STICKY FINGERS

We recently discovered this Aussie group just a few short weeks ago. With a fusion of raggae, pop, psych and bourbon, they're a refreshing new sound that can be alikened to Pink Floyd and Arctic Monkeys. The band consists of five members who released their first album Caress your Soul in 2013 and immediately sold out their album tour. They have released their second album Land of Pleasure and we can safely say that it is Amazing! It's so good in fact that a couple days later we went to see them play in London at the Garage. The venue was sold out and they were incredible live. Here's a little taste of their music in "How to Fly."

CAGE THE ELEPHANT

Since I’ve stumbled across Cage the Elephant, an American rock band, I have been really liking their music and in particular their ‘Melophobia’ album. I first heard ‘come a little closer’ from the band and after really liking the song, I researched more on the band and in turn found out their ‘ Melophobia’ album. The album is catchy and just overall and a really good album. Apparently on this album the band was challenged with ‘finding cohesiveness in the ideas of five different people’ and in my opinion this worked in their favor because the album is amazing. The lyrics are meaningful and relatable which allow the audience to form a connection with the album on a personal level. And when paired with amazing melodies, it makes the perfect recipe for a successful album. So overall I’ve been really liking Cage the Elephant and I would definitely recommend listening to their music.

THE WEEKND

Recently after finding one of his songs 'high for this' I became fascinated with the weeknd’s music. Abel Tesfaye, or more commonly known as The Weeknd, is an artist from Canada, who produces music of the genre PBR&B, also referred to as hipster R&B and alternative R&B. His music is not necessarily what I would usually go for but he has a distinctive and diverse voice and when paired with his tunes and lyrics produces an amazing sound. His voice is very soft and soothing and so creates juxtaposition with his lyrics, which is quite harsh otherwise. I find him similar to Frank Ocean, whose music I also find exceptional, in the way that despite your music taste I feel like their music is universally pleasing to a majority of people.

MATT CORBY

An artist I've recently been loving is Matt Corby the stunning Aussie, aged 23, who has managed to win over many hearts with his looks and compelling voice. His music generally is described by being of an indie, folk and blues genre which I would say is pretty accurate, although I can identify some hints of rock within his music as well. Corby was recommended to me by a friend and at first I was skeptical, but ironically I fell in love with his music. Matt actually started his music career at the age of 16 when he participated in the TV talent show Australian idol where he was the runner up of the season. I find him hard to compare to any other musicians because he possesses a highly unique voice and his music is also very individual, which helps set him apart from existing musicians.
