Music has been very important to me these past few months and it has been making me very happy. I've compiled a huge playlist of my fave songs over on Spotify, but for this post I've separated the ones that make me dance into a smaller playlist. If you're looking for a lil' pick-me-up, click here and check out these sick tunes. You'll notice a lot of Rex Orange County, just trust me on this one, that's how it's supposed to be. I hope these make you as happy as they make me. Enjoy!
I am coming back after a break that was way too long and I'm about to share some music with you. Again. This time, however, I'm not talking about my favourite albums, but making a playlist of some songs that I've had on repeat for the past few days. I've gone back to listening to indie music like I used to years ago. It's a vibe. I love having these in the background whilst studying as they're nice and chill and not too distracting. I found most of these on Deezer and I'm in love with this playlist. Get your headphones ready, this is gonna be a long one. I've created this playlist on Deezer, so if you'd like to listen to it as a whole a little bit easier click here and enjoy.

*I apologize if your OCD is triggered that there's 21 songs and not an even number, but that's just how it had to be this time.
I am a bad blogger and that's just something we all have to learn to live with. I haven't been in the blogging mindset, but I've become obsessed with some music so I'm here to share cause I'm not selfish and sharing is caring.
Years & Years - Palo Santo
As with the first album, for some reason it took me a bit of time to fully commit to listening to it, but since I finally heard the whole thing, I haven't been able to stop listening to it. I love it! I can't exactly decide whether I prefer this one or the first one, but it doesn't really matter, does it? What matters is that this is an amazing album that you should go and listen to. It can lift your mood up if that's what you want, or it can be the thing you listen to when you're down in the dumps and relate to the lyrics. That's another thing - the lyrics are absolutely beautiful, wow! It's a great little pop album with some electronic elements to it, if you ask my musically uneducated self. My fave songs are: Karma, Preacher, Lucky Escape, All For You, If You're Over Me, and that's where I'll stop myself because I could go on until I've named all the songs. Go listen to this gem!
Troye Sivan - Bloom
I mean, leave it to Troye Sivan to release the perfect collection of songs every time. Seriously, there isn't one song I don't like on this album, and that's very much the case with all of Troye's albums and EPs. It's in true Troye Sivan style, pop but with different variations and beautiful lyrics that cause a little nostalgia and make you a bit emo. It's fine, though. It's got upbeat tracks and it's got slower ones and it tugs at all of your heartstrings. My faves are: Postcard, What A Heavenly Way To Die and Seventeen. Check baby Troye out if you haven't yet.
5 Seconds of Summer - Youngblood
Taking it back to the basics and 2014 when I used to be obsessed with 5SOS. This album was a long time coming and I was very excited to hear what it would sound like. As I said, I used to love 5SOS back in the day and so my inner fangirl woke up and was ready for some new songs. All the singles they'd released before the album were fan-tas-tic! I will admit, this isn't my favourite album they've ever made, but I still enjoy listening to it. Every now and then I'll play all the 5SOS songs ever made and it makes me super nostalgic and I love it. This album is very upbeat and, in my opinion, quite different to the previous ones. If you're a fan of these boys and haven't yet given this album a listen, I urge you to do it. My favourite tracks are Valentine, Youngblood, Lie To Me, Moving Along, Talk Fast and Want You Back.
There you go, that's all I have for now. Go enjoy some music now and have fun! Till next time.
Since I have been the actual worst blogger for the past month and a half I've decided to try and make it up. I've compiled a list of the songs I'm loving at the moment and I'm sharing it on a whim - I've not been respecting the schedule anyway. So this is an apology playlist that I hope you'll like. Here are some new songs that have caught my ear.
Bloglovin | Twitter | Tumblr
Today I've been very pumped because I started my day with some tunes that put me in the best mood and I thought that it would be nice of me to share them with you because everyone should feel good and dance around their house.
1. Justin Timberlake - Filthy (THIS IS SUCH A TUNE)
13. Sam Smith - Too Good At Goodbyes (if you can't see how this is supposed to make you feel pumped, just try singing along at the top of your lungs - it's great)
BONUS TRACKS:
I know I haven't written in a while, but I've been pretty busy with uni and I've felt a lil uninspired. However, it has started snowing and a new idea immediately came to mind. I haven't made a playlist for quite some time and what's better than listening to some cool tunes while watching the snow fall outside? Well, drinking tea alongside is better. Light your candle, get some tea and enjoy these gems.
