May Music Favourites 2015

So I haven't done one of these for a while and I thought I would tell you what tracks I loved this month. I'm trying to distance from writing about artists in huge chunks and cutting the long story short and recommending you some tracks that I am enjoying this month. SO here we go, here were my five favourite tracks for the month May. To find more of what I have been listening too this month you can find a link to my Spotify playlist at the bottom of this blog post!

1. T-Shirt Weather - Circa Waves

This track by Circa Waves is going to be my song of the summer by far. It really encapsulates that feeling of hanging out in the sunshine with this track on loudly. As you may or may not know I now do Drive at Five on Chelmsford Community Radio and have to make sure that this is shoved into my first hour as I feel like it's a real mood booster. This goes into the playlist because it will be the ultimate track of the summer this year! I'm yet to hear anything else from this band but this song is a rather pleasant listen.

2. Zombie - Jamie T

Admittedly when I first heard this track on the radio I hated it but after hearing it multiple times it has really grown on me. It's an interesting little track and really makes you want to dance like an idiot along to it, that might just be me actually...

I don't hear this one being played on the radio much anymore but it was definitely one that I have listened to multiple times this months, purposely searching for it, instead of it just appearing in a spotify playlist, although it's always welcome if it does appear in a playlist!

3. I Found - Amber Run

This track was this months freebie from Starbucks and I picked it up as it was described as "haunting songwriting" and you know how much I adore singer/songwriters. This band sounds like a mix between Ben Howard, James Bay and to a degree Mumford and Sons. I'm not saying they sound LIKE those artists but they have elements that are very similar and it creates that "haunting songwriting" that it was described as. I have really enjoyed listening to this band and expect big things for them in the future! They are a must play this month!

4. Love Is Not Control - To Kill A King

I have been loving To Kill A King this month. I'm a huge fan of their stuff as it is but I have been obsessed with Love Is Not Control and their other song Choices this month. Love is Not Control is I believe the boys latest track and I have had it on repeat quite a lot this month. To Kill a King have a really nice dark edge to their music and I really enjoy listening to them. They might not be for everyone but give them a listen!

5. Hold My Hand - Jess Glynne 

Jess Glynne is the voice behind numerous Clean Bandit tracks but when this song was released I was a little unsure if she could hold her own ground with her own music. But this track is incredible! Jess has an incredible voice and is definitely going into my summer playlist of things to listen to in the sunshine. I was a huge fan of her music with Clean Bandit and I'm so glad that she has released some music of her own and still done exceptionally well. I cannot wait to hear more from in the future!
