double music monday

Firstly, I just want to say sorry for the lack of updates lately. I did write a few blog posts that I intended on posting, but some stuff happened, and it didn't feel right anymore. I only have one rule for myself when it comes to blogging, and it's pretty simple: "If you're not feeling it, don't post it." Blogging is something I do for fun, and I'd rather not post for a while than post something I'm not proud of, or something that doesn't feel right at the time.

Anyway, it is Monday again, and I have two songs from different groups I want to share with you. The first one is a song called Golden Ticket by Highasakite, which is a group I've written about before. This song was released on the 8th of April, and I pretty much had it on repeat last week. The other song I'm sharing with you is I Wanna Know by Alesso ft. Nico & Vinz. This one was released on the 1st of April, so it's also very new. Both songs have really fun and uplifting melodies, so I hope you will enjoy listening to them as much as I am!

Music Monday: Kygo

One thing I've learned about myself recently is that I'm very emotional. If I'm not between a three and a seven on the emotional scale, I'm crying. I'm crying if it's too sad, and I'm crying if I'm too excited. Now, as I'm writing these words I'm listening to Kygo's set from Ultra, and I'm reeeally struggling to contain my excitement.

I mentioned in my "Get to know me" blog post that Kygo was the artist I listened to the most in 2015. I don't know if he holds that title so far this year, but judging from his latest singles, I'm pretty sure he will be when his album is released. So far this year he has released two singles, Fragile ft. Labrinth and Raging ft. Kodaline. Fragile is one of Kygo's more slow songs, and that's saying something considering his music is pretty chill in the first place. I had to listen to this song two times before I completely fell for it. I think it was the part at 2:26 that really sold me. The song is a bit different from what we've heard from him so far, but the vocals, melody and lyrics works so well together. It's nice to hear something different from Kygo, and Labrinth is really doing it justice.

Raging is more like what we're used to hear from Kygo. After hearing the chorus for the first time I was I dancing around my dorm. IT'S SO, SO GOOD! This is definitely going to be played a lot in in the summer. I'm listening to it right now, and I would say I'm at 6.9 at the emotional scale. The combination of this song and the sunny weather today makes me grin from ear to ear, haha. It was co-written by James Bay, and that makes me even happier.

Hearing Kygo's new material makes me incredibly excited to see him live in August! There's another single coming on April the 22nd, and his album is out on the 13th of May. I can't wait!





(This is not a music review, it's just me sharing some music that I've been listening to lately.

Also, kudos to those of you who got the Kristen Bell sloth reference in the beginning!)
