Top 10 Albums of 2017

Another year in music is over. Last year I recounted my top 10 albums of the year, and it's time to do it all over again. This year's list was very tough, it's been an absolutely amazing year for all genres of music, so many artists have released such mind blowing pieces of work! Here are the 10 I've chosen as the best of the best.

This year I tried not to simply focus on my 10 favourites, but on 10 that I truly believe are the best, whether this is overall, or means a complete album with 0 filler, or an album that's defining it's genre, these are all something special.

Lorde - Melodrama

Top Track: 'Homemade Dynamite'

NEW MUSIC OF THE MONTH - MAY 2017

May has been my least favourite month of music in 2017 thus far. It's not been a bad month by any stretch of the imagination, but the first 4 really delivered. However, I've still listed my favourite fire tracks of the month here, and there have been some GREAT ones.

Catch April's post here.

New Music of the Month - April 2017

Get ready for a bumper edition of New Music of the Month! There have been loads of amazing new tracks released the last couple of weeks and there's no better place to catch them all than right here!

Check out March's new music here.

Crowded Places - Banks

This stripped back track from Banks (say that four times fast) is the anti-thesis to songs like 'Brain' which we know her so well for. This song is built to chill too, but it feels like such a 'real' and tough track.

Concert Wishlist

Mondays always seem to be music posts. Maybe I should make music Mondays a thing on here.

This week I'm listing off some amazing musicians I wish I'm able to see perform live in concert one day, and some that I'll never be able to see perform, and I truly wish I could have done.

SCANDAL

SCANDAL are a four piece Japanese indie/rock/pop band that have been around for ages now. I first fell in love with SCANDAL when I was 14 I think, near 8 years later and I'm still a huge fan.

Their music spans genres, they've toyyed around with their style over the last 10 or so years, and it's really paid off, for the most part.

The girls seem to perform in London once a year or so, now I live here I'm hoping I get the chance to see them soon. SCANDAL's greatest hits dropped not too long ago, fingers crossed there's an accompanying tour.

Bonus fact: I spent most of my teenage years yearning after Rina (third from left), the drummer of the band. My crush is still strong.

Off the track (listing)

Hello!

The best version of a song isn't always the 'regular' version. Take the first song in this list as an example, you always heard the Lana Del Rey x Cedric Gervais remix of 'Summertime Sadness' rather than the original! Both are great, that's not to say I don't love some Lana Del Rey on her own, I well and truly do.

Anyway, let's get on with it! This list includes remixes, covers, acoustic versions, other performances, anything that isn't the regular!

Lana Del Rey + Cedric Gervais - Summertime Sadness Remix

This reminds me of being freshly 18 and going out clubbing with my friends all the time to bask in being able to drink alcohol legally. This was on all the time that summer, and I always had it on repeat, even though I would usually take a Lana solo song over anything like this.
