Who we Listened to in 2013…
Written by oliviawallwork
Throughout 2013, I compiled a playlist of artists that I was listening to that year – just in case you would want to have a listen too! So, as it is the New Year, I thought we could take a look back at some of those artists…
Way back in February, the pop duo added to the 2013 playlist was BOY. Not anything new or never heard of before, but two cute girls with super cute songs. With the cold, rainy weather in January, having a listen again to their sunshine-y songs was a perfect mood-enhancer!
And February was clearly a good music-lovin’ month because Little Nikki was also featured… And 2013 has certainly been an incredible year, where everyone listening to Radio 1 or 1X was listening to Little Nikki. After Intro Intro, she came back with a feature on a Maxsta song and a catchy one of her own…
And THEN, in February AGAIN, the beautiful Haim were shortlisted for this playlist… Enough is said about these California girls, they are everywhere! Here is my favourite track from their greatly anticipated album, which was released in September, Days are Gone…
Then my fortune telling skills of up-and-coming artists had a bit of a dry spell, but in September we of course added Lorde to the playlist, just before her album dropped later that month. And wow, Pure Heroin didn’t disappoint….
Sometimes, in interviews, she gets a bit ‘alternative’ for me… Like the above video for Team, apparently she thought of it in a dream and it was a world where the losers were the winners and it was full of sweat and plants… What?
And finally, we had the lovely Chrvches. I was up in Scotland over Christmas, so this Glaswegian band was the perfect soundtrack to my sale shopping spree on Boxing Day… Plus, it made its way onto my ‘Driving’ Spotify playlist – only the really great stuff gets on there! Here’s a delightful live performance…
A pretty great year for music in 2013! Who knows what this year shall bring…
