James Bay | Styled By Lauren

Its that time of the month again to have a little look into what I have been listening to over the sunny month of April. It’s been a bit of mad mix this month with a couple of throwbacks, a new album discovery and some new upbeat tunes that I cannot help but raise my hands to. The month has been mainly dominated by the wonderfully talented James Bay and this album Chaos and the Calm which is pretty darn fantastic. My faves include Craving, Move Together and Need the Sun to Break, all pretty calming soft tunes that make me want a good guitar lesson or two! A bit of a throwback came from Avril Lavigne, yep I know. I used to listen to Avril back in the day and there is no denying I will always have a space for some of her songs. To round up, there is quite a sad but beautiful one from Labrinth, ‘that’ Sia song, a catchy new one from Meghan Trainor and last but not least that killer remixed version of Omi’s Cheerleader, now that is seriously good stuff!

What have you been listening to this month?

Having a lot of time off recently for Christmas has made me spend a large part of my time listening to music. With the Christmas music far, far away, this month I’ve been listening to some old favourites and some newbies in the music scene. I have been loving ‘Something I need’ by the X Factor winner Ben Haenow who did a superb cover of the One Republic hit. I also discovered the talented gem that is James Bay who actually performed at the Burberry S/S 2015 show, Burberry always show some amazing artists and I can see James being an artist to watch out for in 2015. I also rediscovered the 1975 with their album being played on repeat the whole month. I also can’t forget to mention Uptown Funk, what a tune!
