Much like a mosquito that bites and leaves an itchy red lump, there are some tunes out at the moment that have gotten under my skin. Playing them over and over is akin to having to scratch the bite; you know it's probably not the best thing for you but dammit, it's addictive and it feels good.
There are three songs that I can't seem to leave along right now. The first one is "Love You So" by Delilah, the follow up to "Go". The video is an amazing mix of archive footage cut with scenes of the lady herself. Slightly less breathy than "Go". This is probably a good thing. She sounded like she was having a Lady Chatterly 'crisis' at points, which was distracting. This is released on the 18th of this month.
Florence + The Machine's album track "Spectrum" has also been played almost constantly for the past month, ever since I heard this on Annie Mac's Friday night show when Florence Welch filled in. Taken from the album "Ceremonials" (out now, in case you were wondering), I hope this is released as a single. It has more balls than Shake It Out and I like that.
Finally on the repeat, if you like your music with a more haunting, ethereal, synth-y sound, I fully recommend "Gone" from the wonderful Paper Crows (who, as I understand it, are busy recording at the moment - this is exciting news!) I fully blame Nick Grimshaw for this one. Over a week has passed and I still can't seem to leave it alone. I do love a female vocalist.
