Musical Songs You Should Listen To

Hello and welcome to another blogpost. Today I am sharing with you six songs from musicals that I am obsessed with. These songs can be from film or tv adaptations but they have all derived from musical theatre (disclaimer : I shall not be including previous "Song Of The Week"'s meaning that "Step One" from "Kinky Boots" and "Take Me Or Leave Me" from "Rent" shall not be included). I shall also try and include performances of each song as I write about it in order to make the post more 'immersive'. I hope you enjoy!

Listen from Dreamgirls
We are kicking off today's post with what is potentially one of my favourite songs of all time and (as you know) my favourite Beyonce song. Whether it is from the movie or the several theatre versions, anytime I have heard "Listen" live it has just amazed me with its desirable vocals and catchy lyrics. Fairly recently, I saw "Dreamgirls" in the West End and Amber Riley (commonly known as Mercedes from Glee) was utterly incredible and her voice is one of a kind. Anyways, please listen to this track as I just cannot get enough of it!

Revolting Children from Matilda
This next song is probably the newest on this post but that certainly does not mean it is the worst! The song is easily the catchiest on this blogpost as whenever I listen, the song gets stuck in my head for days! Back in July in my school show, this song was involved in it and you could tell it was easily the cast's favourite song to perform. The song is fun, light-hearted and just what you need in a song really. I really hope to see "Matilda The Musical" in the future as I bet it would be amazing; I would suggest you really try and do the same.

Run And Tell That from Hairspray
After "Dreamgirls", "Hairspray" is probably one of my favourite musicals as it covers such controversial topics and makes them seem like they're not a big deal. In particular, "Run And Tell That" is a great song (especially the film version) as the vocals are truly unbelievable, especially for me as a soul singer. If you somehow have never seen "Hairspray" before, you are seriously missing out as the show is so touching and fun throughout. I cannot wait for it to be my school's show next year as I know for sure that everyone will love it.

You'll See from Rent
"Rent" is an absolute musical classic and it has spawned tons of remakes of it's songs. One song that I think is severely underrated from the musical and hasn't been recreated a lot is "You'll See". If you ask me, the song features some great male vocals and I feel like it is constantly overshadowed by songs like "Seasons Of Love". If you ever watch "Rent" in the future (which you should do by the way because its amazing), please really appreciate this song as it is great and extremely unique in my opinion.

Love You I Do from Dreamgirls
Just like "You'll See" in "Rent", "Love You I Do" is so amazing but is constantly overshadowed by songs like "Listen" and "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" but I personally believe that, after "Listen", it is the best "Dreamgirls" song. In particular, I can't get enough of Jennifer Hudson's version from the film as it is so catchy and upbeat and her voice just suits it perfectly (To be honest, what song does Jennifer Hudson's voice not suit?)! Yet again, if you have never seen "Dreamgirls" before, first of all, I would seriously judge you and second of all, I would seriously recommend it as you really need to watch it!

You Can't Win from The Wiz
Last but not least we have a song that I have not been able to get enough of this year since I discovered it. "The Wiz Live" (not "The Wiz" movie which is pretty terrible to be honest) is now one of my favourite musical movies as every song is incredible and it features some great people : Elijah Kelley, Uzo Aduba, Amber Riley and Ne-Yo to name a few. In particular, "You Can't Win" is an unbelievable song that showcases some great vocals and lyrics. I would certainly say you should watch "The Wiz Live" online; I wish I could've seen the show to capture a glimpse of how good it would've been.

Song Of The Week :
This week's "Song Of The Week" is once again by Sam Smith, he is unstoppable at the moment! This week's song is "Baby, You Make Me Crazy" and the song is so fun, upbeat and happy, making a change compared to Sam Smith's usual material. In particular, I love the chorus' falsetto vocals as they are so desirable to any male vocalist. If you have any spare time upon your hands, this is a song that you really need to listen to!

Whilst on the topic of Sam Smith, next week I shall be reviewing his phenomenal new album "The Thrill Of It All" so I hope you are all as excited as I am for it.

Artist Showcase : Tokio Myers

Hello and welcome to another blogpost. Today I shall be uploading another "Artist Showcase" and today it's on an artist I love. He was last week's "Song Of The Week" and I still cannot get enough of him; his name is Tokio Myers and he is incredible!


