1) James Taylor – Walking Man

Gorgeous folk/easy listening track with gentle guitar strums.

2) Nothing But Thieves – Graveyard Whistling

Haunting and gorgeous track from one of the best bands currently around. Conor Mason’s vocals are incredible, particularly during the falsetto chorus and the track builds up to a dramatic climax.

3) Nothing But Thieves – Last Orders

Love the unique chords on this haunting track from the band’s ‘Graveyard Whistling’ EP.

4) Nothing But Thieves – Emergency

Another heartfelt and dark track from Nothing But Thieves. The falsetto chorus drowned in reverb in this is stunning.

5) Snow Patrol – How To Be Dead

6) Snow Patrol – Grazed Knees

7) Coldplay – Adventure of a Lifetime

Epic and eclectic disco track with amazing guitar riffs and a mesh of vocal clips. As has been the case on much of Coldplay’s material over the past four years, it’s another change in direction but one which works beautifully. Catchy and upbeat.

8) One Direction – History

Pleasant acoustic-based track from the band’s forthcoming ‘Made in the A.M’ album. A power-house middle eight breaks up the song nicely and it’s a great feel-good pop track.

9) Seal – Love

Stunning piano ballad which closes Seal’s latest album ‘Seal 7’ beautifully. Seal’s trademark raspy vocals soar gorgeously over gentle synths and lovely piano chords.

10) Ellie Goulding – Codes

Catchy track from Ellie’s latest album ‘Delirium’. It’s far more pop based than Goulding’s previous efforts but a track which works brilliantly.
