MUSIC MONDAYS


I'm back with another Music Monday, finally! I took a bit of a break from the internet for a while over Christmas and then had a tough start to the year but I'm back on the blog and back to hopefully posting much more frequently than I managed to do last year. So, here's the lowdown on five songs I've been loving recently.

1. Finders Keepers - Mabel ft. Kojo Funds
Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you I've been obsessed with this song for months. I rarely listen to the charts nowadays (I'm more into Magic Soul and Heart 80's - I'm an old woman at heart) but for some reason this song gives me 90's RnB vibes and I'm here for it.

2. God's Plan - Drake
I feel like it's 2012 and I'm madly in love with Drake all over again. I loved his early stuff then kind of fell out of love with his music for a bit but then he brought out his latest EP and I'm loving it. The video for this song just cemented the fact that Drake is up there as one of my favourite celebrities.

3. Dangerously In Love - Beyonce
This came up on my Spotify playlist the other week and I wondered why I hadn't listened to it in so long. It's an absolutely beautiful song and well Beyonce is Beyonce. There's a performance she did where she rips of her earrings because she gets so into it and I'm like GET IT GIRLLLLL. I wish she'd perform this more but seeing as her back catalogue is expansive to say the least and she has a limited amount of time on stage, it's not really surprising that she doesn't.

4. Anything from Hamilton. And I literally mean anything.
I finally got to see Hamilton the other week, almost a year to the day from booking my tickets. And I was not disappointed. It was truly an experience like no other and I'm so looking forward to going to see it again very soon. I loved the soundtrack before seeing it but, finally being able to see it performed live gave me whole new appreciation for the soundtrack and I've had it on repeat for the past couple of weeks. Right Hand Man and Satisfied are probably my two favourites. I would 100% recommend everyone go and grab a ticket if you can. You will be singing the songs for months afterwards.

5. I Found Lovin' - Fatback Band

An oldie but a goodie. I grew up on music from the 70's and 80's thanks to being my mum's sidekick for the first 11 years of my life, so it's only natural that a lot of that music has filtered into what I listen to today. I literally have entire playlists dedicated to that era but anything from Earth Wind and Fire or this song by Fatback Band are definitely up there as some of my favourite songs of all time. I picked this one because it's been on my in car playlist for a while and you just can't help but dance along when you hear it. If you want to be put in a good mood then pop this on and your day will brighten almost immediately!

So, that's my five favourite songs for March. It's honestly getting harder and harder to pick just 5 songs each month. I literally feel like I'm picking between my (non-existent) children (drama queen right there). Although, I did cheat by putting the entire soundtrack to Hamilton in here but it's my list so I can do what I want! On a side note - can you believe March is almost over already. January felt like it went on for at least 6 weeks but February and March just flew. Once April starts I want to definitely want to try to be more consistent with the blog posts so let me know if there's anything you'd like to see a post on.

Until next time
Fran