Torville Jones, better known by his stage name Tokio Myers is a pianist and music producer born in London. He recently won Britain's Got Talent with his unique act, combining amazing piano-playing with pop hits, producing the masterpieces all by himself. In the past he has supported illustrious artists such as Kanye West and Amy Winehouse but now he is starting to shine through on his own, hinting at future collaborations with the likes of Ed Sheeran and Kendrick Lamar.

What made my first fall in love with the musician was his first audition on Britain's Got Talent. He stepped on the stage looking like a some kind of rapper from the streets and then he stepped up to the piano and I was suddenly amazed. The track, which has been released as his first single, is a performance of Debussy's "Clair De Lune" which fuses into Ed Sheeran's "Bloodstream", causing the audience (including myself) to go crazy over it! This performance, although it may not feature any emotional lyrics, is so captivating that I almost found myself in tears when first seeing it. You must check out this performance below...



Another performance of his that I found flabbergasting was his final performance which gave him the Britain's Got Talent crown. In this performance he fused Hans Zimmer's "Interstellar" theme soundtrack together with Rag'n'Bone Man's "Human" and the outcome was phenomenal. Like I said before, this performance earned him the votes to win the show and not only earn £250,000 but a recording contract as well. This piece is to incredible to describe!


Although Tokyo Myers may already be immensely popular to those who watched Britain's Got Talent, his appeal to those who haven't watched the show is very limited so I would thoroughly recommend you check him out and listen to his debut album "Our Generation" when it gets released in the next few weeks. Join me in supporting this amazing artist as I know you will not regret it!

Song Of The Week :
This week's "Song Of The Week" is one that has already been reviewed on this blog before, "Daddy Issues" by Demi Lovato. Since my album review two weeks ago I have been listening to this track non-stop and I cannot get enough of it. I especially love her vocals in the track when they are accompanied by that infectious beat in the hook in the song. I really think you should listen to this song.

I hope you enjoyed today's post. Next week I shall be uploading a post on my time at the Radio 1 Teen Awards so I hope you are all excited.

Lorde's Melodrama World Tour ~ 30/9/17

Hello and welcome to another blogpost. Today I am sharing with you guys a review of my time at Lorde's "Melodrama" world tour. The Brighton Centre may have not allowed me to use my camera but that did not matter in the slightest as the concert was possibly the best I have ever been to at the venue.

So back on the 30th September, I arrived in the (very cold and windy) queue at around quarter-to six and unlike my previous Sarah Close gig, the queue was massive but thankfully I wasn't too far back. After more than an hour of waiting it was finally time to enter the venue which I was so grateful for as I was freezing at the time. I have been to the Brighton Centre several times now so I knew what to expect but I pushed my way near to the front of the standing and I could not be more excited!

Before Lorde, there was Khalid who I was a massive fan of already, something that is very rare with support acts. He sang the majority of his debut album and it's safe to say he was phenomenal! He had his own innovative set and he commanded the stage immensely well; I fell in love with him so much more after the gig. When Khalid was on, the stage was full of these pillars of light which changed colour and I can tell you now that they were so aesthetically pleasing to everyone in the crowd.

As he sang the majority of his "American Teen" album, Khalid sang some great songs that certainly had me singing and dancing along. In particular, I loved "Young, Dumb & Broke" which may be pretty mainstream but I think it is my favourite track of his; at the end of the day, it's the only track of his to feature as my "Song Of The Week". I also wanted to mention "8TEEN" as it was incredible and it got me dancing along to it, making me add it to my playlist post-concert.


About half-an-hour after Khalid's set ended, it was time for the main event, Lorde! She was unbelievably good! She sang so many songs that everyone loved and knew and she got every single person in the arena on their feet. What amazed me the most about this concert was this unique and energetic persona that Lorde brought to the stage as I have never seen anything like it before. The changing backdrop was incredible and her voice is so raw and special, making it feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Even though there were so many great performances to chose from, the best performance of Lorde's had to be "Green Light" as you could tell that absolutely everyone (Lorde, her band, the audience, even the security) was sharing this unique moment and loving and cherishing it. In addition to this, her vocals were amazing in the song and there was confetti in the air, showering down on me and the rest of the audience. It is a moment in my life that I will certainly never forget!


Overall, the gig left me speechless and I can honestly say that it is 'up there' with some of the best concerts I have ever been to; it definitely was the best one I have ever been to in the Brighton Centre. I was honestly not expecting it to be nearly as good as it was so I would really recommend you see Lorde (or Khalid) whenever you possibly can as it is a show you will not forget!

