My August Playlist!

-
Hey Guys x

I was going to do a July playlist, until I realised that I spent July listening to the same songs in my June Playlist, so I didn't think there was a point!

I spent all of yesterday adding different songs to my IPod, basically creating my playlist for August, so I thought that I'd show you guys what I picked!

Chandelier - Sia


I am loving this song at the moment! I think Sia is a really interesting artist (Who I'd like to know more about!) and this song is amazing! Her voice is great and the video is so... simple, yet really entertaining. I can never get tired of listening to this song.



Kiss Me Quick - Nathan Sykes


I talked about this song in my July favourites, I probably spoke about it before then, and I'll probably speak about again because I love it so much! It's Nathan Sykes' debut solo single and, as far as debuts go, it's amazing! I really can't wait to hear more of his music in the future!


Somewhere Only We Know - Lily Allen


This is such a beautiful song! I hadn't heard it for years when I saw it on YouTube the other day. Listening to it brought back a lot of childhood memories and the video is so lovely and beautiful! Listen to/watch this now if you haven't!


Hurt - Christina Aguilera


I heard this song by chance when I was flicking through the music channels one day last week and immediately fell in love with it! I've not always been the biggest fan of Christina Aguilera, but this song really showcases her amazing vocals! And, even if it didn't, it's a beautiful song!


She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5


I have always loved this song! I don't know exactly when it came out, but I've been listening to it for ages! So when I saw it on YouTube, I knew that I needed to add it to this playlist because I'm going to be listening to it on repeat for ages!


Black Magic - Little Mix


I heard this song once and was completely hooked! Although I'm not a big fan of girl bands, Little Mix have released some amazing songs and this is no exception! I love the concept of the video (although it faced a bit of controversy) and think that the song is really catchy.


Flashlight - Jessie J


I was a bit late to hear this song because I've been staying away from the 'Pitch Perfect' stuff, but when I heard it, I fell in love with it! The chorus in particular is amazing and Jessie J's voice sounds amazing on this song, and makes me want to listen to her entire album!


Marvin Gaye - Charlie Puth ft Meghan Trainor


When I first heard this song, I had no idea what it was or who sang it. I actually had the use the music recognition app 'Shazam' to find it. And when I found it, I replayed and replayed and replayed it, and I'm still not bored of listening to it!



Because You Loved Me - Celine Dion


I heard this song on the radio one night and it brought back so many memories! I also saw that they sang it on glee and loved their version, but nothing beats the original by Celine Dion, who's voice is amazing in every single way!


I Will Be - Leona Lewis


I know that this song was originally sung by Avril Lavigne, but I have always preferred Leona's version. In any case, I think the song is so beautiful and amazing that I don't care who's singing it! The lyrics are just... perfect!


So, those are most of the songs that I'm going to be listening to throughout August!

Thank you for reading

    Nice post!
    I love all of these songs!

    Christina Aguilera's "Hurt" brings back so many memories :D Me and my friends used to always try to hit those high notes but none of us ever could. She has such a wide vocal range!

    And did you know Sia actually wrote Jessie J's "Flashlight" together with Sam Smith? (Also Beyoncé's "Pretty Hurts" ans countless other hits) I adore Sia she's an amazing artist!

    She will be loved! Never ever gets old :D I can't help but always sing along to it when it comes on <3 Did you know that that is Adam Levine's favorite song to sing :) I don't think Maroon 5 has ever disappointed x

    Adore your taste in music!!! Literally listening to so many of these songs, and this reminded me to go back and listen to some old school Christina Aguilera and Celine Dion :)

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

Image
  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
