Kodaline | Styled By Lauren

Another month, another music playlist. This month’s playlist was pretty much dominated by two albums from McBusted and Kodaline. I’m going to see McBusted live next month for the second time *excited dance* and I only got round to listening to their album this month and I love it! The album is very heavily Busted style so if you were a Busted fan you’ll like this! Being a huge Kodaline fan I was super ecstatic for their new album Coming up for Air and I’ve been listening to this non-stop throughout the month. I was a huge fan of their first album In a Perfect World which is one of my favourite albums ever so I had high expectations for the new album. So far so good, I am really loving Honest and The One but I don’t think this album will ever live up to their first one as it has quite a different sound nevertheless I still think its great! There is also a catchy number from Maroon 5 in there, the video for that one is great too!

What have you been listening to this month?

One of my favorite albums at the moment is In a Perfect World, the debut album by Irish folk-rock band Kodaline. I find it difficult to find an album were I like every song on it and this album does quite that, while I have my favorites every song is worth listening to and I won’t be pressing skip at any time. The album overall is quite folk/indie style and most songs are quite peaceful and relaxing so I wouldn’t recommend it for a party playlist but its very handy while cooking or just relaxing as it has that perfect calming mood. There is 11 songs on the album or if you buy through itunes there are 15 songs. Every song is worth a listen however I would recommend a few: first track One Day which is quite a slow and peaceful track, High Hopes which again is a slow number and also a bit of a tear-jerker, Its not all glum though more upbeat tracks like Love Like This and Way Back When which I love and are full of positive and happy vibes. You also may have heard All I want which featured in the soundtrack and movie The Fault in Our Stars. Also check out their cover of Latch by Disclosure which is just fantastic and beautiful. If you are a fan of Coldplay or Mumford and sons you may quite like these guys.
