Music Monday | Top 5 Songs of the Week - 20/07/15

Last Monday I was away all day and when I got home I was so tired that I completely forgot to write about my top 5 songs of the week! Here are the 5 songs that I've been loving recently.

1. Chains - Nick Jonas

"Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me."

I used to love the Jonas Brothers whenever I was younger, but then again, who didn't? Now that Nick has gone solo I am loving his new sound! Admittedly, I didn't really like this song when I first heard it, but it has grew on me. Chains is a lot edgier than any of his other singles (especially the ones from his Jonas Brothers days!) but it's a really good song!

2. Marvin Gaye - Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor

"Just like they say it in the song, until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on."

I really like the 60s vibe of this song. Charlie Puth's and Meghan Trainor's voices sound really well together and I love the harmonies throughout. I love a good harmony! It's hard not to like this song, and, thanks to the Fiat advertisement, it's constantly stuck in my head.

3. Let it Go - James Bay

"Why don't you be you and I'll be me."

James Bay has an amazing voice and is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter. There isn't one song by him that I have heard that I don't like, and Let it Go is no exception. His voice throughout this song is full of emotion and he easily conveys his feelings through his mellow tone, unlike some other artists today.

4. Oh My Love - The Score

"You're the only prayer I need to make me feel blessed."

This is such a feel-good song! Like Marvin Gaye, this song has been stuck in my head because of an advertisement. It's incredibly catchy and I can guarantee after listening to it, you will have the "oh oh o-oh" part stuck in your head for a long time!

5. She's Kinda Hot - 5 Seconds of Summer

"We are the kings and the queens of the new broken scene, yeah we're alright though."

On Friday 5SOS released their new single, She's Kinda Hot (which you can buy here). I have been listening to this on repeat since it was released, it's so good! So good that it jumped straight to number 1 in many countries all around the world! I love the riff and whenever I hear this song I just want to sing the lyrics at the top of my lungs, and I'm not gonna lie, I do.