Song Of The Week :
This week's "Song Of The Week" is a little different to any other song featured here because it doesn't have any lyrics. The song is "Bloodstream" by Tokio Myers who I am a massive fan of after seeing him triumph on "Britain's Got Talent". Tokio is so unique as an artist as he mashes up old classical pieces with modern day hits, this time mashing up Debussy's "Clair De Lune" and Ed Sheeran's "Bloodstream" in a way that is so perfect. I cannot wait for his debut album to be released later this year.

Whilst we are talking about Tokio Myers, next week's post will be a long-awaited "Artist Showcase" on him so I hoped you enjoyed this week's post and are excited for next week's!

Album Review : Tell Me You Love Me by Demi Lovato

Hello and welcome to another blogpost. Today we have another "Album Review", this time reviewing Demi Lovato's latest release "Tell Me You Love Me". If you read my blog a lot, you should know that I am a big Demi Lovato fan and have been for years now so I'm excited to get into today's post!


Track 1 = Sorry Not Sorry
We kickstart today's review with a song that you all know I love; "Sorry Not Sorry". The song is so upbeat and fun and if you ask me, its the perfect introduction to this album of honesty and truth. The song is so catchy and ever since it was my "Song Of The Week" back in July, I have not been able to stop singing it. In addition to this, the music video is one of my favourites so I would certainly recommend the watch; you cant really get a better start to an album!

Track 2 = Tell Me You Love Me
Secondly we have the title track and another track I have been loving since the album was put up for preorder about two months ago, its actually really unlucky that it hasn't been my song of the week as I have not been able to stop singing it. The song shows some brilliant vocals and the empowering chorus shows that Demi is gonna stand up for what she believes in, no matter the consequence, once again proving that this album has such a great story behind it.

Track 3 = Sexy Dirty Love
This next track is very different to the rest of the record but yet again very good. "Sexy Dirty Love" is disco-inspired and just makes you want to dance throughout the entire track. The vocals are also extraordinary making it a great song overall. This catchy dance track is one that I would recommend at a party as it will certainly get people dancing and singing, even if they haven't heard it before.

Track 4 = You Don't Do It For Me Anymore
"You Don't Do It For Me Anymore" is definitely the best song on the album vocally as Demi conveys such soul and passion throughout. In addition to this, the song is a touchy subject as Demi is saying she is 'better than someone else' but it she controls it so well. This is a breakup anthem to listen to whether you are single or not!

Track 5 = Daddy Issues
The fifth track on this album takes more of an EDM route but it also fits into the album perfectly somehow. Even though it may be more EDM-based, it does not mean the vocals are any worse though as in the chorus Demi manages to hit some ridiculously high notes that everyone must envy and when this is accompanied by an infectious beat to dance to, you can't really complain.

Track 6 = Ruin the Friendship
"Ruin The Friendship" shows of the husky part of Demi Lovato's voice which I love and have never really heard before. Also, the song is rumoured to be about Demi's long-time friend and fellow celebrity Nick Jonas and it shows just how honest she is being as confessing to everyone that you want to have feelings for someone who everyone knows is your friend must be hard. It has certainly received some public attention and for that I applaud Demi, this song is top notch!

Track 7 = Only Forever
Track seven on the album takes more of a slower approach in comparison to the other tracks but what I like about the track is how it shows such a sense of calmness and tranquility. In addition, just like the rest of the songs on this album, her vocals are flawless and you can tell she put so much heart and passion into this song. I am once again a massive fan of this song.

Track 8 = Lonely (Feat. Lil Wayne)
Next up we have "Lonely" which I must say is one of my favourite songs on the album as it is so laid-back but you can certainly listen to it. The track is so truthful and Lil Wayne (who I am not usually a big fan of due to the amount of autotune he uses) works perfectly with this song. I bet you that if you listen, you will not be able to stop singing this catchy tune as I have not been able to stop!

Track 9 = Cry Baby
Next is last week's "Song Of The Week" which I have not been able to get enough of! "Cry Baby" is easily my favourite on the album as not only is it catchy and soulful, it features so many vocal techniques and key changes that anyone would want to accomplish. The track is so empowering and it leaves the chorus stuck in your head for days. Demi Lovato shows just how much of a warrior she is in this incredible track; if you haven't listened to it yet, you honestly need to do so as soon as possible!

