Lets talk music. There is something for everyone out there for every occasion, for every emotion. Understanding someone’s taste in music is understanding a whole new side to a person. Today I’ve decided to give you all a look into my music library. Maybe I can lead you in the direction of some awesome artists you’ve yet to discover, or maybe I’ve just given you some useless noise for the next 30 minutes — which is also totally okay; my taste may not be yours, but regardless here are some artists I have been loving
Jon Bellion
Here we have my personal favorite artist of the moment. I first discovered Jon Bellion when I was going through the lineup for Governors Ball Music Festival, which took place in NYC this past June. I was pretty set on seeing another artist that was performing during the same time slot, but decided to look up some of Bellion’s music before completely ruling him out. To my surprise, I would come to find one of the most versatile and unique artist possibly ever (exaggeration, but you get the point). From rapping to singing to beat boxing, his songs are all so different yet similarly catchy. Before he even released his own music, he was a music producer, and has written songs for Eminem, Jason Derulo, and many more. A few songs you must check out: "Guillotine," "Pre-Occupied," "Run Wild," and "All Time Low."
Personally, I love every single song of his, but start off with these four and I’m sure you’ll find yourself listening to his entire album.
Glass Animals
According to everywhere, Glass Animals is referred to as “English Indie Rock.” However, I find it very hard to categorize this group into any sort of restricting category. Close your eyes and listen to Glass Animals and you’ll feel like you’re either wondering through the rainforest, or floating in the clouds, or perhaps something completely different; that’s the great thing about music, and Glass Animals in particular — everyone can interpret them differently.
With just four people making up this band, I find it amazing how they give off the sound that they do. They’ve grown in popularity over the past year, so I’m sure many of you have heard of them before, but regardless here are some of their best songs: "Black Mambo," "Toes," "Pools" and "Gooey."
Marian Hill
If you like jazz music, Marian Hill is the band for you. Marian Hill produces a modern jazz/blues sound while incorporating the current day trend of heavy base and techno. The Huffington Post refers to it as “sax-ual” music, and I couldn’t agree more.
Some of my favorites: "One Time," "I Want You" and "Take Your Time" — you’ll be hooked after one song.
Son Little
When it's time for you to take a chill pill, sit down, relax, and listen to some slow jams, this is the guy you’re gonna wanna know.
Son Little’s voice sounds like a chocolate bar tastes — so rich. Son little has the perfect tunes to fall asleep to in the best way possible. Songs to know: "Lay Down," "Your Love Will Blow Me Away."
