If You Listen To Nothing Else Today

Hello loves, it’s been a while but I am here and ready to bring you into 2016 and beyond with the best tunes, new and old! Happy holidays to everyone out there, I hope you all are having happy and restful days. Today, I bring you a song that is by no means new or a hidden gem, but instead a song that I have come across recently and am just loving. This song is perfectly smooth and calming, but at the same time makes you groove to it. The name perfectly describes the song I think.

Different Kind Of Love // Kid Runner

If You Listen To Nothing Else Today

Hello and happy Friday to all of you lovely people. I have the perfect track to send you into the weekend with a little pep in your step. This is a brand new release (i.e. today) from Kid Runner and it is such a tune I thought everyone needed to know about it right now. Right from the beginning it has a great whistle line that gives the track this kind of care-free/upbeat vibe, and then everything else comes in and I’m literally dancing in my seat as I write this. There are some awesome lines with cool syncopations and melodies that make it more unique than your standard alt-pop song, and the male and female vocals blend really well together. This band has already had some big accomplishments, and with a new EP ahead, I am very interested to see what’s up next. So do a little dancing and have a good weekend!

Monday // Matt Corby

If You Listen To Nothing Else Today

I about to make a bold statement, but I feel confident in saying it: Matt Corby has my favorite voice in the entire music industry. There, I said it. Matt has been gone for far, far too long and he has finally decided to grace us mere mortals with a new single (which might mean new album!) Everyone knows I am a sucker for beautiful harmonies and vocals, and this is the perfect track for this because Matt has recorded this song using entirely his own voice. That’s right, no guitar, no kick drum, just him laying down his own harmonies to himself. Now that I have gushed about the wonder that is Matt Corby, listen to this new track. Over and over.

WILD // Troye Sivan

If You Listen To Nothing Else Today

I have so many things to say about this song and about Troye Sivan. Mostly what I want to say is that I’ve had this song on repeat because the melody is perfection and it’s always stuck in my head. And then as if that isn’t enough to suck me in, the backbeat has this fantastic bass and a rhythm that makes me want to groove forever and the synth pad elements that make this song everything. What I have to say about Troye Sivan is that I have massive respect for him because he was already a pretty public figure on YouTube and has made this transition into the music world, but he didn’t do it the way a lot of other public figures do that transition. As in, he didn’t just enter into the world of mass pop music and radio play and all that, he is making music that fits him and that is genuinely unique and really freaking good to be honest. You go Troye. (Clearly I have strong feelings, so keep your eye on Weekly Obsession…)

Addicted // The Night Café

If You Listen To Nothing Else Today

~I’m addicted to this song, and you know it~ Cheesy but true because this song is so great. It’s like dreamy but still a song to groove to.It starts out and I thought we were going to be in the middle of an 80’s pop song, and then everything else drops in and I remember why I am so excited about this band. I have been obsessed with this guy’s voice since day one, like the day they were still Canvas and dropped “Growing Up”. I can’t think of a way to describe the guitar hooks other than literally nuts, just so good. I legitimately gasped when I saw that this group dropped another song because I’ve been waiting to see if they could put out something as good as the last one, and look at that, they did. The harmonies thrown in just give this track a little something extra, and every time I hear it everything feels like it has finally fallen into place. Please send more new music our way because we are LOVING IT.

Fix // Hazel English

If You Listen To Nothing Else Today

Today, our lives have been blessed with another Hazel English single. I think this might be my favorite one yet. I’m obsessed with everything about the chorus from the lyrics to the fantastic melody, and the rest of the track fits perfectly with it so obviously I love the rest of it. I don’t know if it’s just me, but listening to this song makes me feel like I’m remembering the good old days and I think it’s a combination of the sound and the message. She’s also just a retro kind of girl so maybe that’s it. Also, I can’t get enough of her voice. So give it a listen, and give Hazel some love.

Boys Life // Small Black

If You Listen To Nothing Else Today

I vibe with this song so hard because when I listen to it, I can’t even help but to get lost in all of the intricacies of the track. Like as I’m sitting here trying to convey to you why you need to listen to this song it’s taking me three times as long because I just want to stop and enjoy the song. The vocals are really smooth and toned down, which I think worked really well because it allows all of the pieces of the track to be of equal focus. It has a beat that’s definitely driving the song and that I am literally bopping to in the middle of a coffee shop (and people are staring but I can’t help it) but not so much so that I would call it upbeat. I suggest headphones in and volume up for this one.

Cool Blue // The Japanese House

If You Listen To Nothing Else Today

THE JAPANESE HOUSE IS BACK!!!!!!!!! You all know I am obsessed with this chick and I could not be more excited to get some new material. Of course, it’s amazing because that was never up for dispute. What is great though is that with this new track, we get a chance to see another side of the sounds she has to offer us peasants. This song still has elements of the haunting, kind of mellowed-out sounds we know and love, and of course the insane harmonies that make my heart sing, but we also now get to hear a more upbeat vibe. I don’t want to go as far as to call it a dance beat, but almost. Anyway, revel in the greatness. Also cross your fingers for some American tour dates.

Beat Of My Drum // POWERS

If You Listen To Nothing Else Today

Hello and happy Monday, here is a tune to hopefully get your week off to a good start. This is a good indie pop jam with just enough electronic elements to make you want to dance a little in your desk chair, but not enough to overwhelm you. Pair that with a seamless blend of vocals from this duo, and you have the perfect song to bump to.

I Want You Like A Seatbelt // Chadwick Stokes

If You Listen To Nothing Else Today

I love this song. It starts out all chill and sweet and you think you know what’s going on and then it takes a turn and gets really upbeat and just fun. I think the lyrics are hilarious and super clever, and it just makes me want to jump around honestly. It kind of reminds me of a more chill version of “Are You Gonna Be My Girl?” by Jet, but that could just be me. Plus, Chadwick is from Boston so there’s a little extra love.

Speaking of Boston, The Lucky Velvet is back in Bean Town for yet another year of academics and ~good times~
