Hello all! As February winds down, (it just started, didn't it?) I believe it is about time to present to you my top ten songs from this month! As I promised in January, I wanted to make this a monthly piece so I could provide whoever may be reading my articles with some new music to listen to.
So, without further ado, here are my top 10 songs from February 2018:
10. "No Roots" by Alice Merton
"No Roots" was originally released in August 2017. As soon as I heard it on Radio 104.5 whilst on my drive to Chick-Fil-A, I had to know the name of the song. Once I discovered the name, it instantly became the first song I added to my "February 2018" playlist on Spotify. It's an extremely catchy song, and I find myself singing it quite often. Definitely a song that hypes you up.
9. "Dreams and Nightmares" by Meek Mill
I am not usually a fan of rap, but lately, I've been trying to expand my music taste. I can honestly say that this is the most definitive song of my February. This is due in part by this being the Philadelphia Eagles walk-in music at the Super Bowl. It became Philadelphia's anthem this entire NFL playoff season, especially since it's by rapper Meek Mill (#FreeMeek!) But seriously, listen to this song. Issa bop.
8. "We Find Love" by Daniel Caesar
I discovered Daniel Caesar from my friend (thank you, Emily!!!) and I could not be happier that she did. Every song I've heard from him has become a song I listen to on repeat. His songs are very sensual and his voice is angelic. I don't only recommend this song, but his entire discography. If you want to bless your ears, give him a listen.
7. "Sister Cities" by the Wonder Years
The Wonder Years are an extremely talented Philadelphia-based pop-punk band. I've gotten to see them live a few times and I am so thankful for that. Their new album, "Sister Cities," is set to come out in April and the title track from the album came out this month. This song made me even more excited for the LP, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for the Wonder Years.
6. "Wild Love" by James Bay
I first heard James Bay at my Junior prom when "Let it Go" was our slow dance song. Since then, I've been a fan of him and listen to his music often. I was super excited when I saw he had a released a new song last week. The song differs from his original sound, but I dig it. It's a good change. I'm looking forward to any new music he is releasing soon!
5. "The Sunshine" by Manchester Orchestra
Probably the slowest and most soothing song I have on this list is "the Sunshine," and it's no surprise it comes from Manchester Orchestra. If you're looking for a nice, relaxing song to listen to while doing homework or to add to your "sleep" playlist, I recommend this one.
4. "Call Me if You Need Me" by Vance Joy
I can't tell you how happy I am that Vance Joy is releasing new music. His songs always touch my soul — such as "Mess is Mine" and "Georgia." I love this new song just as much as I love those ones. Make sure to listen to this song and more on his new album "Nation of Two" set to release on February 23! It won't disappoint.
3. "Going to Mars (!)" by Judah and the Lion
I don't have much to say about this song except that I really want to see this song performed live because I think it would be an amazing experience. That is all.
2. "Figure This Out" by the Wrecks
1. "Way With Words" by the Wrecks
The number one and two spot go to the Wrecks. The Wrecks are a band I had the honor of seeing live this past summer on tour with All Time Low. I was blown away by how good they were. Last week, their much anticipated EP "Panic Vertigo" came out, and I was delighted to be able to hear the studio versions of the songs I loved on the tour. If you listen to any of these ten songs, please listen to one of these songs, or just listen to the whole EP. I can promise you won't be disappointed. The Wrecks are seriously so talented and I think they are going to be extremely popular in the near future.
Hope you all enjoyed the list for this month! See you with another list at the end of March :)
