Once in a while I just like to share some tunes I'm digging. This is one of those times. My challenge for you: Pick three below that you haven't heard. Give em a listen and let me know what you think! Then tell me some of your current favorite songs!
P!nk and Nate Ruess, Just Give Me A Reason. I've owned the P!nk album since it dropped in September. And this was one of my favorite tracks on the very first listen. I literally cannot get enough of this song. It's one of those songs that I think about and have to listen to at least once a day. I know, I'm weird. But it's beautiful. Their voices blend together so well. It is sang so powerfully and passionately the words are haunting. It's the perfect song.
The Band Perry, Done. Who doesn't love an angsty country song? Does this not make you want to jump on a table and throw something at someone? The fast paced, angry tone of this song makes it a great song to belt out.
Justin Timberlake, Mirrors. Confession Time: I've never really been that big of a JT fan. I know, I know. Even in my Nsync fangirl days, I was a J.C. kinda girl. I don't own a single Justin Timberlake solo album. But I'll admit that the new one, which I've heard via my roomates, is pretty good. And this song, Mirrors, is my favorite. I love when I hear it on the radio, I love singing along. It's beautiful.
Iconca Pop, I Love It. Normally I wouldn't like this kind of song, but something about it just makes me feel like dancing, waving my arms up in the air and proclaim I DON'T CARE. It's an anthem for us 20 somethings, I believe.
Imagine Dragons, Radioactive. Big fan of this band. This song is catchy, dark, soulful and passionate.
Fall Out Boy, My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark. My inner 16 year old is in love with the fact that FOB has made a comeback! I don't think I'll ever outgrow my love for them, and I dig their new sound.
Taylor Swift, 22. When I first got my hands on Taylor's album, Red, I HATED this song. I would refuse to listen to it and skip it whenever it came on. Now? I kinda like it. Damn you, pop songs! I still hate the way she sings it (she sounds like Avirl Lavinge on drugs) but I can relate to the lyrics and I'd be lying if I said I didn't dance around to this song. Plus, I love that Tay Tay so boldy sings out "You don't know bout me".
Emeli Sande, Next To Me. I was introduced to Emeli's music a few months back via a coworker, and I'm hooked. Her album is amazing. This single is catchy and fun, her voice is wonderful. Check out her other stuff, too!
Lady Antebellum, Downtown. I'm a big fan of Lady A and have been waiting anxiously for new music from them. Downtown does not disapoint. It's one of their more upbeat singles. It's sassy and fun.
Phillip Phillips, Gone Gone Gone. I had my doubts about this guy when he was crowned Idol winner last season, but so far he's released two hit singles. This is the 2nd, and I adore it. I like the bluegrassy feel, I like the lyrics.
Sara Barielles, Brave. I could just hug Sara for writing such a powerful anthem against bullying. you go, girl.
How fun :) I listened to most of them. I have to admit, I actually like a lot of Taylor Swift's music, even though I really don't want to! She knows how to make things catchy :)
I loved the Lady A video! That was so cute, and a great song :)
One of the ones I hadn't heard of was Emelie Sande. Love her!
Oh, and I loved the Phillip Phillip's song, too :)
I really liked Emeli Sandi's voice. I had not heard of most of these artists or songs. I'm a fan of Band Perry and Lady A. I'll admit it... I'm stuck in the 60's!
I picked Just Give Me a Reason, Mirrors and 22. I liked them all! The first is a fave of my friend's, it turns out. The music video of Mirrors gave me goosebumps. 22 is very fun and catchy and made me miss being 22 waahhh. And I love Tay Tay.

Challenge accepted!
Perfect timing coz this morning I was lamenting that my ipod playlist is so outdated and I need to find new songs.
Will come back when I'm done listening.

Great list! "Just Give Me A Reason" and "Next To Me" are two of my favourite songs right now.
