MUSIC FAVOURITES
...../NOVEMBER
Now that I'm finally a full-time working gal, commuting into work (almost) daily means my day starts and ends with music. Which is ironic, as I have less free time than before, but music has somehow worked its way into my schedule, so much so, I listen to up to three hours of tunes a day.
It's great.
It's great.
Spotify has definitely been a friend when it comes to discovering new music, and the last couple months of browsing on the app has led me to start listening to a few new faces.
JUSTIN BIEBER
Now before you slam your laptops shut, or throw your phone across the room in disgust... Really think about it. Of recent, he's got better hasn't he? I've even enjoyed listening to some of his older music - the few albums I ignored after he came out with 'Baby'. He really isn't that bad.
I looooove the beat of this track. I listen to it when power walking to the station at 6:15. It wakes me up and honestly puts me in a good mood. Also keeps me in time while walking, so I'm working in a little bit of cardio before sitting (or standing) on my first train for 40 minutes.
This is clearly about his break-up with Selena, but I really don't hear that when I listen to the song. Again I listen to him in the morning so it's really about waking up, and this particular song does just that. Excluding everything I've said above, the song's rather sexy too. Haha.
BREACH
A couple years ago, a group I had never heard of before, BREACH, released a song called Jack. Being reaaaaaally into house back then, I listened to it at least 5 times a day for two months straight, until I obviously grew tired of it. Two years later, I am completely obsessed with it again. I listen to it when changing trains, and walk to the beat of the song to get me to the next platform FAST. You can laugh all you want, but it works my friend, it works.
JOHN VINCENT III
While watching a favourites video on TheLineUpMenswear, they briefly spoke about this song and I thought since they usually have very good taste in music (their videos stand as a testimony to that) I decided to have a listen. Very reminiscent of James Bay, I fell in loooove with the song. I've been too lazy to try and listen to anything else by him, but Lost/Inside Our Minds will definitely be a favourite for the next few months.
SUNBEAMSJESS on YouTube has also inspired me to browse SoundCloud for amazing music and beats submitted by aspiring artists, DJ's and the likes to the social platform. I've found a good few tracks I've fallen deeply in love with and really want to share with you all, so here they are.
Wantyouback. - El.Train I can't say enough about this song. I want to do this track justice, so I won't say much and will leave it up to you all to go and have a listen. It's a remix of the Jackson 5's Want You Back but with a funky twist, that I have to say, I like as much as the original - and that's saying something.
MAXWELL YOUNG
This whole section is dedicated to his music, most of which are featured on his soundcloud. I seriously can't get enough of Maxwell and his genre. I am IN LOVE. When listening, think "the beginning of every Casey Neistat vlog". Now go have a listen.
Stars - Maxwell Young
Molly - Maxwell Young
Spark - Maxwell Young
(The song that got me hooked.)

I'll leave you all with those for now, and save my other favourites for next time ;)
I hope you enjoy!
See you next Sunday,
