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!)
