Hi everyone, just a quick
note first to say I've been having some annoying pc/internet issues this past
week, but finally I can now post this post! YEAY :-)
So, I have been loving a lot
of new music recently and thought it would be good to share them with you,
because of course it's always nice to find great new music to relax to :-)
Troye Sivan – Right from
when I first heard Happy Little Pill last year, I was hooked. To see this young guy on youtube come out
with such amazing music and wise insightful words is so inspiring. If you haven't heard Troye's music already,
go and check out his channel. I'm still constantly
listening to HLP as well as The Fault in Our Stars, and I can't wait to get the
new EP called Wild, which came out a couple of days ago!
I've been loving the little teaser snippets of the new tracks which
Troye's been uploading on his youtube channel, I think Ease and Fools are
definitely going to be new favourites (of course Wild is already on my Amazon
wish list) :-)
Halestorm – Last Summer
I discovered a really great track called Shatter Me by Lindsey Sterling (which
you may remember I mentioned in last year's Autumn Favourites). I was
slightly obsessed with this song and played it all summer, I still listen to it
a lot now and so of course I was really happy to find out that Lzzy Hale who
sang the vocals, had her own band, wow
was I happy! I didn't realise at the
time that they'd been around so long but I've really been enjoying discovering
their music as I love her voice and the hard rock sound. Miss The Misery is one of
my favourites, as well as Amen, Freak Like Me and Mz.Hyde. I'm still working my way through the massive
collection of amazing songs on their YouTube playlist and they're quickly
becoming one of my favourite rock bands :-)
Alex McMillan – Being a
massively huge Linkin Park fan, I literally stumbled on this guy about a year
ago now while looking for LP covers. I
have never heard anyone sing like Chester Bennington (lead singer of LP for
those who don't know) SO well and sound so incredibly like him! Not only that, he is a total one-man show, he
plays the guitar, keyboard, sings, everything and comes out with perfect covers
of Linkin Park tracks, best I've ever found!
His cover of The Catalyst is just pure
genius! But the main reason I'm writing about Alex today, is because of his own
music under the name Razor Red Noise. I love
the digital hard rock sound that's made me such a huge Linkin Park fan over the
years. His lyrics and very deep and
thoughtful and I really love the softer more ambient tracks too.
Control is
absolutely amazing, vocally I think it's one of his best tracks, the music is
incredible, it's just one of those songs you just can't stop listening to!! I love Mountains and Into The Sun too, but
thankfully there's loads more on his website to listen to that I've not even
had chance to hear yet, so I'm very excited to do that. I just wish I had the talent and a mind like
his, to be able to come up with such incredible music!
*******
Now as anyone who knows me
will tell you, I live and breath rock music, I can go months without listening
to anything else! But here and there
just randomly out of the blue, something (or someone) else will catch my
attention and I don't care whether it's rock, dance, country (eek) or anything
else, if it's good I'll love it, and that leads me on to the next person that
I've been non-stop listening to for about the past month (solidly, every day, I
need help!)
Hobbie Stuart - Some of you
may have already heard of this lovely lad as apparently he was on X-Factor this
year and caused a bit of a stir especially with the ladies (even some of the
judges so I heard)! This was news to me, I only found this out a couple of days
ago, because I don't actually watch X-Factor anymore, (too much hype and drama
these days!)
I first saw him about a long
while ago on several of Gabriella Lindley's vlogs and main channel videos. But it wasn't until I saw the gorgeous Saying Goodbye video that
I heard his music. Since then, I have
been working my way through his YouTube channel and loving pretty much everything on
there, and non-stop listening to his songs ever since, I am officially
obsessed! I'm in love with his voice and
the sound and style of his music, and well lets just point out the obvious here
girls, he is extremely easy on the eye and completely gorgeous!! Wouldn't you agree? ;-)
I love that some of his
tracks are so chilled and up beat like How You Love It and yet
others are wonderfully soft and romantic, just beautiful, like Day One, but my
absolute favourite has to be When I'm Gone, his new track, it's just amazing I
love it and cannot stop playing it :-)
I really enjoy seeing him in
Gabby's vlogs too, he so sweet, chilled and funny, and he does a really cute
impression of Gabby that just has me laughing every time :-) He's also filmed a really lovely version of
Ellie Goulding's song Love Me Like You Do with Gabby (love her voice too), so if you
haven't seen that already go have a listen :-)
It really amazes me how much
great music is out there that so many people don't get to hear. That's one of the reasons I really like these
types of posts so we can share all the stuff we listen to and help each other
discover and share great music. I love finding new tracks to listen to and
there's so much I've yet to find, it's exciting :-)
Until Next Time Stay Happy ♥
