Current music favourites (1st July)

Hello everyone, 

I've only just realised that I haven't done a current music favourites post since May so I decided that it would be a great idea to do one now. I'll also be posting these about twice a month so keep your eye out. 

Send My Love (To Your New Lover) by Adele

Rating out of five: 5 out of 5.

Favourite lyric or lyrics: 'We gotta let go of all of our ghosts'.

Opinion: I found it no surprise that I liked this song as soon as I first heard it as I normally absolutely love most of Adele's songs. I found this one extremely catchy and the lyrics were easily relatable. 

Hotter Than Hell by Dua Lipa

Rating out of five:4 out of 5.

Favourite lyric or lyrics:'You probably still adore me with my hands around your neck'.

Opinion:This is the first song that I've heard by this artist and I must admit after hearing it a couple of times I've really began to like the song. The singer has a beautiful tone of voice and I find the song extremely catchy and appropriate for the summer. 

Roses by The Chainsmokers and ROZES

Rating out of five: 4 out of 5.

Favourite lyric or lyrics:'Well, I'll be your daydream, I'll be your favourite things'.

Opinion:Considering I'm quite keen on house/dance music at the moment, there's no surprise that I like this song. The beat of the song is very upbeat and the lyrics are memorable. 

i hate u, i love u by gnash and Olivia O'Brien

Rating out of five: 5 out of 5.

Favourite lyric or lyrics:'Fucked around and got attached to you, Friends can break your heart too'.

Opinion:I pretty must listen to this song multiple times every day. It's probably my favourite song at this moment in time.

I hope you've enjoyed this music related post!

My recently most played songs.

Recently I've been listening to a few new songs so I thought I'd write a blog post to recommend them to you.

Hair by Little Mix & Sean Paul

As usual Little Mix have released yet another catchy pop song which you struggle to get out of your head. This song has definitely became one of my favourites, and I must admit I do listen to it every day. 

All My Friends by Snakehips (& Tinashe and Chance The Rapper)

Now this song has often been played during pres lately so it is now a song which I associate with good times and being very drunk. 

Work From Home by Fifth Harmony

Personally I feel as if this song is very similar to Rihanna's Work but it doesn't make me love the song any less.

Cheap Thrills by Sia & Sean Paul

I'm guessing it's no surprise that Sia features somewhere on this list as every song that she brings out is always very popular. I find this song very catchy and love the fact that Sean Paul actually features on the track. 

Sex by Cheat Codes x Kriss Kross

At this very moment in time I'd possibly say that this is my favourite song at the moment. The house yet also summer vibe to the song makes it very catchy and memorable.

These are only a few of the songs that I find myself listening to a great deal to at the moment but I thought that I'd recommend them to you.

Favourite Radio 1 Covers.

Since I've previously written a blog post of music, I thought that I might make this a regular thing as I listen to a lot of music and it means a lot to me so I thought it would be a good idea. Lately I've been listening to many covers on Radio One so I thought that it would be a good idea to show you some of my favourites, so that you can get an insight into the music that I like. I hope you enjoy and the covers that I recommend are not in any specific order as I love them all equally no matter how cringy that sounds. 

Craig David covering Justin Bieber's Love Yourself

This cover is personally one of my favourites especially with the amount of times that I've listened to it. Craig David's voice works perfectly with this upbeat Bieber song and even adds a new twist to it. 

 Taylor Swift covering Vance Joy's Riptide

When Riptide came out as a single it honestly became one of my favourite songs and I honestly had high hopes that Taylor was going to give it justice and that was exactly what she did. She covered the song perfectly and kept it pretty close to the original. 

Miley Cyrus covering Lana Del Rey's Summertime Sadness

When I first heard this cover I honestly wasn't expecting much as I knew that it was certainly going to be hard for anyone to cover a song by Lana Del Rey. However Miley's cover definitely did succeed my expectations and I enjoyed it quite a bit. 

Bastille covering Miley Cyrus' We Can't Stop

Now Bastille have always been one of my favourite bands and even to this day they are up there. I really loved their cover of this song and found their incorporation of Billy Rae Cryus' song with it too greatly amusing. 

Rizzle Kicks covering Lana Del Rey's Summertime Sadness

This is the second time a cover of this song has appeared within the list however I absolutely love this cover as Rizzle Kicks certainly make the song sound a lot more upbeat.

Sigala & Craig David covering See You Again

Oddly I wasn't too sure whether I was going to like this cover or not even though Craig David featured on it yet after listening to it I must admit I really liked it. This previously melancholy song had been given an upbeat summer vibe which was perfect. It also included a cheeky cover of Little Mix's Black Magic which worked really well with it.

Music during pres.

Now this is slightly different than my usual blog posts however I personally thought that it would be nice to give some recommendations. This post contains some recommendations on what me and my flat mates listen to during pres, and they are honestly songs that we have all come to love a great deal. Each song on this list is either there just because we have a great deal of love for it or due to it having memories related to it. 

Intoxicated by Martin Solveig

"Song of Freshers 2015"

Chunky by Format:B

Delirious (Boneless) by Steve Aoki

The Renegade by Friend Within

Levels by Avicii

Show Me Love (EDX Remix) by Sam Feldt

These are only a few of the many songs that we sit through during pres but they are perfect examples of the many songs that we get great enjoyment out of. Even though we spend most of pres having a laugh and creating moments that we are never going to forget.
