Summer Playlist

Hey there,  

                Now anyone who knows me will know there are only a few aspects of my life that are organised and they are my wardrobe, my makeup and my iTunes library, everything else  is pretty much up in the air at all times, like literally I'm a failure at life. 
But luckily enough we don't need to know about my shambles of a life and today I'm talking about my summer playlist. I literally make playlists for everything and I'm the go to person when any of my friends are having a party to sort of the Spotify selection for the night. I've been doing it for years and I've got the general ones you know like my 'I just want to lie in bed and cry' songs, my 'I'm practically Whitney Houston' shower songs, my 'I'm completely zen' bath playlist and all that. But I also make playlists for big events, like when I started my final year at school or when my best friend got her first car or my 18th birthday. You catch my drift. I like to do a mixture of old and new and you can guarantee Beyonce will appear on all my playlists at least once. 

Here's what's on my summer playlist for 2015

1. Feelin' Myself - Nicki Minaj Ft. Beyonce 
2. Prayer In C - Lily Wood and The Prick Ft Robin Schulz
3. Bitch Better Have My Money - Rihanna
4. Ship to Wreck - Florence + The Machine
5. The Wolf - Mumford & Sons
6. Don't You Find - Jamie T
7. Think Of You - MS MR
8. Bang That - Disclosure
9. Say Something - Karen Harding
10. Ring Off - Beyonce
11. Sugar - Maroon 5 
12. Get Busy - Sean Paul
13. The Blacker The Berry - Kendrick Lamar
14. Get Right - Jennifer Lopez
15. Hold My Hand - Jess Glynne
16. Habits (Stay High) - Tove Lo
17. Bills - Lunchmoney Lewis
18. All Cried Out - Blonde Ft. Alex Newell
19. Lonesome Street - Blur
20. Wish You Were Mine - Philip George 

It's a weird mix I know but I like a bit of everything and this has literally got something for all moods this summer.

Rocking On: My Winter Playlist

Hey kittens!

                     So for the last few weeks I've had the same playlist on a loop at all times and I'm absolutely loving it. I started getting into Spotify in the summer and ever since then I've developed a little ritual, in order to broaden my musical horizons. 

1. Find the song: Basically every time I hear any music that remotely interests my ears, I find it on Spotify, add to a playlist and give it a listen. 
2. Check out the artist: If I like the song, I look into more of the artists stuff, usually the top 5 songs on their Spotify page and add those to my playlist. 
3. Decide: If I'm still liking the artist, I'll download their music to my iTunes and add it to my favourite iTunes playlist
4. iPod: If it makes it to my iPod, it's a keeper

These few steps have helped me discover some truly wonderful artists, that I'm sure are going to keep me company over the next few months. A good playlist is essential at all times, but considering we spend so much time inside during the winter months, it's even more important to musically educate yourself whenever it's possible. 

Here's my top 15 picks: 

• No Room for Doubt - Lianne De Havas
• Piledriver Waltz - Arctic Monkeys
• Goodbye Kiss - Kasabian/ Lana Del Rey: Give both versions a listen, you wont be disappointed.
• Young Love - Mystery Jets Ft. Laura Marling
• Diamonds- Rihanna
• Someday - The Strokes
• If I Were a Boy/ You Oughta Know - Beyonce
• A Real Hero - College
• Pilot Jones - Frank Ocean
• Octopus - Bloc Party
• The Last Time - Taylor Swift Ft. Gary Lightbody
• Not Nineteen Forever - The Courteeners
• Feel To Follow - The Maccabees
• 99 Problems - Jay Z 
• Lonely Boy - The Black Keys

 So there's my top 15 songs off my winter playlist. It's a bit of a peculiar mixture I must say but there's pretty much a song for all moods on there. Some of it's from a good few years back but whatevs, I'm sticking with it. 

What song's are going to be getting you through winter? Do we share any musical loves? 

Thanks for reading lovelies! 

Stay Classy X
