1) Circa Waves – T Shirt Weather
Catchy, summery indie fun. Love this band at the moment and I love this song. Great to listen to in the Spring sunshine.
2) Circa Waves – My Love
Staying loyal to their fun sound, this song is a little more ballad-y and I love the chord progression in this. Probably my favourite from the album. Great tune.
[Only decent version on YouTube at the moment]
3) Circa Waves – Deserve This
Another slightly slower track from the band’s début album. Pretty little song with a gorgeous soft chorus.

4) The 1975 – So Far (It’s Alright)
Still an absolute tune. Slightly repetitive, maybe but I love the feel of this track. So catchy.
5) Will Young – Love Revolution
SO glad Will’s back. Wasn’t sure about this at first but it grows on me more with every listen and it’s a great song. Looking forward to the album.
6) The Weeknd – Earned it
I’d heard this a fair but but hadn’t put 2 and 2 together to realise it was this song by The Weeknd that everyone keeps talking about. Dramatic, powerful and a great song. The 50 Shades soundtrack is definitely worth a listen. Awesome selection of music.
7) Brandon Flowers – Can’t deny my love
There’s something rather ambient and 80’s about this with its sweeping synths, tribal drums and squeaky guitars. Good song.
8) Lawson – I Got You
Whilst one of my favourite bands, their new single ‘Roads’ doesn’t do anything for me. After discovering this new song as a live performance on YouTube, my hope and faith in this band was restored, however. Catchy, uplifting and loyal to their sound. Awesome track.
9) One Direction/Zayn Malik – I Won’t Mind
There is still much confusion on if this is Zayn’s solo material or a demo for one of Zayn’s songs that would have been on One Direction’s ‘Four’ album. Whoever this song belongs to, the demo that has appeared online is stunning. Raw and simplistic as a demo should be, I just really, really love this.
10) The Japanese House – Still
Smooth.
