I find with music I quickly become a fan,
and then forget or move on to something different. But with the following artists I find myself
constantly going back to their albums, humming their songs, and truly interested
in when they release any new music. Here
are my 4 favourite artists… for now anyway…
1.
Hozier
This is a newer artist that I have only
discovered recently. He is an Irish
musician whose song “Take me to Church” is starting to play on radio stations
across North America. His music is a mixture of indie, blues, and even a bit of
soul. He has a very cool sound and tone to his voice, which I find very unique.
2.
Vance Joy
I only really started listening to Vance
Joy’s music after I saw him in concert.
He is an Australian musician with a very beachy, laid-back vibe. He reminds me of Jack Johnson, and Jason Mraz, with a combination of indie and folk music.
He is excellent live and I would definitely go see him again. Check out his two singles, “Riptide”, and
“Mess is Mine”.
3.
Sam Smith
Sam Smith is one of those artists that
exploded after his single “Stay With Me” was released. I’ve only recently started listening to the
rest of his music and I must say, his songs capture you emotionally. The sound of his voice is just amazing and
makes you want to keep listening. My
dream would be for him and Adele to make a song together, that would be amazing!
4.
Milky Chance
This is a German duo who have recently
caught my attention. They have a very
unique sound, which at first couldn’t decide if I liked or not. But after listening to more songs it really
grew on me. Their sound is a mixture of reggae and electronic music, if it
doesn’t sound like your thing I would encourage you to listen to their song
“Stolen Dance” and then make up your mind!
