What I'm Listening To | January

Each month I'll share five songs I'm loving at the moment and hopefully you'll find a song or two (or all of them!) to love as well.

***
2018 is off to amazing start with music! At least for me. In the last four weeks, I've found so new many songs to love that I'm sharing 8 songs today instead of my usual 5.

Just for Us - Francis and the Lights | I'm really digging their 80s pop-synth sound and the lead singer's Phil Collins-like voice.

I Only Lie When I Love You - Royal Blood | This is exactly the kind of music I miss hearing.

I Can't Quit - The Vaccines | Last month I mentioned the lack of songs by actual bands and it's like someone heard my prayers. Another goodie!

Feel the Love Go - Franz Ferdinand | This song gives me "Take Me Out" feels, which is probably why I like it so much.

Hurt Somebody - Noah Kahan, Julia Michaels | Ever since "Issues" came out, I feel like I've been seeing Julia Michael's name a lot. But seriously every song she's released, either on her own or as a collaboration, has been SO catchy.

B.O.M.O. - Tatiana Manaois | I am all about this line in the song, "Yeah, I know I could do much better on my own." Luckily the lyric gets repeated a lot and you bet I sing along every time (at least when I'm alone!).

Alaska - Maggie Rogers | A friend sent me this song last week and already, it's my most played song of the month. It's almost ridiculous how often I've listened to it. (There's a cool backstory behind it and it includes Pharrell.)

Vincent - James Blake | I'm a sucker for songs with just piano and vocals. This song is both haunting and soothing and much to my surprise, also a cover. It's originally by Don McLean (best known for "American Pie"). This is such a beautiful rendition.
