Tune Tuesday: November Playlist

  

 

Hey guys!

 

 

Since we're halfway through November, I thought I'd post a playlist for this week's Tune Tuesday. So here are my favourite songs at the moment:

 

 

1. Starving - Hailee Steinfeld & Zedd

  

Okay, yes, I know I included this song in my October Playlist, but I just can't get enough of it! I play it literally every day!

 

 

2. Closer - The Chainsmokers & Halsey

  

Pretty much the same as 'Starving'! I seriously can't stop listening to 'Closer'! It's so catchy and I just love Halsey's voice. I'll admit I wasn't really keen on The Chainsmokers when I first heard about them, but they have definitely grown on me! I love the artists The Chainsmokers have teamed up with this year.

 

 

3. One of a Kind - Busted

  

Ah, Busted, the band I'll always love! So so so glad they're releasing music again!

 

 

4. Love Me Now - John Legend

  

How amazing is John Legend?! He seems like such a nice guy too.

 

 

5. All We Know - The Chainsmokers & Phoebe Ryan

  

I love Phoebe Ryan. She has a really unique and haunting voice. 'All We Know' has been played on repeat this month.

 

 

6. Don't Wanna Know - Maroon 5 & Kendrick Lamar

  

I pretty much love anything by Maroon 5!

 

 

7. Famous - Nathan Sykes

  

Nathan Sykes has such a beautiful voice. I was never really a fan of The Wanted, but he's probably my fave. I love the old-school, soulful vibe to Nathan's voice.

 

 

 8. Paramore

 

Okay, so this isn't exactly a song, but I am loving Paramore at the moment. My fave songs by Paramore include Still Into You, Misery Business and Decode.

 

 

 

What would be on your November playlist? Let me know!

 

 

Hasta luego!

Tune Tuesday: October Playlist

Hey guys!

Can you believe it's already November?! Where has this year gone?! I hope you all had a great Halloween - I personally didn't do anything special since I'm more into Christmas and I couldn't really be bothered to organise anything, but I did watch loads of films, including Teen Witch and Life After Beth.

Anyway, today I will be sharing my October Playlist. It's about time I did another monthly playlist, don't you think? I haven't done one since the end of August! There are so many good songs out at the moment, and I've listed some of them below. Enjoy!

 

1. Million Reasons - Lady Gaga

 

2. Body Moves - DNCE

 

3. Starving - Hailee Steinfeld & Zedd

 

4. Scars to Your Beautiful - Alessia Cara

 

5. Fake It - Bastille

 

6. Mercy - Shawn Mendes

 

7. Closer - The Chainsmokers & Halsey

 

8. Hurts - Emile Sande

 

9. Kids - One Republic

 

10. Take Me Down - The Pretty Reckless

 

 

I'm absolutely loving Bastille, DNCE and Shawn Mendes at the moment! Lady Gaga's new songs are great too - they're different to her previous songs, but in a good way! How amazing is Emile Sande's voice?!

 

What songs are you loving at the moment?

 

Hasta luego!

Tune Tuesday: Summer Playlist 2016

Hey guys!

It's been soooo long since I last posted a Tune Tuesday post! But I've decided to FINALLY return to this feature and share my summer playlist! It's a bit late, considering it's almost the end of August, but oh well!

 

 

1. WILD - Troye Sivan and Alessia Cara

Troye Sivan is brilliant! I first discovered him at SitC two years ago when I heard Happy Little Pill.

2. Chasing Shadows - Matt DeFreitas

I heard Matt DeFreitas singing in the open mic room at SitC this year and I immediately went on Youtube to discover more of his covers! Chasing Shadows is an original song by Matt.

3. Heathens - Twenty One Pilots

I recently discovered Twenty One Pilots and I've had this song on repeat ever since!

4. Stressed Out - Twenty One Pilots

Another song I love by Twenty One Pilots (and the first song I heard by them!).

5. Ride - Twenty One Pilots

Can you see a theme running through this playlist?! Btw, you have to check out Alex Aiono's cover - it's amazing!

6. Bury It - CHVRCHES and Hayley Williams

I literally love anything with Hayley Williams, and since CHVRCHES is great too, this is one of my favourite songs I've been listening to this summer.

7. Don't Let Me Down - The Chainsmokers and Daya

So I'm not that keen on the dance element to this song, but it is just so catchy and it's the perfect summer tune! Daya is amazing! And she's only 17!!!!! (I mean, she does look really young but still...)

8. This Is What You Came For - Calvin Harris and Rihanna

Does anyone else think that this doesn't really sound like Rihanna? I was surprised when I found out she was the singer! This is another song I've had on repeat all summer. 

9. Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes

Love this song!

10. Back to Church - Alyson Stoner

So catchy! Remember her from Cheaper by the Dozen and Camp Rock?!

11. Snow White - Christina Grimmie

You might remember that Christina Grimmie sadly passed away at her concert a few months ago. I was just starting to discover more of her original songs at the time (I'd previously been listening to her covers). Snow White is probably my favourite song by Christina Grimmie. I also love Shrug, Cliché and Anybody's You.

