What I'm Listening To | January 2018

Hi,

I haven't done a 'What I'm Listening To' for AGES and I found all the old ones recently and loved to see what I was listening to a few years ago. I've really got back into listening to a variety of music over the last few weeks (mainly down to obsessively listening to Absolute Radio). I'm coming out of listening to solely Fleetwood Mac and have found a couple of tracks that I am finding myself putting multiple times a day and thought I would share them with you!

1. The Killers - Run For Cover 

I don't think it can even be debated about how great The Killers are. I've grown up listening to them and they're one of those bands that you always sing along to on the radio. Run For Cover was released in August of last year and it has that catchy vibe that The Killers songs have. This song has come on a few times on my daily stints of listening to Absolute Radio and every time I find myself unable to resist having a little having a little boogie. If you want a song that is going to be stuck in your head all day long, then this is the perfect song for you!

 2. To Kill A King - Spiratural Dark Age

I had To Kill A King in the studio recently and they did an acoustic version of this song for me. Since then it has been stuck in my head. It's really catchy and the lyrics are always extremely clever and well thought out. Their third album has just been released and I'm looking forward to seeing what the band have to offer after a couple of years off to write this album. I love To Kill a King as every song has a story to it, the lyrics are smart and no song ever has felt like it shouldn't belong or was lazily put there. It looks like a very exciting year for To Kill A King and I cannot wait for world domination!

3. Miley Cyrus - See You Again 

I feel like I might have gone back in time by 10 years but I have been really loving this acoustic version of See You Again by Miley Cyrus. It is all country-esque and wonderful and it turns out I still know most of the words! Miley Cyrus is back with some great new tracks and I cannot wait to see what else she is going to be releasing (hopefully very shortly). Until then I will just play this over and over again!

4. Niall Horan - Since We're Alone

I love Niall's new album 'Flicker', it's the perfect mix of singer/songwriter with evidence of Niall's more rocky and 80's influences seeping in. This song is one of my favourites off of the album, it's so catchy and I've had it on repeat for the last few days! This has been a major ear wrom for me over the last week and I'm struggling to get this out of my head! This is one of the best songs to sing in the shower and if you ever need a back-up singer, I AM YOUR GIRL! 

                                 

5. Hannah Grace - Praise You

This song has been featured on the Lloyds advert recently but I've been listening to Hannah for a while as she performs with Gabrielle Aplin and Hudson Taylor. Hannah's voice is awesome and this cover is just insane! I've been listening to this on a daily basis and I'm hooked. 

I'm hoping to do these on a monthly basis and would love any recommendations for songs! To stay updated follow the spotify playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/user/1117597579/playlist/2x0iPRYd6JuLpHzN5mOQZB
