Ellie Goulding // Love Me Like You Do

Download @ Amazon.co.uk | Download @ iTunes

It’s already been named as the fastest selling single of 2015 in the UK (for the moment, anyway) but Ellie Goulding makes a return to the chart with a little number lifted from the forthcoming Fifty Shades of Grey.

There’s almost a beautiful contrast to the song with Goulding’s almost innocent sounding vocals paired with the lyrics having more of an inkling to the film and of course book that it’s taken from. Our one grips with the track though is how similar it’s sounding in comparison to past single releases so in that way, we don’t hear anything that we haven’t heard before, yet we find ourselves enjoying the track.

Anyways…Mr Grey will see you now

Callaghan // Best Year 2015

Download @ Amazon.co.uk | Download @ iTunes

We’ve been fans of Callghan here for a while and is soon to release a new album, A History of Now. The first release from it isn’t a new track but an update to a release from 2012.

We not going to lie that the 2012 release is still a favourite (see our original review here) but this updated sound seems to fit better with the sound of the upcoming album, based on what we’ve heard over on Callaghan’s site. And we guess a track that been with her for 4 years does deserve an makeover. Here’s hoping  that 2015 is the ‘best year’ for her.

Selena Gomez // The Heart Wants What It Wants

Download @ Amazon.co.uk | Download @ iTunes

It’s been a while since we last came across Selena Gomez but this release, taken from her forthcoming best of, For You did catch our attention.

It’s a raw & emotional track all about falling in love with the wrong person, knowing that but being unable to do anything about it as after all, as the title says, the heart wants what it wants. Our only gripe with the track is that of the chorus with the long drawn out want of the chorus. It does just feel to us that it detracts from the heart felt emotion of the verses & bridge and that there was nothing else that they felt could fit here.

A shame just one thing detracts from what is otherwise a great little number.