12. Send My Love (To Your New Lover) - Sam Tsui, Madilyn Bailey, Alex G and Kurt Hugo Schneider

This song was originally by Adele, but I have to be honest, I'm not that keen on it. However, the cover done by Sam Tsui, Madilyn Bailey, Alex G and Kurt Hugo Schneider is just incredible!

13. Wiser - Madilyn Bailey

Madilyn Bailey is one of my favourite Youtubers and her song Wiser features on her debut original songs album.

14. Into You - Ariana Grande

Another catchy song!

What songs would be on your Summer playlist? Let me know in the comments!

Hasta luego!

Tune Tuesday: December Playlist

Hey guys!


Well, as you can see, it's been a while since I last posted. That was totally not supposed to happen. I had so many posts plans but I've been spending so much time on my essays...and they're not even any where near finished. Will never understand how people can write 2000+ word essays in a day or two. Just crazy!


Anyway, with Christmas Day on Friday, I thought I might as well share my playlist for this month today. The songs are a mix of Christmas and non-Christmas ones. Enjoy!


1. All I Want For Christmas - Mariah Carey

This has been my favourite Christmas song since, well, forever. I can listen to it over and over again and still not get bored of it! I know a lot of people like Fairytale of New York, but I seriously can't stand it - I have to cover my ears as soon as I hear it!


2. Last Christmas - Wham!

Second fave Christmas song! I know it's not amazing or anything, but you have to admit it's good to sing along to!


3. The Feeling - Justin Bieber & Halsey

Justin Bieber has really upped his game recently, and this song with Halsey (who is also brill) is no exception.


4. Sorry - Justin Bieber

I listen to this at least once every day. Is it too late to say sorry? (Sorry, I had to) (HA!)


5. Focus - Ariana Grande

I kinda like Ariana Grande's songs...but at the same time, I find her really annoying...but I quite like 'Focus'.


6. Rock Bottom - Hailee Steinfeld

Yes, I know she's two years younger than me. IDC! She has a great voice!


7. Over And Over Again - Nathan Sykes

Amazing!


8. One Call Away - Charlie Puth

Charlie Puth is a new fave <3 p="">


What are your favourite Christmas songs?


Hasta luego!

Tune Tuesday: November Playlist

Hey guys!


How are you all? I've just realised that this is my first blog post since Halloween! Hope you all enjoyed Halloween (and Bonfire Night too)! I went to a house party for a bit and dressed up as Carrie (from Carrie). My outfit kinda failed and people had to ask who I was, but oh well!


Today I will be sharing my playlist for November. As with my October playlist, this month's playlist will comprise of my favourite songs at the moment.


1. Confident - Demi Lovato

2. Perfect - One Direction

3. Hello - Adele

4. Hands Of Love - Miley Cyrus

5. Used to Love You - Gwen Stefani

6. Same Old Love - Selena Gomez

7. Sober - Selena Gomez

8. Night Like This - Hilary Duff



I'm absolutely loving Demi Lovato's Confident. It is so catchy! I could honestly listen to it over and over again! The same goes for Hilary Duff's Night Like This! I'm so glad she's still making music! It's great that Adele is back too! I'm kinda embarrassed to include One Direction but I do like their two most recent songs, Drag Me Down and Perfect. I'll be honest and say that I'm not really a fan of Selena Gonz but Sober and Same Old Love have been stuck in my head ever since I first heard them.


What are your favourite songs at the moment? What do you think of Adele's new song? I'd love to hear your thoughts!


Hasta luego!

Tune Tuesday: October Playlist

 

 

 Hey guys!

You may have noticed that I haven't done any Tune Tuesday posts for a while (since the beginning of September to be precise - not as long ago as I thought, but still). I have be meaning to, but I keep getting sudden sparks of inspirations for other posts. I finally sat down on Sunday afternoon and drafted this post. I've discovered some great songs recently and thought I'd share them with you. 

 

 

1. Pyramids - Noonie Bao

 

Noonie Bao isn't a singer many people are familiar, but her song 'Pyramids' is so catchy!

 

 

2. White Houses - Vanessa Carlton

 

 

All this time and I've only ever heard ONE song by Vanessa Carlton ('A Thousand Miles' of course)! That is just so crazy! 'White Houses' is another good song by Vanessa Carlton - I don't know why 'A Thousand Miles' is her only well-known song.

 

 

3. Sober - Selena Gomez

 

 

I don't particularly like Selena Gomez, but her two latest songs ('Sober' and 'Good For You') are quite catchy.

 

 

4. Locked Away - R. City & Adam Levine

 

 

Anything with Adam Levine is bound to be great, right?

 

 

5. Love Myself - Hailee Steinfeld

 

 

Love this!

 

 

6. WILD - Troye Sivan

 

 

Great song!

 

 

7. Bad For Me - Megan & Liz

 

 

A bit of an old song, but doesn't stop me from liking it!

 

 

8. Stole the Show - Kygo & Parson James

 

 

Love love love!

 

 

9. Better When I'm Dancin' - Meghan Trainor

 

 

My favourite song by Meghan Trainor! It's brilliant!

 

 

10. On My Mind - Ellie Goulding

 

 

Very catchy! She's definitely done something to her lips though, it's kinda annoying. Just leave your lips as they are people!

 

 

 

What songs would be on your playlist for this month? Let me know in the comments!

 

 

Hasta luego!
