Today has been a very busy day for me, (hence the short blog post) running errands and doing uni work .
You may be hearing a lot about how my uni work is taking over in the next coming weeks, i'm in my final year and in my final 2 months... time to panic! So you won't be surprised to find out that today's choice is quite a relaxed one... ok, ok it's not exactly a chill out song, but compared to most songs on my Spotify list it is very calm! Have a listen.
Admittedly i watch a LOT of bad TV, currently i'm making my way through Gossip Girl for the second time, do not judge me.
One show that's blown me away this year is 'Catfish', shown on MTV it is based on the film of the same name and it's absolutely amazing! I'm not going to go through the ins and outs of the show or movie, all i can say is watch it, but i will warn you if you do you will start to believe everyone on the internet is not who they say they are... scary thought, but sadly this is internet-reality.
Now i don't know about you guys, but when i watch a show and a song comes on that sounds quite good i'll Google it straight away. This is how i came across this song 'Atlas Hands' by Benjamin Francis Leftwich (what a tongue twister), it's a folk like song with some beautiful guitar notes in. Usually i play this song when i'm walking somewhere as cheesy as that sounds, but you know you have your going out songs and winding down songs and heck i even make a workout playlist, well this song is in a playlist i like to name 'Just good music' on my Spotify.
Have a listen, what playlist would you add this song to?
Jessie Ware, what a lady! Not only is she my style icon (see picture below) but her album 'Devotion' has quickly become one of my favourite albums, all year it's been at the top of my Spotify list. Can you blame me? her voice is like butter!
The Mercury Prize... how did Wares album not win?!? I mean yes Alt-J are pretty epic too but JESSIE WARE. I realise this isn't a good argument here, but seriously listen to her album if you haven't already and see if you have the same opinion.
Now the reason i've chosen 'What you won't do for love' is simply because i have a connection to this song. Back in my teenage days i had Tupac's greatest hits and his cover of this song was so good, so so much better than the pop bands around at that time, think 911 :/ Wares version however blows it out of the park!
Today was a momentous day in my music loving life, i discovered Spotify Radio! This nifty little app creates stations based on your favourite artists, naturally being new to this i played it safe and chose an artist i am truly in love with, Jessie Ware.
Much to my delight Woon's 'Shoulda' started playing and i instantly connected with it, (love it when that happens) to my dismay turns out he's pretty well known and this was released 1 year ago...i am once again behind the times (but not too much as i did recognise his 'Lady Luck' song so ner ner)... here it is for you guys! 'Shoulda' by Jamie Woon.
