#5. Ariana Grande – My Hair

Definitely not what I’d say is a “normal” track for this blog, but hey… songs got some swagger.

#4. The Knocks Feat. Foster The People – All About You

https://soundcloud.com/theknocks

Talk about a power pairing. The Knocks teaming up with Foster The People!? You can better expect this to be a catchy pop track full of sing-a-long hooks.

#3. Pikes Feat. Next To Neon – Flex & Stretch

Best part of the track? Easily the last 45 seconds with the layered vocals. Wish that had been incorporated throughout the entire song!

#2. Breathe. – Home

Everything breathe. creates is amazing, even if all their tracks sound very similar (frankly I thought this was maybe a re-release of an older track). For a band that only has 6 songs up on Spotify, 5 of them currently sit in my “top tracks” playlist. That’s a good batting average.

#1. Loud Luxury Feat. Frank Walker & Stephen Puth – Like Gold

Easy top choice this week. Like Gold has dominated my rotation in the last 2 weeks. That chorus and those hums are etched into my brain. The mild drop is pure ear ecstasy. The track of summer… in winter.