Track 10 = Games
If you ask me, "Games" sounds very Kehlani-esque which obviously means that I am a big fan of it. The beat is so infectious that I just want to dance along whenever I listen and the vocals in both the verse and chorus are so desirable. I cant help but sing along to this tune so I thoroughly recommend you listen as this track is literally amazing and one that you will not want to miss out on!

Track 11 = Concentrate
Penultimately, "Concentrate" takes a more acoustic route which I feel really shows this album's versatility. This is also another track where Demi is being so honest as well, stating how she just wants to be with this person as she can't concentrate on anyone else; when this has unbelievable vocals on top of it, you cannot really request much more in a song.

Track 12 = Hitchhiker
Last but not least is "Hitchhiker" which may have a bizarre title but the song is not the same. If I could describe this song in three words it would be: chilled, amazing and phenomenal. The song finishes off the album so well as show some lovely high-pitched vocals from Demi which are unlike any other vocals on the album. Some of the ad-libs in this song are some of Demi's best and I could say the same about her falsetto so please make sure you give it a listen.

Overal, "Tell Me You Love Me" is too good for words and I seriously think it could be career-defining for Demi Lovato. The whole album tells such a great story about being honest, and leaving the bad things in your life behind. The vocals throughout are brilliant as well so with this in mind, let's look at our rankings (which have been whittled down to a top ten)...

1. Demi Lovato - Tell Me You Love Me
2. Calvin Harris - Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1
3. Kehlani - SweetSexySavage
4. Bruno Mars - 24k Magic
5. Sonny - Hopeless Romance EP
6. Sarah Close - Caught Up EP
7. Harry Styles - Harry Styles
8. John Legend - Love & Darkness
9. Childish Gambino - Awaken My Love
10. Ed Sheeran - Divide


Song Of the Week :
This week my "Song Of The Week" is one that I have not been able to get out of my head since it was released. The song is "Pray" by Sam Smith who is easily one of my favourite artists at the moment and the song is so catchy and has insane vocals. I honestly cannot wait for Sam's second album "The Thrill Of It All" to be released next month and don't worry, a review will be coming shortly afterwards. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed today's blogpost. Next week I shall be reviewing my time at Lorde's "Melodrama" World Tour which I am so excited for as it was one of the best concerts I have been to in a long time so get excited with me!

Sarah Close's Debut Tour ~ 27/9/17

Hello and welcome to another blogpost. Today we have a very exciting post where I review my time at Sarah Close's very first tour at it's stop in Brighton. I may have not had my camera but that really did not matter (as you'll find out later on) so let's get on with it...

So after a long day at school, I got to The Haunt (the venue which Sarah was playing at) at around 5pm and I was amazed to find that I was the third person in the queue, meaning I could literally get as close as I could to one of my favourite artists. I made some friends in the queue and we even played Uno in order to waste the two hour waiting time. Eventually, we made it in and the venue was so intimate that I could tell this was going to be a special concert; it certainly was a special concert!

Before Sarah Close came one, we had the support act who was actually pretty good. His name was Callum Stewart and his voice was very soulful, a feature which followers of this blog will all know I love. For the entirety of his set he sang a variety of original songs and covers including "Tennessee Whiskey" by Chris Stapleton, a song that I have been loving recently. Overall, his set was great and a great warmup for Sarah Close, I even managed to get a great photo of him during his set.

After hours of waiting, it was finally time for Sarah Close and I can tell you now that she did not disappoint. Sarah sang a variety of originals as well as a few of her beloved covers, making a great show. Personally, I think the bit that was incredible to me was how close I was to her as I could physically not get any closer (as you can probably see by the photo to your right). In a addition to this, I must mention her mashup of covers as it was truly amazing. She mashed up Charlie Puth's "We Don't Talk Anymore", Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)" and Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream", three completely different songs but of course Sarah made it into some kind of masterpiece!

In terms of my favourite song from the show, it has to be between two. We have "Caught Up" which you all know I love as it was voted "My Favourite Song Of The Week", it was also the first song she performed, making that sudden impact on stage. The other song that was incredible live was "Call Me Out" (Sarah's very first single) as it was Sarah's last song and absolutely everyone knew the words and were singing and dancing along. I must also mention an unreleased song called "Do You Believe" as it was phenomenal and I really hope to hear it again!

