The only album I've listened to before is crybaby and it is absolutely amazing! Melanie Martinez is so talented and her aesthetic is so adorable. Her music videos are always super creative as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm defo gonna give some of these other albums a listen!
She's so great!
DeleteThis is such a cool and inspiring challenge! And what a great way to find new music :D
ReplyDeleteI like Troye Sivans new album, actually the same songs you do :P and 'Wild'.
If you want, I dont know if you do, but the I can recommend you sleeping at lasts albums. (all of them! lol but Atlas 2 is really nice) and the scores from Carol and Brooklyn I think are amazing too! And if you want to check a danish singer out then Lukas Grahams first album 'Lukas Graham' is pretty cool.

Ahh I think I've heard some of Lukas Graham's stuff, will look up the others!
DeleteI've had such a musical morning thanks to this blog post, revisiting a lot of music I've not heard in YEARS. Thanks you :D
ReplyDeleteHow do you find the music you want to listen to?
Yay!
DeleteSpotify mostly. :)
I really like Troye Sivan's album! i haven't heard any of the other ones here though.
ReplyDeleteI was really pleasantly surprised :)
DeleteOne of my favourites from Blue Neighbourhood is Ease :) The only other artists I've heard are Daughter and Melanie Martinez! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI felt the same about the new Daughter album. Don't get me wrong, I do really like it, it just wasn't 'woahhh' like I expected. But then nothing will be better than my favourite track by them, 'Home', to me. I think I expect everything to live up to that.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was just okay. Have since listened to another of their albums and it was much better!
DeleteSo I started checking out the albums you suggested, and I'm only 2 songs into KING... and thank you. Thank you. <3
ReplyDeleteThey're so great!
DeleteI fell in love with The Japanese House 5 seconds into the first EP, so I'm really excited to see that you've included it in your favourites. 'House Clean' has been a great extension to 'Pools To Bathe In' - I tend to turn to TJH, Bon Iver or Volcano Choir's album 'Repave' whenever I'm craving calm tunes :)
ReplyDeleteGotta love a bit of Bon Iver <3
DeleteI feel like the Lion Babe album was released at just the right time with international fashion week's taking place. It has such a catwalk feel. So glad you're doing music posts, they're so hard to come by in blogging.

DeleteOooooo I love this idea! Troye's album was fantastic, so not what I expected from a YouTube musician. And GOSH I adore Melanie Martinez! Glad you're a fan too :) Xx
ReplyDeleteShe's so great!
DeleteThis is such a cool idea! Last year I was so busy that I didn't have a lot of time to just sit, listen and enjoy new music but I really want to do that this year, you've inspired me! x
