What I'm listening to

Some pretty amazing new music has come out recently so here's a little of what I've been listening to. It's a pretty eclectic bunch so hopefully there a little something for everyone.

Will Heard ft Cara Delevingne - 'Sonnentanz' (Sun Don't Shine) Acoustic

The original of this song is one of those dance/pop songs that are all of the rage at the moment but this acoustic version is much better; it features supermodel Cara Delevigne who has a surprisingly good voice.

Brett Eldredge - Don't Ya

Okay so I know that country music fans are few and far between in New Zealand BUT this song is super catchy and fun and I would consider it more country/pop than anything. If you're a fan of Hunter Hayes or my girl Taylor Swift then just try it, you might be pleasantly surprised. 

Katy Perry - Roar

I'm not a huge Katy Perry  fan but this song has been on repeat every since is came out. I know that pretty soon I will get sick of it and never want to hear it again but until then expect to see me dancing to it in car at traffic lights. 

The 1975 - Chocolate

I only heard this song last night but I must have listened to it about 20 times since then. Such a great song. Defiantly getting their album. 

Jay Z ft Justin Timberlake - Holy Grail

It's Jay Z and Justin Timberlake. Do I really need to say more? 

Justin Handsomelake

Swoon! Justin Timberlake is back! He never really went too far away just kind of hopped into terrible movies for a couple of years, but now JT has returned to us with a new album and it's a hell of a lot better than his movies.

The 20/20 Experience  is the new album. If you have heard the 2 singles 'Suit and Tie' and 'Mirrors' then you will have a pretty good idea of what this album is about. It's very much a Justin Timberlake record, and some consider it a little bit too similar to his previous album Futuresex/Lovesounds but I wont condemn it for that because I really liked that album. My only criticism is that the lyrics are quite generic party/'I like to watch girls dance' lyrics but I think most JT fans buy his music expecting that and wont be disappointed. As if one album wasn't exciting enough last month JT announced that the 'second half' of The 20/20 experience will be tentatively released in September!

If you only listen to a few songs off of 20/20 make sure you check out Mirrors (which is easily the best song on the album), That Girl and Let the Groove Get In.

All in all I think this new album is on par with Futuresex/Lovesounds and a hell of a lot better than 2002's Justified so give it a listen and maybe have a bit of a dance to it in your living room like I do.