After the show finished, one of the most surreal moments in my entire life happened as it was revealed that I could meet Sarah. This was such a big deal for me as I have been watching her for so many years now. About 20 minutes after her set finished, Sarah came into the venue and I met her! She was so lovely and we talked about how long I have been watching her, how her tour is going and how amazing her concert was before grabbing a picture (to your right). It is a moment that I shall never forget!

Overall, the event was incredible and easily the best I've been to in a long time (excluding Frank Ocean of course)! Sarah is one of the nicest people I have ever met and her music is unbelievable. She has such a stage presence and I really hope she has plenty of tours to come. If you have never seen her before, please either listen to her music online or go and watch her youtube channel as I can promise you that you will not regret it in any way, shape or form!

Song Of The Week :
This week's "Song Of The Week" is from Demi Lovato's brand new release "Tell Me You Love Me" and I cannot get enough of it! The song is titled "Cry Baby" and it is so soulful with some truly phenomenal vocals that I think any singer would want. I would honestly and thoroughly recommend you give this song a listen as I bet you won't get enough, just like me!

Whilst we're on the topic of Demi Lovato, next week I shall be doing an album review of "Tell Me You Love Me" which I can tell you now is amazing. So I hoped you enjoyed this week's post and are excited for next week as I certainly am!

Artists I Have Been Loving This Year

Hello and welcome to yet another blogpost. Today I thought I would share with you some artists that I have been loving this year in some sort of massive "Artist Showcase" post to make up for the lack of them recently. This post includes well-known artists as well as some you may not have heard of before so with ought further ado, let's get into the post!

Sam Smith
We start off today's post with music's latest 'comeback kid'! If you have read my blog for a while you will know that I am a big Sam Smith fan so I was overjoyed when he made his comeback to music at the beginning of this month. "Too Good At Goodbyes" is a literal masterpiece and I cannot stop singing along to it; I cannot wait for his next album which shall hopefully be released by the end of this year. If you have never heard Sam Smith before, you seriously need to get checked out as I think it is impossible to not fall in love with him!

Sampha
Next we have an artist that I really haven't mentioned enough but I cannot get enough of him. Sampha is such a unique and incredible artist that is truly underrated! I saw him at Lovebox earlier this year and every track was just touching and electric, especially "(No One Knows Me) Like The Piano" which I think is one of my favourite songs of this year. Luckily, people are finally starting to realise Sampha's talent as he recently won the "Mercury Prize" award for his album "Process" over artists including Ed Sheeran & Stormzy. You need to check him out!

Lorde
Lorde finally returned to the music scene this year with "Melodrama" and I can tell you now she did not disappoint as in my opinion, this album is even better! Lorde is one of the most unique artists in the industry and she really kept to her roots with her second release, releasing some tunes like "Homemade Dynamite" and "Perfect Places". I can tell you now that I cannot wait to see her live on Saturday (there will be a review coming in a few weeks) alongside Khalid, who I sadly couldn't mention in this post, as I know they will both be incredible so if you have never listened to Lorde before, I'd recommend you do so.

Demi Lovato
This next artist is one that I have adored for many years now and my love for her still continues to grow! Demi Lovato, whether its her acting or her singing, is a genius and her voice easily one of the best in today's modern music industry; I don't think I have ever seen the ex-Disney star perform a song badly as she always belts them out to the best of her ability. Demi's sixth album "Tell Me You Love Me" comes out today and I have already fallen in love with it and it's incredible tracklist dressing personal but relatable issues. If you have never listened to Demi Lovato before, you're certainly missing out!

Sonny
The next person on this list is probably the most unknown out of everyone here but if you have read my blog over this past year, you're probably sick of me mentioning him and how brilliant he is! Sonny is a 19 year old from Newcastle who released his debut EP in May this year; I can tell you now, every track is unbelievable (especially "Princess" which is definitely one of my favourite songs of 2017). I can actually not praise this guy enough so can you please support him by listening to his music and following his social media, he is so worth it!

Sarah Close
Last but not least we have someone who has been dominating my blog since it began, Sarah Close! I have been following Sarah's YouTube channel since she has had about 3000 subscribers and I am so happy that she is finally starting to get a taste of success, releasing music and going on tour (which I am so incredibly excited for). Not only her covers but her originals are one-of-a-kind and truly underrated so I hope you all get behind her as she is possibly my favourite artist at the moment and throughout this year I have not stopped listening to her!

