11/9/2017 0 Comments Get to know: Scarlet pleasureI discovered these guys through Spotify recommendations and they have become one of my favourite bands. Scarlet Pleasure is a danish band with infusions of R&B, soul, funk and pop. I love their music, it is so different and catchy. Scarlet Pleasure discography consists of Mirage (2014), Youth is wasted on the young (2016) and their most recent EP Limbo was released this year. It has their funky single Deja Vu (music video below). The lyrics to this song create a movie in your head as Emil (lead singer) talks about his previous relationship. My favourite lines include: "Where did you go my karaoke señorita with the frozen margarita deja vu" - They spent time together on nights out and she had a cold heart but sweet at the same time. "Blue nights on my vespa" - he remembers their nights riding on a vespa under the blue sky. Sounds like a movie right? The visuals are captured in the video with grainy cam recorder shots. Listen to their newest single Good Together here.

10/26/2017 0 Comments get to know: ella maiElla Mai is a British Gem. She started by posting covers on Instagram which led to people begging for original music. Since then, she has released 3 EP's: Time (2016), Change (2016) and Ready (2017). The trilogy was produced by DJ Mustard and together they created R&B magic. Whats great about the trilogy is that every track follows on from each other where there are 10 second interludes about her relationships and this story is told in each EP in the order - Time - Change - Ready. She's a genius. Time has one of her most popular singles 'She Don't' ft Ty Dolla Sign which everyone knows word for word and always screams it at her shows. My favourite track from Time is Switch Sider. This is about her having a desire for this guy yet knowing her parents have warned her about about falling for guys who don't care about her. From Change its Lay up. Ella describes this song as being about putting your phone down, going to an island and just stimulating your mind in any other way than social media with the person you're with. I think we all agree this is a good plan right? From Ready, my favourite is Makes me wonder. This is about Ella constantly wondering whether an ex is thinking about her the way she thinks about him. Her beats switch from head bops to chill, she's perfect for night drives. Now lets appreciate how gorgeous she looks in the Lay Up music video. 10/23/2017 0 Comments Get to know: j balvin
10/11/2017 1 Comment best album of 2017: after laughterIf you don't know Paramore, get to know them! These 3 are extremely talented and the new album 'After Laughter' showcases that. Paramore released their first album 'All we know is falling' back in 2005 and they started as a rock band which continued for their 2 next studio albums 'Riot' and 'Brand new eyes'. In 2013 they released a self titled album and switched their sound to more rock/pop. The wait for a new album was agonising but it was definitely worth it. This year they released 'After laughter' and completely switched it up. Fans also got the best news that the bands drummer Zac Farro (blue outfit) was returning to the band after his departure in 2010. The previous albums will always contain classics such as 'Misery business' however I believe this is their best work yet and is why its my favourite album of 2017. As I said, their new sound shocked everyone because it was beyond expectations. The first single off the new album was 'Hard times' (music video below) and I always get excited just thinking about this song, its a bop (ie. a really great song). Its a song that I believe appeals to lots of people who have never even listened to Paramore, its that great. The musicality on this album was amazing and Hayley (red outfit) somehow sounds even better than she already did, her vocals are crazy.
