My Soundtrack of 2018: The Newer Additions

IMG_20181218_212207

Here is a full list of music I only began listening to this year!
I’m usually quite terrible at finding new music, but thanks to my edgy brother and Spotify, I have been listening to newish music I actually really like. Like a lot.

Now, a majority of these songs and artists aren’t necessarily new to 2018, it’s just that they were new and fresh for me. It was a rare year of listening to music that weren’t my old reliable favourites. Although Spotify told me I did listen to Fleetwood Mac the most….

These songs and artists I have listed in no particular order or ranking, have been on constant repeat. Like 30-50 times each per song or no doubt even more.

Summary of the kind of music I have liked this year:

Female harmonies.
Female rock musicians.
Cute percussion.
Cheeky & funny lyrics.
Fun guilty pleasure pop songs with electric guitar that I can dance to.
….hope more males make the list next year. Sorry guys!
