Most Listened To

Last year I wrote about my favourite new tracks each and every month, there were so many, it was a lot of fun to listen to and collate all these new bits of music. For 2018, I thought I'd switch it up a bit and focus on what I am actually listening to the most.

Using Obscurify I found out the top 10 songs I listened in the six weeks leading up to 08/02/18 and have written a little spiel on each below. I find any and all Spotify data completely intriguing so I spend far too much time on this site.

1) ALL I HAVE - CHARLIE BARNES

I'm a really big fan of Charlie, he's such a talented musician and songwriter and this track is where he really shines. 'All I Have' is the first single from his upcoming album Oceanography, which comes out in a few short weeks. If you like upbeat acoustics, this guy is for you.

I recently interviewed Charlie for work, he is very genuinely one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I've had a chat with.

MUSIC OF THE MONTH - DECEMBER 2017

It's time for the final installment of Music of the Month 2017! Will this series be continuing into 2018? I haven't decided on that yet, so we'll find out.

This series has been a completely fun way of forcing myself to give new tracks time, to discover new artists and to challenge myself to review a song in a couple of sentences.

Enough about that, let's get into the best music of December!

Here's November's if you missed it.

I Know You - Acoustic - Craig David + Bastille



Taking a production laden track with a focus on it's twist on the conventional 'drop' and turning it into an acoustic isn't an easy task. Somehow Craig David and Bastille have pulled it off by slowing down their vocals, relaxing it all and changing the entire tune of the song, yet they still absolutely crush it.

MUSIC OF THE MONTH - NOVEMBER 2017

The year is nearly over and we're up to the second to last instalment of 2017's MOTM posts.

Here's October's if you missed it.

The Way Life Goes - Lil Uzi vert, Nicki Minaj + Oh Wonder


I don't think anyone ever expected to see Oh Wonder's Landslide sampled alongside Nicki and Uzi, least of all Oh Wonder. This is a magical, mystical collab that works absurdly well, much better than it ever should. It's a testament to all involved's incredible talent.

MUSIC OF THE MONTH - OCTOBER 2017

Another month has come and gone, meaning there's that much more music to delve into from the last 31 days.

Take a look back at September's top hits, then move ahead to this month's.

Bubblegum - YONAKA


Drop this one when wanting to feel empowered about everything in your life. Everything about this song is well constructed, from the heavy chorus instrumentals to the vocals you can see yourself screeching out in the shower.

NEW MUSIC OF THE MONTH - JUNE 2017

It's that time again, and June has been something else entirely. There are far more tracks in here than usual, so settle in and get ready!

See the tracks I loved last month right here!

Perfect Places - Lorde

Just before the full Melodrama album dropped, Lorde gave us another teaser through 3 minutes of ethereal pop making us question why we all booze to excess. Despite getting existential, it's everything you need.

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.
