Today I wanted to share a few songs that I’ve been playing on repeat recently. When I find a song that I really like, I’ll just listen to it over and over again (to my roommate’s great dismay). I have fairly widespread music tastes- I like most genres, except probably country and screamo music. My favorite type is definitely R&B/Soul. I absolutely adore artists like John Legend and Solange (and it probably doesn’t need to be said, but Beyoncé is at the top of my list of favorite musicians).
I’m a big fan of Spotify and I like to browse the different playlists on there. In particular, I love the ‘New Music Tuesday’ playlist that gets updated every week. I try to listen to the entire playlist and I usually discover at least one or two fresh new hits that I like. I hope you like this playlist and let me know if there are any songs you think I should check out!
Tell me: What song are you currently playing on repeat?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

I always love discovering new music in any way I can – spotify has become my best friend these past few years, especially since I can see what my friends (well, actually, my siblings, my friends are not tech savvy enough to use spotify) are listening to!

Spotify is so great and it’s pretty much the only music service I use right now. Thanks so much for that song you sent me- I really liked it!
I love, love, loooove Lost Stars! This is a great list!
Lost Stars is such a lovely song. Thank you so much!
I really love Jessie Ware’s song! And Banks is amazing! Check out Catfish and the Bottlemen and George Ezra – they’re pretty popular in the UK right now!

Thanks so much for the suggestions Saskia! I will definitely look them up :)
I haven’t heard any of these songs, so I’m looking forward to listening! I don’t listen to the radio much so I’ve been listening to alot of Little Dragon, Liane La Havas and Feist on Pandora lately.
I love Lianne La Havas! Her voice is so great.
I am just like you. Once I love a song I listen it to it over and over and over for months.
Glad I’m not the only one! I’ve had this playlist on repeat since I made it :)
Love the playlist! Looking forward to having this playlist :)
Thank you Natalie!
