Albums
Ellie Goulding - Halcyon Days
I've been a fan of Ellie's for a long time, in fact since 'Under the Sheets' was featured on BBC's Sound of 2010, and of course have had Halcyon in my collection since it was first released. However, since the success of Burn she has released an extended version of the album called Halcyon Days with eight extra tracks. These extra tracks are absolutely brilliant, Goodness Gracious is a great tune to have a little boogie to, while Hearts Without Chains and How Long Will I Love You are beautiful mellow songs if you're in the mood for something chilled and emotional.
London Grammar - If You Wait
I'd heard good things about London Grammar before I decided to buy their album; a lot of rave reviews from both critics and my friends and I wasn't disappointed. Hannah Reid's voice is one of those that you just never tire of listening to, and combined with the ethereal, melancholy accompaniment of her two bandmates creates an exceptionally chilled out yet powerful record. My favourite tracks have got to be Hey Now and Disclosure collaboration Help Me Lose My Mind.
Disclosure - Settle
Bit slow on the uptake here but upon realising I love seven out of 14 tracks on Settle I thought it was about time I buy the whole album. Brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence are a powerhouse likeable to Calvin Harris with their ability to produce track after track with infectious electronic hooks and catchy choruses. Aside from obvious chart hits like Latch, F For You and White Noise, yet to be released favourites include When a Fire Starts to Burn and Confess to Me featuring Jessie Ware.
And now a few singles...
