Tracks of the Weeks (Again)

So I've done it again, and I'm just going to blame it on the fact that my internet is fucking around and I got a new job.

Sorry,

I'll be better, probably.

Anyway, just be happy, 'cause two new tracks of the week.

Black Space (T. Swizzle cover) - Our Last Night



These guys are always on top form when it comes to their covers, so I suggest you check those out as well. 

King - Years & Years



I am not exaggerating when I say that these guys can do no wrong. Pretty much every song these guys have released have been on point. They are easily my favourites at the moment - but I will go into more detail about that in a post coming soon.  Also, the music video is SO phenomenal. 

Till next week. (Maybe) 

Love always,
Nicole.

Real

If, like me, you're a huge Skins fan (UK teen drama, not rolling paper) then you will have seen this face (Olly Alexander) in Series 7: Pure.



and when it comes to cute boys with curly hair, I will inevitably google you, discover that you are a lead singer of a band and listen to your music religiously. That my friends, is how I discovered Years and Years.

"I Wish I Knew" is the first track that I heard, and almost instantly fell in love with it. They have a certain atmosphere about them that is beyond unique. Olly's crooning mixed with the electro chaos as confetti falls is pretty much the greatest.


Years and Years - I Wish I Knew 
(Warning: this video is an explosion of awkward dancing, it's phenomenal)

The band try something different with the song "The Whale" from the soundtrack of The Dish and the Spoon (Olly was great in the movie, too!). This stripped down version of Years and Years allows for Olly's voice to come through a lot stronger and it's gorgeous. 

                                     

Years and Years - The Whale 

The London trio have just recently released a new single, "Real". With the EP of the same name coming out 17 February. "Real" is infectious, make sure to catch it.



Love Always,
Nicole
