Motivational Monday; July Playlist. Music and Lifestyle.


                                                                         July 2014 Playlist

 
 

Aloha and Welcome to the new monthly playlist if the blog! Music is a really big part of my life and always has been. Listening to music, even if it is just one song, is something I can’t go a day without. I honestly like a lot of genres so you will see quite a random and ecliptic mix in these monthly posts! Music is something that can change my mood almost automatically. I use music a lot for escapism, for example when I’m trying to unwind and relax after a long day. Or I also use it as a pick me up for heading on a night out and getting into that going out mood!

Artist and albums on replay.

The 1975; are a band from Manchester from England who have taken the world by storm since September 2013. Their self-titled debut album is something I can’t go a day without listening too, well at least three songs a day! Whatever I'm feeling there is always a song for the mood, they have slow sets mid tones and upbeat music which is all I really need! There hasn’t been a day since I found their ep and then album when I have not listened to them. The 1975 are  hard to define and set in a genre. they are a mix of indie, pop, rock, electro and singer songwriter all smashed into one. They are a band I never grow tired of and I don’t think I will for a long time.

Lily Allen- Sheezus.

I have loved Lily Allen from the very start and I am so glad she is back. Sheezus is a well thought out and well written album that tackles the ongoings in the music industry, media and celebrity culture in present day, as well as her own personal life. There isn’t one song I do not like on this album I have so much respect and adoration for Lilly Allen and I always will, because she is a smart and strong woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. Every time she is knocked down she gets up again and comes back stronger. Her voice is something I’ll never grow tired off, I fell more in love with the album after watching her track by track, see link below.


Callum Burrows aka Saint Raymond. Is a British singer songwriter from Nottingham; England and I cannot get enough of him. Saint Raymond is definitely my favourite singer of the moment. He does not have an album released yet but I am in love with his voice and music already. I was so happy when I found out he will be supporting Ed Sheeran in October and I will get to see him live!

Sam smith; Sam Smiths voice is perfection. His debut album In the lonely hour has been overplayed a ridiculous amount this month especially in the lead up to Longitude 2014. I will definitely be going to see the talented singer when and if he comes to Ireland on a solo tour as he is phenomenal live!

Amy Winehouse; stronger than me.

Warning there will probably always be an Amy Winehouse song in my throwback section, because I will always love her music.


Lana del ray; Young and beautiful.

I couldn’t imagine not listening to this song, especially in July!


Oasis; Wonderwall.

I have fallen back in love with the oasis album; what’s the story morning glory. Basically because there was only one copy of it in work and when I went to put it on I realised it had been sold and I was craving a listen to wonderwall and champagne supernova and spent the journey home losing my thoughts so the music of oasis.


Andrew Belle; All those pretty lights.


Avenged Sevenfold; Dear God.


Shawn Mullins; Lullaby.


UB40; Ironically I have been drinking a lot of red wine this month and this song is suiting!
