Hello Everyone! 

I couldn't not talk about my favorite music from this year, especially since I feel like I've found so many great songs. My music taste has changed a bit this year too, or at least I prefer different genres depending on what I'm doing. For example, I love pop songs in the car, but my gym playlist has a lot of hip-hop and electronic on it. Anyone else do that? I do go quite mainstream with my music, but hey I like what I like!

My Jam: Hailee Steinfeld - Love Myself

"Gonna love myself, no I don't need anyone else"

I have probably listened to this song everyday since I discovered it. It's just so fun and uplifting! Every time I need to cheer myself up I just turn this up loud and I feel so much better. Definitely my favorite song this year.

Blown away by: One Direction - Made in The A.M

Bet you already knew I was going to talk about this one, right? These boys seriously stepped up their game with this album and I absolutely love the direction they're taking with it (see what I did there). There's a really cool retro vibe with the songs and there are a few that remind me a lot of the Beatles. And I don't say that lightly, because I love the Beatles. 

Favorite Tracks: A.M, What a Feeling, I Want To Write You A Song, Hey Angel, Drag Me Down.

Anthem Artists: Little Mix

I definitely gained a new appreciation for girl bands this year. These four girls are all incredibly talented and their music style is quite empowering for other girls. I've actually been listening to them a lot at the gym and when I'm working out and it's great for motivation. 

Favorite Tracks: Salute, Love Me Like You, Black Magic, Lightning.

Feelin' like a teen again: 5 Seconds of Summer 

 I'm always cautious of getting into new boy-band music, just because it usually spirals out of control (I'm looking at you 1D!). But their music is a lot of fun, especially since it has a punk-rock feel to it which brings me back to my high-school days. 

Favorite Tracks: End Up Here, She's Kinda Hot, Hey Everybody, Permanent Vacation.

Girlcrush: Demi Lovato

Anyone else incredible happy that Demi is back? And with a completely new direction of music too! As soon as I heard Cool for the Summer for the first time I was hooked again. Not to mention she looks incredible!

Favorite Tracks: Cool for the Summer, Kingdom Come, Old Ways, Confident.

My House - Flo Rida

Hell No's and Headphones - Hailee Steinfeld

Wake Up- The Vamps

October Music Playlist

Hello Everyone!

I feel like October was a pretty great month for music. I was definitely finding lots of new songs to listen to. Demi Lovato and 5 Seconds of Summer both released their new albums, Little Mix dropped some new songs from their upcoming album, and even Ginny Blackmore came out with a new song. I can't wait for One Direction to finally bring out Made In The A.M, mainly so I don't have a heart attack every time I go on twitter and see a new song is out! A little warning is all I ask boys.

I also found some new tunes for the gym, which is always a bonus. I'm starting to like hip hop to work out to, which is strange for me.
What can I say, I like what I like!

My love of Pop music continues...

Perfect - One Direction

Old Ways - Demi Lovato

Under My Feet - Ginny Blackmore

July Playlist

 Hey guys! I'm back with another playlist. I struggled slightly with finding new music this month, thankfully some of my favorite artists came through with new singles. I rediscovered so old favorites too. Don't forget to let me know what's been on your music playlist through July, I would love some recommendations!

Little Mix - A Different Beat

For being proud of who you are, and having a bit of fun dancing at the same time

5 Seconds of Summer - She's Kinda Hot 

This is such a fun song, makes me feel a bit like a teenager again (in a good way!) 

One Direction - Drag Me Down

Aston Merrygold - Get Stupid

If you loved Uptown Funk, you will adore this! A ridiculously fun song that will make you love Jazz music all over again. 

Demi Lovato - Cool for the Summer 

This one has been on repeat since it came out this month. I absolutely love the direction Demi is going with her music.

Selena Gomez and the Scene - Naturally
 Revisiting an old favorite. This song played at the gym one day and I couldn't resist going home and listening to it again. 

Taylor Swift - Welcome to New York

I've spent many a day dreaming of what things could be like if I just work hard. This song is great motivation, let me tell you! 

What have you guys been listening to lately?

 

June 2015 Playlist

I'm one of these people who has to change up their music quite often, which means I also go back to songs I was listening to 6 months ago and start loving them again. As a disclaimer, I have a shameless of pop music, no matter how mainstream. It puts me in the best mood!

Jeremy Loops - Down South (feat. Motheo Moleko)

Thanks to Mr Ben Brown for this one, gets me pumped in the car on my way to work
