Below I have listed a few of the “new” songs which I have
been enjoying this week. I say “new” in quotation marks as some of these songs
are not that recent as I have not been exposing myself to the radio and other
such things lately. I’ve decided that in
this New Year, as well as all my other New Year’s Resolutions, I am also going
to broaden my musical horizons. A few years ago, I used to listen to far more
music that I do now, and I think the turn of the New Year is a great time to
start again and fill my ears with glorious tunes.
Anyway, here is my list of songs (OH YES ANOTHER LIST.) I’ve
tried to include a variety of popular genres.

I can tell that Lana Del Ray is going to
be absolutely massive in 2012. First saw her on Jools Holland, but to be
honest, I wasn’t very impressed, she seemed a bit too nervous, but after
listening to the entire album, I am completely converted. Her first
single,
Video Games was absolutely stunning, just like the rest of her album
(“Born to
Die”) and her face. She describes herself as a “gangsta Nancy Sinatra”,
which
is an epic name.

This song is kind of old, and at first I
didn’t like it all, as I am not really a Kasabian fan. But after XFM insisted on
repeating this, a ridiculous number of times in one day, it has become rather
annoyingly catchy.
o
Who doesn’t love a good house track? Think this
was on an advert and I love the music video. The random dancing Chinese lady
just makes it that bit more awesome.
~BONUS NUGGET OF
KNOWLEDGE~
Did you Lana Del Ray’s
real name is actually Elizabeth Grant? And Avicii’s real name is Tim Bergling. Under
the name of Tim Berg, he released the track “Seek Bromance” in 2010. I thought
Levels sounded similar to something else I had heard before!
o
DAYYMM this is so good. That is all.
o
Quite ironic, I really dislike you me at six,
almost as much as I dislike Oli Sykes. But I surprising find this song very
annoyingly good, probably because it reminds me of early Lostprophets circa
2005, when they wrote their best music, or The Blackout.
o
So powerful and ultimately very chilling.
Probably one of the best off her “Ceremonials” album. Makes the hairs at the
back of my neck stand up.
o
Described as a “girl band trio with attitude”,
Stooshe are 3 girls from South London who are on the BBC Sound of 2012 List,
along with good old Flux Pavillion mentioned above. I first saw heard them on
Mary Ann Hobbs radio show a month back, as the “game-changer” or something like
that. I am no means any expert in hip, urban music or whatever you would call it,
but this song is very catchy. I like how there is a story line to the song,
which is said to be based on a true story. It really does reminds me of Lily
Allen’s “Knock ‘Em Out” from “Alright, Still” (which is a great song!) back
in 2007, with its use of talking/rapping style to portray the story
line, and of course it’s use of humour.
The last song on my list is not new in the slightest, but
it’s been in my head all week… Such a guilty pleasure.
This is my favourite line:
“It's nice to be a lunatic”
I agree Mr Dury.
Wow, that was actually quite fun to compile that list.
Perhaps I should make it into a regular feature like “New Music Mondays”, but
not are lame as that.
What songs have you been enjoying this week?

P.S. Reading this back, I really do need to add some new
adjectives to my vocabulary, and really stop saying “really” so much! Argh!
P.P.S I should learn how to use HTML, would really make embedding stuff way easier.
