Hey! Hope you’re doing well and enjoying this glorious sunny weather, if you’re in the UK. It just makes everything feel that little bit brighter, doesn’t it?
I’m super excited to share these songs with you. It’s been another brilliant month of music, and the longlist was extensive. Going forward, I won’t be sharing the entire playlist—just the top 20 tracks I’ve been enjoying. That’s probably still quite a lot, but I couldn’t narrow it down any further!
I’m hoping there’s something here for everyone. Lots of Pop, of course, but also Soul, R&B, indie-pop, Country, and Folk.
So dreamy and such a beautiful song. Liam Gallagher is awesome.
2) The 1975 – Intro/Set3
Understated opening track to their ‘Sex’ EP. Smooth and jittery, building up to an awesome R&B track. Got a great groove and some sick beats.
3) Take That – Today I’ve lost you
Somehow this beautiful and underrated track managed to escape my iTunes. After coming across it again on Spotify, I have fallen head over heels back in love with it again. It’s so soft, so stunning and Gary Barlow’s vocals are silky smooth. A perfect Barlow-ballad.
4) Pharrell Williams – Fun, fun, fun
Pharrell is just a genius. After watching ‘Despicable Me’ I was reminded of what a truly great, uplifting song this is. The harmonies are amazing and I love the summery, happy feel of the song.
5) S Club Juniors – Automatic High
Massive guilty pleasure – both the pop-group and the song! Reminds me of being very young. Irresistibly catchy.
6) Prince – Better with time
Such a beautiful, romantic little song.
(Not available to share due to Prince being highly irritating and not allowing much of his music to be on YouTube)
7) David Archuleta – Crush
Someone reminded me of this song again recently and how damn good it is! Reminds me of being fourteen and listening to it over and over again. Bit of cheesy pop at its best. Lyrics are easy to relate to. One of the best chorus’ in a pop song ever.
8) Kelly Rowland – Daylight
Really underrated Kelly track. So damn catchy and uplifting.
9) Stardust – Music sounds better with you
Bloody repetitive but SO damn good. Catchy as hell. One of the best dance tracks ever released.
10) MN8 – Dreaming
One of the soppiest, cheesiest but most beautiful romantic songs by a boyband ever. Not many would be familiar with this song but it’s gorgeous.
