Wonder, Meghan Trainor and the 1975 - Okay so there’s a real mix this week from a new band Oh Wonder, who are amazing but super chilled, then sass from Meghan Trainor and some feel good music from the 1975…
Some Disney for Monday… - Just because no one can get enough of those fab disney tunes, here are some more niche, but equally fabulous songs from disney classics…
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Justin Timberlake, Oh Wonder and J-Lo - This week has been a mixture of 00s classics and really obscure new finds that I’m just in love with. So it’s a split between drive time music and some classic 00s RnB and hip hop. Enjoy…
REVIEW: Tori Kelly Best Concert Ever! - Oh my goodness – I went to see Tori Kelly on tour and it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to in my life! Her voice was sensational, she remained so humble about her success and she had an awesome set list. So here is why her concert was unbelievably amazing!!
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Jack Garratt, Dido and Lorde - This week has been a very mixed music week for me – but it has been mainly dominated by Jack Garratt’s new album, which is just phenomenal!! I’ve also been listening to throwbacks to 90s and early 00s, so take a listen…
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Natasha Bedingfield, Sara Bareilles and Frank Sinatra - This week’s music is all about those feel good classics that just leave you feeling all warm inside. Happy, inspirational songs that make you glad to be alive and looking forward to tomorrow. The sun is shining – it’s a good life…
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Selena Gomez, Coldplay and Rixton - This week I’ve found some older classics and got pretty hooked on Selena’s new album. Beyond her singles – the rest of the album has some really great songs. So this week is about a lot of big synths and big sounds that make you feel like you’re on the edge of the ocean, ready...
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Avril Lavigne, Mariah Carey and more - So this week I’ve gone reasonably retro back to some great music that has been released in the last two or three years. Starting with Avril – I’ve always been a huge fan since her skater boi and complicated days, but I really think her new album is one of her best and hasn’t got...
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: COLDPLAY, MUMFORD AND SONS, KENDRICK LAMAR AND MORE - This week I’ve ended up listening to a lot of songs with great guitar bits in them and quite expansive songs that are really full of layers. They’re generally pretty uplifting and great mood boosters!
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Ellie Goulding,Texas and more Tori Kelly - This week I’ve been listening to sparkly and big music that conjures up images of the starry night sky (hence the picture) and songs that have great builds to huge choruses. I’ve been refinding some amazing stuff particularly in the form of Ellie Goulding’s earlier work and some awesome new stuff from Tori Kelly and...
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Florence and the Machine, Jack Garratt and more - So this week I’ve been enjoying really awe-inspiring, philosophical and oddly uplifting music. So a very lovely combination of songs that make you think – Oh wow life is really amazing and big and crazy but great. And lovely big choruses with booming drums, orchestras and mainly fantastic choirs in the overlays. Then there’s also...
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Bollywood, Tori Kelly and Amazing Covers - So music for this week is interestingly split between the fantastic sounds of Tori Kelly’s new album, some Bollywood classics that I have rediscovered and an epic live lounge cover! The Bollywood songs just make you want to dance and Tori Kelly’s voice sounds beautiful, as does her whole album which she has really made...
MUSIC OF THE WEEK: 1D, Carly Rae Jepson and more - So here is my first music of the week post, each week I will post my favourite new single to listen to and runners up and a favourite album. These may be new releases or things I’ve discovered that are actually old. This post seems to have a driving theme – they are all great...
