I am always on the lookout for new music; I love finding
songs and bands that I have never heard of that I absolutely love. So far this year, I have found lots of new
songs that I have added to my playlist – I have one big playlist that I keep of
all my favourite songs ever, so new songs I love almost automatically get added
to there so that I don’t forget them. A lot of these songs are ones that have
been very popular, it is just now that they have made their way onto my big
playlist.
1.
All These Things That I Have Done -The Killers
My Dad is the one who recommended this song to me. He has a really good
taste in music and in our house, there is always music on – especially when we
are clearing the table after dinner. So, this was one of the many songs my Dad
put on when stacking the dishwasher and I have to say it is quickly becoming
one of my favourite songs.
2.
Crocodile Rock – Elton John
Recently I have been listening to more Elton John, and I never really
quite knew how much I loved his songs. Like a lot of people, his songs were
ones that I grew up listening to or hearing on the radio, but it is only now
that I am starting to become more familiar with his music. I often watch
YouTube videos of people’s favourite songs, and this happened to appear in one
of the many videos I watched. It is really upbeat, and I love this song.
3.
Maggie May – Rod Stewart
This song is one that is always played at family get together and was
often played growing up. However, recently I came across a video of Rod Stewart
singing this acoustically and it made me love the song even more. A lot of the
time, I prefer listening to acoustic versions of songs, so it was great to come
across this recording. Having said that, any version of this song is good.

Blinded By Your Grace, Pt. 2 (feat. MNEK) –
Stormzy
My friend showed me this song months ago, and for some reason I never
remembered to add it to my playlist, even though I absolutely love it. I like
songs like this because you can tell the artists are really passionate about
what they are singing. Following Stormzy’s appearance on the Brits, I
remembered how much I loved this song, and so added it straight to my playlist.
5.
Ooh La La – Faces
Perhaps my favourite new find, I came across this on ‘James Corden’s
Carpool Karaoke’ with Rod Stewart. I love this song, the instruments on it and
the general sound are exactly what I like in a song, and this is very quickly
becoming one of my favourite songs of all time!
6.
Get me Bodied (Extended Mix) – Beyoncé
On Sunday Morning, I woke up early so that I could watch Beyoncé’s
Coachella performance. Anyone who watched it will know it was absolutely
amazing, honestly one of the best performances I have ever watched – and to say
I wasn’t even there and still found it amazing says something about Beyoncé.
This was one of her later songs in the set, and Solange came on stage and danced
with her. Since that performance I haven’t stopped listening to it – I love it!
7.
Rex Orange County
This is a very new find of mine. When driving home with one of my
friends, she showed me his music and I absolutely loved it. When I got home I added
lots of his music onto my playlist, and I can’t stop listening to his songs. I like
them because they are songs that I am always in the mood to listen to. They are
really chilled, and my favourites are; Happiness, Corduroy Dreams and Loving is
Easy.
I
think I’ll leave it there for today, I could ramble on about new songs I've been loving forever. What new music have you been loving
recently, and do you have any recommendations that you think I’ll enjoy?
