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!)

Music Monday: WDSTCK
Hello there! It's another Music Monday here on my blog, and I hope your ears are ready to hear some new music. Today I'm presenting you with a with a band I found last year. A friend were playing one of their songs at a party, and I immediately had to ask him about who it was. The song he was playing is called Flowers, and it's the one I'm sharing with you guys today! The group is called WDSTCK, but other than that there's not much information to find about them online. However I did find out that they're located in Bergen, which is where I'm (almost) from!Whenever I hear a really good song I've never heard before, I always assume that the artist or band is from another country. Which is why I was really surprised when I learned that the creators of this song are from Norway. They make modern eloctropop, but I don't really know how to describe this song, if I'm honest. It's just such a fun, upbeat and cool song, and it's perfect to listen to pretty much at any time and place. My words aren't really doing it justice, so you should let the music do the talking. Enjoy!

VIDEO: Travelling in the Netherlands
A little video from when I was travelling around the Netherlands last summer. While editing this I realised that I want to vlog this summer as well, even though I'm not travelling anywhere. It's a fun way to capture memories, and I really enjoy editing videos. Even though I can tell my editing skills are a bit rusty at the moment... I'll get better in time, just need a little practice. Also, I know I don't have a lot of readers, but let me know if vlogging is something you'd like me to do? Just from time to time, when I feel like it's interesting or fun for you to watch. A little feedback is always nice, right? Says the girl who rarely comments on other people's blogs... haha. I'm working on it! Have a nice day!

Music Monday: Maverick Sabre
A few years back I was sitting at school with two of my classmates. It was lunchtime, but we were still sitting in our classroom just eating and hanging out. We all wanted to listen to music, but it was at a very early stage of our friendship. So no-one wanted to play their music in case the other two didn't like it. We eventually persuaded Marius to play one of his playlists because we knew he had good taste in music. After a few songs I heard one that I found particularly interesting. It had such a chill vibe to it, like you could listen to it all day without getting tired of it. We actually did that at school once, and we had it on repeat until someone eventually complained.
The song is called I need by Maverick Sabre. However, it's not the original version, so it's not on Spotify or anything like that. Which is also the reason why I have been searching for it for so long, and today I finally found it again! I squealed when I found it, that's how excited I was, haha. I hope you'll like it as much as I do!
