MY FAVOURITE ALBUMS OF 2015 || SO FAR

Hey y'all! Its pretty much been six months or so since I've posted, but I'm currently off work and sick and needed to do something to pass the time. Poor excuse, I know. Anyways, I thought I'd fill y'all in on my favourite albums of 2015!

Breathe In. Breathe Out - Hilary Duff

Now, having been obsessed with Miss Duff since I was about 6-7 years old, had me extremely excited for this album release! I've had it on repeat since it's been out and I am truly in love with it. The album was everything I was expecting and more. She has exceeded all my expectations. You can tell the songs have all had countless hours spent worked on so they're perfect and capture what Hilary was wanting to achieve.

Favourite Song: Night Like This ft Kendall Schmidt

Title - Meghan Trainor

I think it genuinely sucks that Meghan Trainor cops so much flack in the media. In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated albums of the year. It's simply amazing. She wrote every song and only had 1 co-writer who also is the only other set of vocals you'll find on some songs (aside from the ones with big name features). Whilst I can understand where some critics come from, I just feel like if you look at it from her perspective, she's only trying to be a strong role model however I do believe it's coming across the wrong way. All tracks on this album truly show how talented this woman is. Simply amazing.

Favourite Song: 3am

Chaos and the Calm - James Bay

I have nearly no words to describe how much I love this album. It is literally impossible to dislike a single track, even in the slightest. This is one of the best kickback, good vibes albums that I own. Whenever I have had an absolute shithouse of a day and I'm a bit fired up, without fail this album soothes me back to reality. Every track is expertly written, produced and performed. IN LOVE.
Favourite song: Need The Sun to Break

American Beauty/American Psycho - Fall Out Boy

Anyone who knows me, knows that FOB is one of my favourite bands. So this album just goes without speaking. To me, because I am such a mega-fan, this album is flawless; flawlessly written, produced and performed. The guys even said themselves that this was one of the best records they'd ever written!
Simply amazing. Just buy it already.
Favourite Song: The Kids Aren't Alright

And that concludes my favourite albums of 2015 SO FAR. Keep your eye out for a part 2!

FAVOURITE ALBUMS OF 2014

WOOHOO! I've been wanting to do this post for a while now. I'm just so excited to share with anyone reading this my favourite albums of 2014!

Lets get to it…

1989 - Taylor Swift

I was waiting for the release of this album for so long. I'm super proud -- no, I don't think proud is the word -- but so happy for Taylor as she had the bravery to branch out and completely change genres. I have fallen in love with the 80's inspired syntho-pop sound. It's so different & not something you'd usually here in 2014. I'm so glad that she took a risk and it paid off so well.
Favourite Song: Style -- Mainly because it's so obvious it's about the one and only, Harry Styles and plus, who doesn't want someone with that James Dean daydream in their eyes?


Sweet Talker - Jessie J

If you aren't already aware, Jessie J is probably my favourite solo female artist. The pure emotion that comes from her voice in every song shows she gives nothing less than 110%. This is her 3rd album and she just keeps getting better, though thats hard because she's already perfect! This record has a mix of upbeat, catchy tunes and raw, stripped back, from the heart songs. This is definitely an album for y'all to put on and keep on repeat for months!
Favourite Song: Masterpiece -- I think this is a great song that absolutely anyone and everyone can relate to at some point in their life. It's so honest and pretty much spells out that nobodies perfect but we all deserve to try our best.

X - Ed Sheeran

My most anticipated album of the year. The wonderful Ed has done it again. Whilst I don't prefer this album to + or say Songs I Wrote With Amy, it is still an absolutely amazing record. Nothing will ever beat his pure, heartfelt voice and his amazing skills with his trusty guitar. I do love this album so much though. His voice can always bring me to tears. Damn you Ed!
Favourite Song: Afire Love -- No words. This is an amazing, raw song and I will love it forever.

In The Lonely Hour - Sam Smith

Last, but not least. My favourite album of the year. The one and only, Sammy Smith. I honestly don't know what to say about this album -- it's pretty self explanatory. It's too amazing for words. Sam's voice pulls you into each and every song and makes you feel like he's right in front of you, giving you a private performance. His voice is so strong, deep, emotional & flawless. This has got to be THE album of the year, no doubt about it.
Favourite Song: every single one of them. Impossible to not like a song from this record.

All in all, there have bee some amazing albums that have been produced this year. There have been so many new artists on the scene, so these guys have done extremely well to keep their popularity up. Although, it's not that hard 'coz they're all pretty perfect.
