THE SOUNDTRACK OF 2013


I think I rarely post about anything music related in the last half of a year because it's pretty hectic and when I'm stressed I plunged into the world of weird or old stuff like Pale's Too Much if it's sad or Maybe This Time from the musical Cabaret sang by Liza Minnelli if I felt like I need a pat in the back. Plus it's often that the music I most anticipated all released in spring/summer and there's nothing left for me in the fall/winter except holiday songs. But this year is kinda different because there are some interesting releases at the end of the year so, i decided to recap the music (that I listened to mostly or grabbed my attention):
[this is the music that i like listening to in 2013 so probably they're none of your favorites... i also don't include a lot of rock or hip-hop in general because i don't listen to it much in 2013. #sorrynotsorry?]


The feels from the intro tho...

This might be a little overplayed butttt it's fun!

Overgrown is awesome (tho i prefer James Blake's first album). Check out this version of Retrograde: https://soundcloud.com/loston/retrograde-james-blake from a whole different point of view.



Also check out MS MR's cover of Arctic Monkeys' Do I Wanna Know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0AiH7j5IoQ






London Grammar is one of my biggest favorite that I've discovered in 2013. Starting Wasting My Young Years, to Darling Are You Gonna Leave Me and then to the whole If You Wait album I've become more and more mesmerized by them. https://soundcloud.com/londongrammar

No doubt that Arctic Monkey's AM is filled with gold. Just pick anything you like, Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High is currently my fav.


The noob who bombed her way with Royals and comments on popstars. But her songa in Pure Heroine are all as great as her luscious thick curls.








Sam Smith. He gives me all the feels in every song he sings. Fugh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUK6HlzNWEg)



We all love Justin (Vernon).







The whole of Beyonce's self-titled album is amazing. My top favorite is Pretty Hurts, followed by Rocket, ***Flawless, Blow, Partition and then the rest. Go listen/watch to all of it because it's good.


Those are the songs that accompanied me through everyday routines. So sorry for lack of diversity in genre thooo. Have a great holiday peeps!
