Albums

This is Ed Sheeran's latest album called Multipy, holding 12 brand new songs. This is my favorite Ed Sheeran album so far because his songs are inspirational and touching. What i like about the artist is that he writes alot of his own songs and they all have stories behind them. One of my favorite songs on the album is 'Afire Love' because although its a slow song the lyrics are catchy but heart breaking, it also makes us feel sympathy for Ed because its about his grandfather who has a disease and slowly forgets his grandson. This song takes us on the heartbreaking journey of Ed as he went through this tragic stage. The song also includes words that his grandmother said to his grandfather as he was slowly slipping away 'For your body next to mine, our hearts will beat as one'. This line just shows the relationship between the passionate grandparents and how hard it was for the family to go through this terrible tragedy. There is also a line that Ed's father said to him 'Its not your fault he doesn't know your face, you're not the only one', this again shows how much pain the family were going through as he slowly kept forgetting his loving family members. Ed isn't afraid to show his feelings in his songs and let everyone know how he grew up and about his life, that's what makes him such an amazing and inspirational artist.

After coming 3rd place on the Xfactor, One Direction released their very first album called Up All Night. After selling 131,000 copies in just the first week of release, the fabulous 5 are now the biggest boy band in the world! This group  in particular sing songs that are relatable to a lot of people and a lot of their songs are about love. The fans of One Direction are of course mainly girls, because this gorgeous band are young, handsome and can sing fantastically! What more could you want from a boy band? My favourite song on this album is What Makes You Beautiful, because it was their first ever song and i've loved it ever since it came out, the lyrics are also what every girl wants to hear come out of a boys mouth! This song is also their biggest hit.

This young artist is Lewis Watson on the cover of his latest album, The Morning. The album is full of chilled out and very relatable songs. Most of his songs are plucked on the acoustic guitar, which makes the songs more soft and touching. Lewis also has a quiet, calm voice which allows the tracks to be more placid and natural. My favourite song on this album has to be Stay, because i find the lyrics very relatable and the song is just so catchy, like the sort of song you can play over and over again.

Bad Blood is another of my favorite albums containing 12 exhilarating new songs. The smart thing about Bastille's songs are that they use metaphors in them to create a story. This makes the songs more meaningful and powerful because we can see a story behind it and it helps us paint a picture. 'Laura Palmer' is my favorite song in the album because it lets me imagine what is going on as the song plays, and i like that they include slow piano chords and also bass music in the same song. It makes the song more creative and expressive.

Finally, is Justin Timberlakes latest album 'The 20/20 Experience'. This album is packed with 40 songs that range from slow, acoustic songs to up beat and fast songs that you want to play over and over again. I think Justin Timberlake is quite inspirational as he is a singer, song writer, musician, actor and dancer. This makes me appreciate his songs  more because it would of taken his a long time to achieve all of this his talents and now he had made such amazing songs. 'Suit & Tie' is my favorite song in the album because it reminds me of the musical set in Chicago, as it has a airy, swinging groove, tinkling harps, finger-snap percussion and a tooting bass.
