So
last week saw the UK embroiled in a heatwave and the weather was heavenly.
Seeing as I'm not going on holiday this year, not yet anyway, I fully basked in
the glory of the sun and the weather was long overdue! But, true to British
form, the cold, miserable weather is now well and truly back and I have had to
swap my shorts for jeans. Boo!
With the Olympics now in full swing and random outbursts of sunshine, it is slowly starting to feel like summer and nothing compliments summer as well as a summer soundtrack! The song that makes me feel most summery is a song called "Brokenhearted" by American duo Karmin.
I first heard this catchy pop track on Capital FM about a month ago and I instantly loved it. It's such an uplifting song and makes you want to dance and it was the PERFECT song for me and my friend to dance around in the summer sunshine to last week!
The song was released last Sunday and debuted at a respectable number 6 in the UK singles chart which is a pretty big achievement given that the song was not promoted at all throughout the UK - no television performances, no press interviews, nothing. One thing us British do is embrace the catchy pop tracks churned out by the Americans. I mean we kept Carly Rae Jepsen at number one with "Call Me Maybe" for four weeks and the song is still riding high in the charts months after its release.
A few other songs that I'm loving at the minute are Wiley featuring Ms D, "Heatwave". I look forward to this song coming on in a club one night when I'm out and I can imagine this song being a huuuuge hit in Ibiza and the like! I'm also loving Far East Movement featuring Cover Drive, "Turn Up the Love". I really love Cover Drive. Their reggae-influenced tracks are so anthemic. I'd love to see them live.
I am also bracing myself for the release of Rita Ora's debut album, "O.R.A", which is released on 27th August.
I have a feeling that this album will be the soundtrack to my summer, autumn and winter! I can't wait for when she tours as I will be there!
