Let’s talk about Charlie Puth’s best and most underrated song ‘BOY’, taken from 2018’s ‘Voicenotes‘.
When Charlie Puth first came on the scene, I was pretty unenthused. The likes of ‘Marvin Gaye‘ and ‘One Call Away‘, whilst both undeniably catchy Pop songs, grated on me and I dismissed him as annoying, immature and generic Pop.

Another month, another mixtape! It feels like a second ago since I posted the last one, but I was late with January’s.
I really, really love this collection of songs and am excited to share them. My hope is always that you will find something new, whether you read the whole blog, scan read or just listen to previews.
I know we are all short on time, therefore I’m going to star including my Essential 3 picks at the top for those wanting to read a bitesize edition.
So with no further ado, let’s dive in!

The idea? I love music (if you hadn’t already figured), especially discovering and sharing new finds. So on the last weekend of each month (late this time due to ill health), I’ll be posting a selection of songs I’ve been devouring that month. A selection of old and new. Some stuff will be commercial and some won’t. There are no rules, just songs which speak to me.

When Sophie Ellis-Bextor released iconic pop gem ‘Murder on the Dancefloor‘ in the early noughties, would she have thought it would be a smash again 22 years later? Probably not. Yet, whilst always being a Pop staple in the midst of many Spotify playlists and still being played on radio from time to time, the song naturally faded somewhat from the public’s conciousness. That was until the release of black comedy psychological thriller ‘Saltburn’ at the tail end of 2023.
