I Made You a Mixtape.

Ra Ra Riot- “Water”

Opia- “Falling”

Jack Garratt- “Fire”

This guy is just so talented and this song is aptly named, as it is indeed “fire”.

DMA’S- “Delete”

This reminds me of early-mid 90s Brit Pop. Like sort of Oasis-like vibes? It’s clear that’s their influence.

Iwan Rheon- “Tongue Tied”

Halsey- “Colors”

RHODES- “Turning Back Around”

IRIS- “Follow Me”

Anderson East- “Satisfy Me”

Wow. MAJOR Ray Lamontagne vibes here. Good thing is that I love him. 

The Lone Bellow- “Take My Love”

Not going to lie, when I first heard this song I definitely thought it was Marcus Mumford; regardless, I’m totally in love with it. 

CHVRCHES- “Leave A Trace”

Galantis- “Peanut Butter Jelly”

Sometimes you hear a pop song so ridiculous that at first you think, “Surely this is a joke...” but then you hear is more and suddenly you’re in deep. You’re defending it. You’re sharing it with friends. You’re screaming along to it in your car. You sing it in the shower.

For me, right now, it’s this song by the Swedish electronic duo, Galantis. I blogged their song, Runaway (U & I) a few months ago.

Elle King- “Ex’s and Oh’s”

You can currently find me scream-singing along to this hit. It’s so fucking fun. I love the growl to her voice. There’s a good blues/rock quality to her voice.

Rayland Baxter- “Yellow Eyes”

One of my favourite albums of all time is Whiskeytown’s, Strangers Almanac; apparently alt-country is my weakness. The twang guitar in the background...makes me think of that album.
