I noticed that my blog has turned into this open window to my iTunes library, so I decided it was time to share once again some of the songs that have been on constant re-play for the past few weeks.
There is A LOT of variety in this playlist, some of the artist you might already know and some of them you might not.
I've listed the track's name and artist down below as long with a brief description. So if you have nothing better to do, or you have a little bit of free time give them a listen!
Click on pictures to watch the videos!!!!!
1. Adele- "Love Song"
Adele is an amazing girl from London who is only 23 but has the experience and artistic quality of someone twice her age. I've had the opportunity to listen to her newest album titled 21 and her lyrics are simple incredible. The compilation starts with this amazing cover, one that makes us remember why this song was so good in the first place. Love song is the perfect song for Adele's voice and character...it truly makes you love every second of it!
2. Foals - "Blue Blood"
Another great track from a band that is also from England. This is definitely a band that you appreciate more and more as years pass; it was in late 2008 that my fascination for Foals began and now, almost three years later their music still holds a special place with me. Blue Blood is one of their best tracks, and the video is equally great...if you are not amazed by the kid in the video and his awesome moves then I don't know what will "wow ya"
3. Geographer - "Original Sin"
Geographer made me believe in love at first sight. I discovered this trio from San Francisco, CA almost a year ago by pure accident and I have not been able to stop listening to this song ever since. You might recognize the lead singer from one of my posts from a few months ago, and whether it is him singing acoustically or with his band the effect is the same: breath-taking.
4. Devendra Banhart - "Love"
The Venezuelan-born Banhart has a very distinct style of music, his isn't like any other I've ever heard before. His music has very earthbound sounds, the lyrics are simple yet meticulously drafted, and his voice creates more of a whisper melody that reaches those hidden places in your brain. This video here is one of his latest, starring him and his girlfriend for a company that makes eye/sunglasses. The song is in Spanish, the melody resembles a bossa nova style , and the photography in the video is stunning....and it works because I now want to buy a pair of sun glasses myself, they ones shown here are just fantastic. (warning: the video is somewhat graphic so it might not be a good idea to watch it at school or in front of parents hahaha)
5. The Temper Trap - "Love Lost"
This Australian band gained stardom due to their single called sweet disposition, which was featured twice in the film 500 days of summer, and since then we've been hearing their songs in commercials, movies, and the radio. One of their latest songs is precisely this one "Love Lost" a song about how sometimes we're ready for love but love is not ready for us and vice-versa. I love the video, it seems very....British! Plus, who doesn't love watching people run in the rain?
6. BlakRoc - "Ain't Nothing Like You"
BlakRoc is the a project created by the now super famous band The Black Keys (whom I've been obsessed with for the last couple of months) in collaboration with various hip-hop and r&b artists like Mos Def and Jim Jones, who are featured in this song. This was recommended to me by a good friend who is a great music connoisseur and who has a very ample music library (I first listened to the temper trap's "love lost" song after he posted it on his page which only makes him more awesome!). From the moment I first heard this song I was instantly hooked. I think this makes a great end for what I think was a fabulous playlist! Yes, I just said fabulous ha!
This is the sort of the song that starts playing after the movie credits start rolling, a song that leaves you happy and feeling good.
So there you have it! I hope you get to listen to these amazing songs and actually like them. If not, then you deserve a thumbs up for at least being adventurous!
