It's been a few weeks since New Year passed
and school has definitely not given me a break at all.
After the holidays, I was thrown into trying to finish up my graded assignments
and trying to pass my exams.
Finally, yesterday, I finished my last paper!! (though regretfully..because I couldn't finish it)
Had a good rest last night and soon I would be busy again.
However until then I wish to rest and sleep also to start clearing my room as Chinese new year is coming :D
So, apart from writing how hectic my life is, I decided to update on the music I have been listening to!
New Heights
I actually stumbled upon this band when I was watching someone's video and I felt that this one song the person used was really good and now...I'm hooked on them. A soft-rock/Pop sound and feel to them, this song totally got me hooked with its soft rhythm and gentle lyrics. The lead singer has a great voice too. If you like groups like Boyce Avenue, then this band is a that you should try listening to because, they do covers as well!
Songs I would recommend: Gonna love you / Closer
Connor Cruise
Funnily enough, I stumbled upon this song when I watching a fashion variety show. (Yes I have no fashion sense but I do watch the shows. I think I have recommanded it a few posts back.) My most faverite song from him is 'Closer to Heaven' feat. Masson Musso (former frontman of Metro station). I feel that the song is uplifting and definitely it makes a good BGM if you want to make a crazy girls-night-out video. Also, I like the beat of the song and how at its peak it just makes you want to jump.
#Funfact: I read in an article that Connor Cruise is tom cruise & Nicole Kidman's son!! Interesting fact there for you guys!
Songs I would recommend: Closer to heaven
[Champagne]
Not sure if I have ever recommended this band here on this blog, but I will still recommend anyways because they need that recognition. If you like J-rock then this is the group for you. However honestly speaking, I wont call them rock..maybe indie..but I'm not sure how to categorize them because they really changed the way they play their song in their latest single/album 'Oblivion'. Their songs are always feel with that intriguing sound and for their latest single 'Run away', there is more of a 'rock' feel and I really enjoy. That mixture of the synthesized piano and guitar shredding with that drum beat that makes the whole song just perfect and fresh. The lyrics is also just nice especially on nights when you really just want to leave everything behind.
'Stepping out to the world where all the lights are gone, I cant sleep, I can't sleep/ When all the bustle's gone and all the grouch is done, I will run away, run away'
I find their new song soothing and it is one of the most replayed songs in my list.
Songs I recommend: Run Away / Waitress, Waitress/Kick Spin
An Honest Mistake
I came upon this group when I was browsing through some local bands. However 'An honest mistake' is not a local band but is from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am honestly in awe on how much I didnt see how there are so many good music around me, both locally and in the neighboring countries. [Maybe one day I shall do a post about it] Anyways, this band is pop-punk band and whats interesting is that they have a member that plays the violin in it! (yes like yellowcard!!) Fronted by a male lead backed with a female lead, they have somewhat a paramore meets good charlotte feel ( Yes I tried my best to click them together...please do not bash me on how I described their music). Also, they wrote how A skylit drive is one of their influence!! Overall, I'm looking forward to hearing more songs from this band
Songs I recommend: Let's battle it out with Vesuvius the great/If I told you this was real would you believe me/Giddy up horsie! The chase ain't waiting for you
Alright!! I hope you guys would check out the groups/songs I recommended today!!
If you feel that there is a band I should check out do write at the comments!!
Have an awesome week ahead!
Cheers!!
