WILT #2:

Hey :).
So at the moment one of my favourite artists is Alex Winston, her song 'Choice Notes' was on the TK Maxx advert last year and because I work at TK Maxx I got listening to her music :)
I like all of her songs especially 'Velvet Elvis' and 'Medicine', I have to admit that 'Choice Notes' is my least favourite but that's more due to the fact that I've listened to it waaaay too many times at work but I still can't help but keep it on my iPod because I relate it to loads of good times that I had over summer :).
I definitely recommend her music to anyone who hasn't listened to her music before and I'd say her sound is quite pop but really unique at the same so it's really difficult to describe I've put a clip of Velvet Elvis in this post for you to just have a listen :).

I've also just found a band called 'The Knocks', I don't think they're going to become my favourite any time soon but I do quite like the sound of their music. The music they make with the male singer doing the most quite remind me of Calvin Harris but with a bit of an Indie Pop sound (especially their song called 'The Feeling') :) - one of their songs is called 'Magic' and I've heard it before but I cannot for the life of me think where I've heard it so much.
Definitely a good sound and for me they remind me a lot of summer!

Listen and enjoy!

WILT (what I'm listening to) #1:

So, my best friend just recommended I listen to 'Imagine Dragons' and when I searched for them on Spotify I was disappointed to see there were only 2 songs there and neither of them were what he recommended (never mind I will not give up on them - they're now on my list of things to search on youtube!) but while I was there I couldn't help but look at a few of the 'related artists' to get an idea of what to expect from them.
On my explorations I fell upon The Answering Machine and I have to say I am in love.

If you like indie pop music you're in for a treat.
I'd say they've got a similar sound to bands like little comets and two door cinema club in the fact that they've got quite an upbeat sound but not too in-your-face happiness so I could easily listen to their music whatever mood I'm in. :)
So far my favourite songs  are 'Obviously Cold' and 'My Little Navy'.
I quite liked 'Its Over! Its Over! Its Over' but every time the singer says 'Oh' I can't help but feel the urge to say 'Whats Occurrin'' - this is hardly criticism of their sound but more a problem with my love of Gavin and Stacey.

Search them and Enjoy!