Song Of The Week :
About two weeks ago, Sarah Close released another single and it was amazing (of course); the song is called "Only You" and its obviously our "Song Of The Week". The song may be a little different for Sarah as it has features of EDM in it but she makes it work as her voice suits it perfectly. IF it can turn me, someone who is not an EDM lover, into someone that can't stop listening to it, its worth a listen!

So I hoped you enjoyed this post letting you in on some of my favourite artists at the moment. Next week I shall be uploading a review of my time at Sarah Close's debut tour which I am so bloody excited for so get excited with me!

My Vinyl Collection Pt.2

Hello and welcome to yet another blogpost. Way back in January I uploaded a post dedicated to some of my favourite vinyls and it received great responses; my vinyl collection has accumulated massively since then so I thought why not bring it back! Today I shall be sharing with you five of my favourite vinyls (new and old) so I hope you enjoy!

Moana : The Songs
If you have been reading my blog for a while you'll know that I am a massive fan of the film "Moana" (in fact, it's probably one of my favourite Disney films) so you could probably understand my excitement when I found out they were releasing a vinyl of the movie's soundtrack. The whole record is incredible and not only features songs within the movie but covers of the tracks including Alessia Cara's "How Far I'll Go" which I absolutely love. This is a vinyl I would definitely recommend and here's a taster of "Moana" down below; I hope you like it as much as I do!

Michael Jackson - Thriller
One vinyl that narrowly missed being featured in my last post was Michael Jackson's "Thriller" so I thought I had to mention it today! Not only is this album the greatest-selling album of all time, every song is a masterpiece. I think I have to say that Michael Jackson is one of my favourite artists and this album is really some of his finest work. In GCSE Art at the moment, my chosen theme is "The Like Of Michael Jackson", showing just how much I love the late king of pop. Anyways, I'd probably have to say that "Billie Jean" is my favourite track (although "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" does come close) so here it is below... 

Little Mix - Glory Days
I think it's pretty clear that I'm a Little Mix fan by how much I talk about them on this blog so I was ecstatic when I found out the girls were releasing "Glory Days" on vinyl in honour of "World record Store Day" earlier this year. Obviously I brought it and it is so lovely to finally be able to hear Little Mix on a vinyl as I have honestly waited so long for it. The album is incredible (it was ranked third-best last year on this blog, behind only Frank Ocean and Beyonce) and every song is one that I can either sing or dance a long to. I am seeing the girls live in November and I'm honestly so excited to finally hear this album live, please listen to part of it down below.

Rag'N'Bone Man - Human
One artist that I am a big fan of but have never mentioned on this blog before is Rag'N'Bone Man. His soulful voice is incredible and I am so happy that he has brought Soul music into the mainstream industry. This album, from start to finish, is utterly beautiful and there are so many tracks that I have fallen in absolute love with. With this in mind, I'd have to say "Bitter End" is my favourite, although I also love "As You Are" and the classic "Human". In November, just after Little Mix, I am seeing him live in not only my hometown but his as well so I bet it'll be a memorable concert. Here is "Bitter End" down below, I hope you love it as much as I do!

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Last but certainly not least, we have Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" which is my absolute favourite album of all time. The album is so honest and covers so many personal problems that I think anyone can relate to; each song flows together so well! Alongside Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye is one of my favourite artists of all time and also like Michael Jackson, one of my GCSE Art final pieces was a 'pop art-inspired' acrylic painting of Gaye. This vinyl is the best you will ever listen to and if you have somehow never listened to this album before, what are you doing with yourself?! You must listen to the title track of this phenomenal album below...

Song Of The Week :
This week's "Song Of The Week" is my favourite in a long long time! The musical magician Sam Smith is back and his new track "Too Good At Goodbyes" is one of his best. The song has what, in my opinion, are the best vocals of this entire year and I cannot be happier that Sam Smith has stuck to his roots and not changed his style. If you somehow haven't, listen to this unbelievable song! (P.S. if you're wondering why I am only mentioning this song now, I write my blog posts in two weeks in advance so I am technically writing this as soon as I can!)                     So I hope you enjoyed this post showing you some more of my vinyls. Next week I shall be showing you a post full of artists that I have been loving this year, get excited!
