Songs I'm Loving || October

Mood: Sassy

Listening to- Whitney Houston- So Emotional (What a throwback haha!)

So here are my top ten songs that I've been loving this month. Like always the songs I listen to may not be newly released, but I've put them in there anyway.

1. Passion Pit- Take a Walk

I can't remember where I heard this, but a few day later I watched Tyler Oakley's How To: Take over Sydney video and this was the song in the video. I instantly searched it on Spotify, and I haven't stopped listening to it since. It's such a happy song and instantly puts me in a great mood.

2. Drake ft Jay Z- Pound Cake

I've been listening to Drake's newest album a lot on Spotify lately and I must say I've replayed this song over and over. I don't know what it is about Drake that I've been loving lately. It features Jay Z which I love and you can certainly hear the Jay Z vibe on this track.

3. Daughter- Youth

There's something very calming about this song. I love how the vocals slightly echo and it makes it hauntingly beautiful. I love to just lay on my bed and listen to this song. I recommend you listen to Daughter, they have some great songs.

4. The Weeknd ft Drake- Live For

Another song that features Drake, I know! The Weeknd have impressed me with this song, I love how catchy

5. Lorde- Royals

Another song that I've been hearing a lot lately. I've had this song stuck in my head for that past few hours, it's so catchy. I can't believe she's only 16!

6. Chase & Status ft Moko- Count on Me

I've always been a big fan of Chase & Status and they've not disappointed with this song. It gets me moving every time and has a nineties vibe to it which brings back nostalgic memories. I recommend this song to anyone who misses the nineties and wants a good old dance.

7. Ben Pearce- What I Might Do

Thank you Tesco for having this song on your new advert. When I heard it I was like like "Wow, who sings this song? I absolutely love it!" I've not changed my opinion on it after listening non-stop. I hope to hear a lot more from Ben Pearce in the future. 

8. One Republic- Counting Stars

When OneRepublic first appeared on the scene I wasn't a big fan of them, I found them slightly boring. Now I've grown older I've really started to enjoy some of their music. The song Counting Stars has been played quite a lot this month and I've literally heard it everywhere I go. I must say I do really like this song.

9. Wilkinson- Afterglow

I love this song and it makes me happy that the vocalist is Becky Hill off last year's The Voice UK. I always had high hopes for her because she's such a talented singer. Another thing about the song I adore is the video, I find it very fascinating and I've watched it around about 30 times (no joke). I think out of all the songs on this list, this has been my favourite this month.

10. Iggy Azalea- Change Your Life

I am the BIGGEST Iggy fan, not only is she super talented, she is breathtakingly beautiful. I would give anything to look like her! Her newest released song 'Change Your Life' is as catchy as her previous songs and I can't stop listening to it. I also love looking at her different make-up styles in every video, she always looks flawless.

Hope you've enjoyed listening to my top ten! Let me know what you've been listening to this month.

Love from Bethan

Songs I'm loving || September

Mood: Mischievous 

Listening to: Sub Focus ft Kele- Turn It Around

Here are my top ten songs that I've currently been loving and listening to non-stop, they're not all newly released songs but ho-hey!

1. Sub Focus ft Kele- Turn It Around

When I first heard this song I thought Bloc Party had released a new song and got very excited. I'm an avid user of the iPhone App 'Shazam'; it listens to songs and tells you the track name and the artist. When it told me that it was Sub Focus featuring Kele who is the lead singer from Bloc Party, I got very excited because they used to be one of my favourite bands when I was 14/15. It's such an upbeat, magical and happy song and I absolutely love it!

2. Arctic Monkeys- Do I Wanna Know

I have a love/hate opinion on the Arctic Monkeys, I absolutely adore some of their songs and then I hate others. But I must say when I first heard this on the radio a while back I fell in love with it instantly. It's such a laid back but edgy song and it really does get your head nodding. I approve of this song!

3. Conor Maynard- R U Crazy

One of my most played songs lately, I can't stop listening to it. It's so catchy and you end up singing along with it. Conor Maynard has outdone himself with this one.

4. Bastille- Overjoyed

I love Bastille and there's not a lot of tracks by them I don't enjoy. I love to listen to their album 'Bad Blood' on Spotify, but the track Overjoyed is almost played on repeat every time. I've also enjoyed it even more since listening to the Becky CJ version on YouTube where she remixes it with Kiss You by One Direction.

Listen to it here.

5. London Grammar- Strong

London Grammar remind me a little of The xx, a band which I really enjoy listening to. The lead singer (Hannah Reid) has such a beautiful and relaxing voice and she gives me goosebumps every time I hear her. 'Strong' is a song I love listening to while I just chill out and relax.

6. Katy Perry ft. Juicy J- Dark Horse

I'm totally addicted to this song, it's just so...sexy! Katy Perry completely blows my mind with the different songs she sings. It's the complete opposite to her recent song 'Roar' (which I also love) I like that she experiments a little with her voice.

7. Tom Odell- Can't Pretend

A few months ago I purchased Tom Odell's album 'Long Way Down' and I'm still not sick of playing it. Can't Pretend and Sense are my two favourite songs on the album along with the popular and catchy 'Another Love'. I honestly recommend you listen to him if you haven't already.

8. Maximo Park- Books From Boxes

One of my all time favourite songs, but lately I've been playing it a lot. It makes me feel nostalgic and brings back happy memories of when my best friend mistook it for Girls Aloud's song 'Love Machine'. I could listen to this song ten times and feel a different emotion each time. Great song always and forever.

9. Avicii- You Make Me

I love, love, love this song! Avicii never fail to impress me with their music. I've literally been listening to this on repeat on YouTube.

10.  Le Youth- C O O L

This is a sample of the song Me & U by Cassie, and a song I used to listen to when I was younger. I love this version because the vocals are quite chilled out but the electronic beat gives it a certain edge. Every time I hear it I think it would be an amazing runway song at a fashion show.
