Top Tracks of February



I’m playing long overdue catch up but, as february is the month celebrating love, i might as well shout out about one of mine…music!


I might be yet to find someone who’ll make me a playlist (sickening I know) but that didn’t stop me from finding new tracks to obsess over in February. January proved to be a good month for music and February seemed to keep this theme going, with plenty of offerings from music heavyweights and newbies alike.

Here are my Top Tracks of February 2023…

Hard mf 2 luv - bad sounds

The third single from brothers-come-bandmates Bad Sounds, there’s an infectious air to the track (despite its less than positive sentiment) with its jingly instrumentals and whispery vocals.

Whether you’re familiar with the duo or not, this song is a perfect introduction (or way to rediscover) their sound. I’m hoping they come back to somewhere local so I can see them live again, as their songs pack a punch when performed for a crowd.


Monday morning - ten tonnes

A teaser for his upcoming sophomore album, ‘Dancing, Alone’, Ten Tonnes returned in February with this single.

A simple, indie crowd pleaser, the unique vocals and catchy instrumentals are sure to grab your attention and get you dancing away those Monday blues.


Figure 8 - paramore

One of the 10 songs that make up their seventh album, ‘This Is Why’, Paramore prove that they are more than deserving of their long lasting legacy in the music world with this track.

Whilst it’s not the biggest hit of the album (I’d argue it’s the title track, but what do I know?), it’s an easy to listen to song and a good reintroduction to the band that allowed half of us to embrace our emo phase and the other half to deny it even happening.


Just to keep you satisfied - inhaler

Dublin indie rockers Inhaler dropped their second album, ‘Cuts & Bruises’ in February and this track was one I couldn’t get out of my head.

An extension of the gorgeous indie rock stylings they’ve become known for, the track is full of drawling vocals and interesting instrumentals that are just very, well, satisfying


So, there we have it, my Top Tracks of February 2023. What songs/albums did you have on repeat in January?

Top Albums of 2022: Part One

Here is the first part of my ‘top albums of 2022’. Featuring spector, miles kane and more! After the pandemic delayed the release of eagerly awaited songs and albums for many artists, 2022 proved to be the year the music industry got firmly back on its feet. So many new releases found their way into our ears (and onto our playlists) last year that I couldn’t possibly fit them into one post - believe me, I tried! After much deliberation, I narrowed it down to seventeen (yes seventeen! ) releases that I couldn’t stop listening to last year (and will probably continue to listen to this year - sorry neighbours!). So, let’s get into it! Here are the first 10 releases that have wormed their way on to my ‘Top Albums of 2022’, with release dates from January to May 2022.

What I Read In March

  March WAS a pretty full on month for me but, in amongst the birthdays, gigs and girl’s trips, i actually managed to squeeze in a fair bit of reading. I am slowly but surely making my towards my  Goodreads  goal for the year and glad to say, in March, I’ve done so reading some very good books indeed.  Let’s get into it… After previously being gifted Croucher’s debut, Reputation , I realised I’d not only found a new (to me) author but one whose books I find myself drawn to, not just because of the cool covers. The regency novel might be something we all know plenty about (especially thanks to a certain Netflix series) but Croucher once again twists the narrative, making things a lot more interesting. I follow Emily on Instagram  and, aside from taking gorgeous photos of life and literature, I’m sure she’ll do brilliant things if Heartbreak Houseshare is anything to go by. Its gradual romance and focus on female friendships make for a cosy and comforting read, wh...
