1. Frank Ocean – Strawberry Swing
Off his debut mix tape “nostalgia, ULTRA,” this song is an absolute gem.
2. Ellie Goulding – Love Me Like You Do
I’ve definitely fallen to the 50 Shades of Grey hype… I mean, how can you not when the trailer plays before every Youtube video, and with songs like this and “Earned it”? Plus the still-unreleased version of Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” – can’t wait!
3. James Bay – Let It Go
Very emotional, but very sing-along-able (is that a word?)
4. Jaymes Young – Come Back For Me
5. Niykee Heaton – Rolling Stone
Niykee Heaton is a smart woman… sticking this great song at the end of her debut EP “Bad Intentions.”
Bonus: Ykiki Beat – Forever
The first time I heard this, I thought it was by a UK band. But after some research, Ykiki Beat is actually from Tokyo, Japan! The lead singer’s accent is very misleading.
