Anyway, while being in university I have explored different types of music and found that I do actually like different types of music then what I thought I liked. I'm not sure whether it's the people around me that influence me or its my ears maturing and starting to like more diverse music. Who knows? But anyway, I thought I would share with you five of my favourite songs that I have been listening to nonstop here in Sheffield. Enjoy!
1. George Ezra - Budapest
I first heard George Ezra when he supported Tom Odell last year and he entrapped me in his music as soon as he started playing. He has got a extremely unique voice and it's one that you could listen to all day. This song especially caught my attention because it's very soothing and the lyrics really take you on a journey. I also love it because after the first time hearing it, you will start singing it all around the place. I even found myself singing it to myself in a lecture. So yes, listen to it!
2. Jordan James - Loving In Sin
Jordan James is someone I found through Soundcloud and also his name being mentioned on various music websites. This song is my favourite out of his because it's so relaxing and chilled. Normally this type of music isn't really what I listen to but as soon as I heard it , it had something in it which made me want to listen a second time. Its one of those songs which take about three listens before you become a full fan of it. But it's a really good song and he has such a smooth and effortlessly good voice.
3. White Lies- Unfinished Business
I only came across this fairly recently but I am so ridiculously obsessed with it. I had come across the Mumford and Sons version of it and loved that too but when I heard this , I have to say I preferred it by far. Harry McVeigh's deep and booming voice really makes this song powerful and extremely unique.
4. Clean Bandit- Dust Clears
This song is one of those which you play over and over and over again. I think within the first week of listening to this song I overplayed it so much I slightly ruined it for myself, but Its still a great song. Clean Bandit have a very unusual sound as they are composed of a blend of genres. The use of trumpets give them a very old Jazz sound and then the techno-house drop in the middle of the song reflects a very modern and 2014 sound. The blend of the eras of music together create a very individual sound and one that can appeal to a very wide audience.
5. Jake Bugg- A Song About Love
The final song is Jake Bugg's 'A Song About Love' . This song is off his new album Shangri La and is my definitely my favourite. Bugg has outdone himself with this album and I severely recommend everyone to take a listen. This song is one that you belt out in the shower and hum all day long, so if you're a fan of Jake Bugg, or even if you're not, take a listen.
