When I first set out to write a blog I never intended for it to be so focused on technology, and it wasn't until had a proper look at my page that I realised I haven't posted anything but iPhone-related blogs in way too long... So I'm fixing that now with 5 of my most recommended tracks from the likes of
Lana Del Rey and
No Doubt for you all!
I've been meaning to write another music post, but I've been so busy recently that I haven't been able to keep up with new releases let alone decide what stuff I like enough to write about. But today is a lazy Sunday and my boyfriend is angrily watching the football (QPR don't seem to be doing too well...) so I'm grateful for the opportunity to plug my headphones in and listen to some music.
First up is an artist who hasn't managed to break into the mainstream yet (although I swear I heard one of
Jedward reference her once on
Alan Carr's Chatty Man...) I don't remember when I first came across her music, but am tempted to say it was back in the days of MySpace. Her name is
Sky Ferreira. Although I could recommend
tonnes of her
music to you, simply because
Sky doesn't make
any bad music, I'm picking '
Lost In My Bedroom' from her recently released EP
Ghost.
I heard a clip of this song on her soundcloud account months ago & loved it instantly. Her echoing voice above the pumping beat is constantly stuck in my head. I'm a big fan of Sky and it frustrates me to no end that I can't buy her music on iTunes in this country, forcing me to get her music by... other methods. Anyway, I think it's just a matter of time until she has a breakthrough & I suggest you check out her discography because her music catalogue is diverse enough for everybody (even some for you little indie kids!).
My next pick is
No Doubt's '
Looking Hot'. The video to this song has been at the
centre of controversy since it was released, and since removed from their YouTube page. I find it hard to see what is so offensive about the video, but who am I to judge. I've found the video elsewhere, so have a look and listen below! (Before it gets taken down...)
