The Music Box: An update
Hello!
You may have realised that this blog has been lying rather dormant in the last few months. I began my first full time job in September and have found it difficult to strike the work-life balance necessary to keep my hobbies, such as this blog, going.
I love this blog, I really do. I’ve spent hours working on it over the years – perfecting reviews, compiling playlists, playing with the layout etc but unfortunately it is not a viable project with my job. I must be honest with myself in that I cannot invest the time and effort needed to continue its growth.
Therefore things will change in 2017. I want it to continue this blog’s life promoting new up & coming artists and songs etc but it will be on a less regular basis.
Here’s what I aim to keep:
- Monthly Mixtape
- Themed Playlists
- Music Monday (possibly an abridged version)
So thank you for the support this year – whether you’ve read loads of our posts or just one or two, every read is greatly appreciated.
Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Marc
The Music Box.
October Mixtape
This month’s mixtape is a little heavy in melancholia but that’s the beauty of music – getting us through the rough times.
I’m not posting much here anymore because I am struggling to find the time. I am not 100% sure I get much traffic anyway. I continue to post these monthly mixtapes because I like to share what I am listening to and they don’t take long to compile/post.
Enjoy.
September Mixtape
It’s September which means it’s time for the September mixtape!
We’d have loved to have included some material from Frank Ocean’s ‘Blonde’ album but unfortunately it is not available to share. Still, here’s twenty tracks we have been loving listening to in this past month.
Music Monday – Volume Ninety Eight
Welcome back to Music Monday. We’ve been a little bit AWOL in the last few months and for that, we’re sorry! Music Monday blogs will now feature five tracks instead of ten to enable us to continue to bring you the best in new music. Enjoy these 5 massive tracks!
1) Mollie King – Back To You
Member of The Saturdays, Mollie King has delivered an incredible and triumphant debut solo single. ‘Back To You’ is a moody electropop track with an equally stunning cinematic video.
2) Usher – Crash
Usher at his most underrated is Usher at his best. Minimalist yet slick and catchy, this moody piece of R&B utilises Usher’s gorgeous and faultless falsetto over jittery percussion.
3) Sons of Sonix ft Melanie C – Numb
Ex member of the Spice Girls Melanie C once again proves her versatility and worth as a solo artist on this huge summer smash. This huge tropical house track is a collaboration with London production duo Sons of Sonix.
4) Christine and The Queens – Tilted
This simplistic yet effortlessly catchy artpop track is without a doubt one of the best tracks of 2016. It may have been around for a while but we haven’t had the opportunity to include it in a Music Monday edition yet so here it is!
5) Tieks FT Dan Harkna – Sunshine (Extended Mix)
This huge house track has earned a surge of popularity from its use in the new Fiat 500 TV advert. Repetitive, maybe but its house piano riffs and sturdy vocals make it a feel-good classic.
August Mixtape
We’ve reached August which can only mean one thing… here’s the August mixtape!
This month’s is a hybrid of Pop and R&B with a few curveballs… enjoy!
