I love music, and I love changing up what I’m listening to as the seasons change. It’s been a while since I’ve done my summer edition, and I’ve been listening to a bunch of different things since then. I kind of felt like I had been listening to the same albums and the same songs all the time, so in the last couple of weeks I’ve been exploring new stuff here and there, and revisiting some older albums as well.
I’d forgotten how much I loved driving and listening to an album all the way through by an artist! It used to be the only way I’d go back and forth from school because my radio never worked, and it was always easier to just put in a CD. I don’t really do that much anymore now with Spotify Premium, but it’s been great downloading music on my phone so I can listen to anything and everything on my way to work! In the last couple of weeks I’ve downloaded so many albums that I’d love to share with you today 🙂
Albums
Strangers / Lovers – Dagny
So Dagny did this thing where she released her albums in 2 parts. The first part came out earlier this year around April I want to say, and the second part came out earlier this month. I’m absolutely obsessed with the new songs! The only downside is how fast the album goes by listening to it from start to finish.
Lost on You – LP
Last fall, I was introduced to LP’s song “Strange.” I listened to that song about a million times, and still do to this day! Although I’ve loved a couple of her songs, I never took the time to listen to her albums all the way through until recently. I can tell you one thing, I wish I would’ve earlier because this is such a fantastic album. She has such a unique voice that you don’t hear anywhere else. Some favorites on this album are definitely “No Witness,” “Tightrope,” and “You Want It All.” I can’t get enough of this album; it’s been on repeat on my drives to work!
Heart to Mouth – LP
Of course I had to check out more of LP’s stuff, and this is another great album. I had already known “Girls Go Wild,” which is one of my all time favorite songs, but this is another great album as well. Some of my favorites are “Hey Nice To Know Ya,” “Die For Your Love,” and “Special.” LP is popular, but not nearly as popular as what she deserves! I’d love to see her in concert one day, that is if we can ever go to concerts again.
mama’s boy – LANY
I’ve known a couple of LANY songs these last few years, but I never listened to their album from start to finish until this month. It worked out perfectly because they had just released this new album earlier this month. Some of my favorites have to be “cowboy in LA,” “good guys,” and “you!”
The 1975 – The 1975
I’ve found myself gravitating back toward this album, as I always do because The 1975 is my favorite band. I love the deluxe version of this album, and I’ve been listened to the second half of the album a lot on my drives back home at night.
Through the Deep, Dark Valley – The Oh Hellos
Just like The 1975 album, this is one that I fall back on quite a bit. I love this album, and it’s perfect for the fall time. It’s probably top 3 one of my favorite albums out there, the lyrics and the music is just so beautiful! This is definitely an underrated group that should be way more popular than what they are!
Vinyls
The Best of Bread – Bread
I mentioned this in my vinyl collection post, so I won’t go into much detail on here, but gosh, what a great group from the 70’s.
Anthology – The Temptations
I finally got around to listening to this album on my record player, and my goodness it did not disappoint! I “borrowed” this from my Dad, but based on that first listen I’m not planning on returning it!
Playlists on Spotify
//FALL//
While I’ve mostly been listening to albums, I’ve been listening to this playlist of mine too! It’s perfect for those fall drives, and it has all my favorite artists and then some on there, from Mumford and Sons to Andrew Belle to Lord Huron.
that 2020 feeling
This is a playlist of mine that I’ve continuously added to throughout the year. Every time I fall in love with a song and can’t stop replaying it, I add it to this playlist. This playlist has over 40 songs on it! Although 2020 has really sucked this year, there has been some good music in it at least.
Songs on Repeat
“GO FAST BABY” – Raissa
I found this song kinda strangely. I was just watching some YouTube videos, and a little snippet of this song came on as an add. I ended up searching it and playing it all the way through, and it’s definitely a song that has been on repeat this last week.
“you!” – LANY
When this song came out as a single a month ago or so, I really liked it! It’s what made me want to check out more of LANY’s stuff and ultimately download their new album to listen to on Spotify.
“Clean” – The Japanese House
This song is like 5 years old, yet I just discovered it and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head these last couple of weeks. Not a day goes by where I don’t play it, I’m obsessed! The Japanese House is from the same record label as The 1975 I found out, which perfectly explains why I’ve been enjoying this band so much recently.
“Moment” – Dagny
A song from the second part of Dagny’s album Strangers/Lovers, this is by far one of my favorites!
“Intro/Set3” – The 1975
As interesting as the title is of this song, it’s amazing. It’s one of those songs that goes by way too fast. It’s been a great song to drive to at night.
And that finally concludes all the music I’ve been playing in the last few weeks. I’m still in one of those moods to discover even more new music, and all of these have not disappointed so far. I hope you check out these bands and their songs, they really are amazing! Thanks for stopping by on this lengthy music post, I hope everyone has a great Monday and a great rest of the week!
