I’ve been slacking on articles lately. I only have been putting them out every two weeks instead of every week. Forgive me. It gives me more time to have inspiration for another article and plus work has been keeping me way busy. That’s what happens when you have 22 people on your caseload and you work every other weekend at another job. But what’s constant is me finding new music, I haven’t done a music article in a while, so I wanted to give you guys a glimpse into what I’ve been listening to lately.
- 1)Anything and everything by Christina Novelli.
- 2)Waterson – Davis
- 3)So Special – Moana
- 4)Those Days You Felt Alive – Spitalfield
- 5)Californication –Syn Cole featuring Caroline Pennell
1) That’s not a song title, that’s saying that I’ve been listening to anything and everything by Christina Novelli. She’s a female DJ and does some collaboration with DJs like Gareth Emery and Craig Connelly. I’m currently listening to “Black Hole” with her and Craig Connelly. It’s fantastic!
2) Davis is a two-person girl/guy duo from Texas. I’ve only been listening to them for a couple days, but this song came on my Discover Weekly. I can’t stop listening to it. I went to their website because they’re a newer band hoping to find some lyrics, and I found them. They’re pictures of the lyrics written on pieces of notebook paper in all different kinds of calligraphy. I think little things like that are neat. Sorry.
3) These ladies are solid! I feel like I’ve been listening to them for a straight month! They’re a girl band, but not like a pop band. I don’t know how to describe their sound, but it’s cool! I know I’m using lots of explanation points, but I just am so excited that I found a girl band that I can be excited about! Another discovery from my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify, but it gave me the live from Spotify House SXSW 2016. I usually don’t like live stuff, but it’s not too annoying. The lyrics have nothing in particular that means to me, I just like the song and their sound. Winterbreak is another good song.
4) How I missed these guys I’ll never know, but they’re great. They’re a pop-punk/rock group that I found through the Lead Singer Syndrome Podcast. Shane interviewed the lead singer a couple weeks/months ago and I’ve been listening to them for the past couple months. They really remind me of Sherwood, like the pop-punk feel that I haven’t heard in a while. It’s reassuring and even though they’re not a band anymore I can still appreciate their music.
5) Yes, this is a cover of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers song, but it’s SO GOOD. It’s a EDM cover of it, but it’s not at the same time. It still gives the vibe of RHCP, but in a new way. I just like this girl’s voice. It’s a nice change of pace. The only complaint I have is that they don’t sing the pre-chorus (First-born unicorn, hardcore soft porn,) but it’s alright. They even remix the guitar riff really well. I can’t really explain the sound; you would just need to listen to it for yourself.
I only gave you five songs/artists because quite frankly, this has been a rough and long two weeks, but at least I have music to help me get through it. You can find all these songs on YouTube or Spotify. Enjoy and hopefully I’ll be back with something better and more inspirational to write soon.