1. Michael Buble - Santa Baby (it's already December 3rd which means you were supposed to start listening to Buble about 3 days ago)
2. Niall Horan - This Town (a cosy song for a cosy afternoon spent under the duvet)
17. Arctic Monkeys - I Wanna Be Yours
19. Wet - Dreams (a very unfortunate word combination)
Bloglovin | Twitter | TumblrI've recently remembered the time of discovering a million songs and artists on 8tracks and I thought it would be fun to compile some of my favourite songs from that time into a playlist. I hope you'll enjoy it just like I've enjoyed this reminiscing experience.
2. SoMo - Bad (Wale rendition)
10. The 1975 - Sex (I actually discovered The 1975 on 8tracks and feel in love with them, starting with this song)
14. SG Lewis - Warm
17. TVÃ… - Sensual
18. The xx - Angels
Bloglovin | Twitter | TumblrHey, here's another playlist. This one contains some of the songs that I've discovered and liked recently. You're lucky I'm doing this before Niall's album is released, otherwise it would literally just be his tracklist. Enjoy!
1. Niall Horan - Too Much to Ask (newly discovered cause it just came out lol)
6. Harry Styles - The Chain (Fleetwood Mac cover)
8. Dua Lipa - New Rules (I'm a little obsessed with her atm)
12. Selena Gomez ft. Gucci Mane - Fetish (I really didn't like this one at first, but it grew on me, whoops. How weird is the video, though??)
13. Astrid S - Such A Boy (yes, I discovered this because the guy from SKAM is in it)
14. Harry Styles - Wild Thoughts (cover)
I thought rather than doing a playlist of my current favourite songs, I'd let my phone do the work for me and tell me the songs that I play the most. Let's see how obsessed I actually am with The Weeknd and Harry Styles. I'll have to curate it a little bit thought, otherwise it would be very boring, so I'll only include 3 songs per artist. This is a collection of songs that I actually have on my phone, but I do obsess over other ones that I listen to on YouTube.
1. Harry Styles - Kiwi
2. The Weeknd - Secrets
5. Harry Styles - Carolina
6. The Weeknd - Party Monster
9. Halsey - 100 Letters
10. NAV ft. The Weeknd - Some Way (it doesn't count as a 4th The Weeknd song)
12. The Weeknd - Rockin' (I can't find a proper link, sorry)
14. Hozier - Take Me to Church
17. The 1975 - Paris (can't find a good link for this one either, ugh)

You probably know I tend to obsess over music and listen to the same album for months and months until a new one comes out. Well, recently 3 of my favourite artists released new records, so I've been able to mix things up a little bit more. Here's what I've been listening to.
○ Harry Styles - Harry Styles
This is absolutely no surprise to anyone who knows me. Harry has always had a special place in my heart and now, so does this album. I love how open he is in it and I love the whole vibe of the album. I was surprised to hear something so different from One Direction, but that's the beauty of it, I guess. Although my sister doesn't agree, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that this album is a bit more of a rock record. I am obsessed with this album and out of the 3 that I'm listening to, this one is for sure my number one album. My favourite tracks are From the Dining Table, Only Angel, Kiwi and Meet Me In The Hallway. I think we can also agree that the album art is absolutely gorgeous. If you haven't yet, go listen to this album right now! If you're sceptical about it because Harry used to be in 1D, don't be.
○ Halsey - hopeless fountain kingdom
I was very afraid that I wouldn't like this album and that I would have to keep listening to Badlands whenever I wanted to listen to a bit of Halsey, but luckily that didn't happen. I would say that this album is pretty similar to Badlands, but at the same time they're quite different. I still have to listen to it loads more to be able to describe it a bit more, but the gist is that I love it. As I've already tweeted, my favourite songs off the album are Heaven in Hiding, Alone, Strangers, Walls Could Talk and Bad At Love. If you're a Halsey fan and somehow haven't heard this album yet, wait no more, go and listen to it.
○ Lorde - Melodrama
Finally! I've been waiting for this album for years literally, but unlike the Frank Ocean one, this one was totally worth the wait. I feel like she's stuck with her style and she sounds just as amazing, but I would say she's a bit more bold. I've heard it 2 days ago so I don't really have much more to say about it, but I'm sure I'll include loads of songs in my future playlists and stuff, so you'll definitely be hearing more about it. So far, my faves apart from Green Light are Perfect Places, Sober II (Melodrama), The Louvre and Hard Feelings/Loveless. Ugh, I love them all!
So, I've been loving a lot of new songs recently and I thought that was the perfect reason to make another playlist. This time I've included the YouTube links to all the songs instead of making a playlist on an app that not everyone uses. Enjoy!
1. Harry Styles - Sign of the Times
2. Niall Horan - Slow Hands
3. Lana del Rey ft. The Weeknd - Lust for Life
4. Hailee Steinfeld, Grey ft. Zedd - Starving
5. NAV ft.The Weeknd - Some Way
