Music Monday #2
10:39
Today's Music Monday has a bit of a laid back feel. Hazy vocals, relaxed blues and folk guitars, and easy melodies pack these five songs.
WEIGHT IN GOLD - Gallant
Alternative R'n'B artist Gallant's debut album 'Ology' really delivered, it's debut single 'Weight In Gold' is an incredible track. It has cross over appeal and I can really see this song becoming big, both on the R'n'B charts and the Pop charts. Wonderful voice with personal and emotive lyrics. One to watch most definitely.
UPBEAT FEELGOOD - Foy Vance
This song by Northern Irish musician Foy Vance does exactly what it says on the tin. The folk vibes and happy band feel of the song brings an immediate feeling of happiness, summer an relaxation. Must have song for road trips and summer BBQ's.
GLOW - Lontalius
New wave 'Sad Boy Pop' is being championed by Lontalius. This synth-pop indie break-up song if for the time when you finally get over the feelings of betrayal, or anger, or pain and realise that the relationship you once had is better than having nothing. As Tennyson said, 'It is better to loved and lost, than to never have loved at all' - interestingly the poem this come from took 17 years for Tennyson to write, and Lontalius' debut album is called 'I'll forget 17'.
STANLEY PARK - Aoife O'Donovan
This incredibly moving song is a perfect slow-tempo, cry-your-eyes-out tune. Great for anyone who's left home for the first time, in a new job or feeling homesick. A wonderful song.
DISTRACTION - Raye
Maybe not the best distraction from that ex that you always wonder what could have been, but still and fab song. Emerging talent Raye from, you guessed it, South London, is one to watch for 2016.
Which track was your favourite this #MusicMonday? Mine is 'Weight In Gold', it's been on repeat for the last few days and I constantly find myself humming the chorus without even realising. Leave your favourite in the comments, or tweet me @ADRAandthe!
