Hey music lover's, it's been a while but here is your dose of some tracks I've been enjoying this year. A few are new releases, while others have only just caught my attention. I also want to share music news from some of my friends which you can check out and support.
Tracks (This may not be the exact order I'd put these tracks, it's more in order of the best transition between styles)
- Jacqui Bennett & Max Winfield - Turn Down The Lights (Lizzie Curious Remix): Starting off with a bright and energetic track which will not fail to get the party started!
- Leanne Louise - Growing Up: If you need a boost for the new year, this is all you. Positive, powerful, motivational with a lively D&B track underneath. She also has a fun UKG track out with Kroose "The One" which I'm also enjoying right now.
- Jamie Jones & Jazzy - We Groovin: One of my all time favourite's right now. This has such a gorgeous chilled yet funky summer vibe, rhythmic beats and catchy vocals.
- Sonny Fodera, D.O.D, Poppy Baskcomb - Think About Us: There's something about this track which is just heady. The production brings exciting rises, moody basslines and a rhythmic beat together with a catchy vocal.
- James Hype - Waterfalls (ft. Sam Harper & Bobby Harvey): This one has that energetic beat but also brings an edgy tone on the vocals.
- 4andre - Tease Me: Yep, it's all over TikTok and I'm loving it with a catchy beat and fun vocals.
- Alok & Jazzy - The Heat: Along the same lines as we groovin - this is energetic but also gives that relaxed, sunshine feeling.
- BBYx - 2005: To put it simply, this is a hair-whipping, jump-up naughty rave track!
- Too Much · Dove Cameron: Catchy lyrics, girl power to the core. This reminds me of Lady Gaga's early work and has a fun dance energy.
- Sammy Virji - If U Need It: This one brings a sexy attitude and that deep, dark club mood.
- Charli XCX - Von Dutch: This has a bit of a nostalgic vibe when that dirty bass drops, you just want to go a little wild!
- Doja Cat - Jealous Type: The strong strides of an 80's beat blended with Doja's soft vocals and a fresh style.
- JoJo - Ready To Love: Remembering her chart toppers from the noughties, she's back with this sultry contemporary number which I adore.
- Kehlani - Folded: Another sultry R&B track which boasts of sweet melodic vocals and a smooth track.
- AJ Tracey & Jorja Smith - Crush: A edgy track full of bass and an amazing complex creation when Jorja's incredible voice kicks in.
- FooR x Wavysof - Oh No: A dark bassline and a kicky beat with great attitude in the vocals.
- Haley Joelle & Oskar Med K - I Think I'm Addicted: Another TikTok find - nice production and catchy lyrics.
