My Five: Favourite Songs Right Now

I go through phases with songs. I’ll listen to certain tracks over and over again until I get sick of them, and then move on to something new. Oftentimes when I go back and listen to those songs months down the road they remind me so vividly of that point in my life when they were such a huge part of the soundtrack of my days. It’s amazing the power music has to bring you right back!

Here are five songs I’m really digging right now.

1. Mike Edel – East Shore West Shore

I talked about Mike when I went to see him in concert earlier this month. Now his new album is out, and I love it just as much as his last! This song especially stands out for me – I love the gorgeous male/female harmonies running through it.

2. CHVRCHES – We Sink

I had heard a few tracks off of CHVRCHES’ album, but it was only recently that I’d explored beyond the hits. I love the dancy, driving beat of this one. It now has a secure spot on my running playlist!

3. Timber Timbre – Hot Dreams

This has been my favourite jam ever since my sister introduced me to it on our way up to the lake. Taylor Kirk’s voice is silky smooth, and the sax at the end is as sultry as can be. Romantics beware, this one will get you!

4. Mark Ronson – I Can’t Lose

We all know his world famous duet with Bruno Mars, but there’s a lot of great stuff on Mark Ronson’s Uptown Special beyond Uptown Funk. This song is so fun and upbeat, and the liberal use of horns and old school harmonies make it a little different than your average hit.

5. AronChupa – I’m an Albatrosz

And now for something that falls firmly into the guilty pleasure category… This song is pure fun. The lyrics are totally nonsensical, but when the beat is this good and the song’s full of so much quirky playfulness, who really cares?
