- Sam Smith - In The Lonely Hour
For some reason I lump him with the likes of Emeli Sande. Maybe because they're both British R&B/Soul singers that I like. Anyways...
Must hear: Like I Can, Stay With Me, Restart - First Aid Kit - Stay Gold
Haunting and melencholy countryish songs - for fans of The Civil Wars, I think.Their song My Silver Lining is also the free single this week!
Must hear: Waitress Song, Shattered & Hollow, Stay Gold - John Newman - Tribute
Not-so-new-but-I'm-finally-listening-to-it-and-I-enjoy-it album of the week. He and Sam Smith were (maybe) on an Artists To Watch list for 2014 and they're living up to expectation.
Must hear: Losing Sleep, Easy, All I Need Is You - 5 Seconds Of Summer - American Idiot [Green Day cover]
Are they punk rock yet? (This is featured on Kerrang's Green day tribute CD) - Passenger - Whispers
Eveything I needed and a little bit more. Out of this world storytelling combined with sometimes ironic upbeat melodies - the signature sound, yeah?
Must hear: Rolling Stone, 27, Scare Away The Dark - Watsky - Whoa Whoa Whoa
New Album, All You Can Do is out 8/12. Bo Burnham is in the video. I don't even have words.

This Week In Music: 12/06/14
Another week of pretty mellow music we have here. I think it's time I head up North and sit around by the bay listening to these next few tunes.
