2013 favourites

Unbelievable that 2013 has almost come to an end. So I thought I would look back on the music-related things that happened this year and share my all-time favourites.

Gigs:
I've seen quite a few amazing artists over the past year. Like for example Cody Simpson, Lawson and The Vamps, just to name a few. But the most amazing act I've seen in 2013 was Jessie J. I saw her at a festival last summer, she was the headliner so she still had a full-on two hour set. She absolutely smashed it.

CD's:
A few of my favourite artist released albums this year.
*Selena Gomez - Stars Dance.
I love this album a lot because it's a lot more her own style. The songs sound a lot more like electronic music. It's a lot less "Disney-like" and a lot more mature, I would say. Even though I liked her older albums as well (a few years ago) I like the change she made, because I think she grew and most of her fans grew along with her.
*Cody Simpson - Surfers Paradise.
Last summer Cody finished up a new album full of his "summer vibes", and it's fair to say these songs have been my summer tunes. All of the songs are just amazing and it just makes me want to run outside and dance.

Artists:
There are a few artists I've been loving for the past year.
*The Vamps. This year I fell absolutely in love with this band. They are an amazing band who put covers on YouTube on a regular base, but they also brought their first single out 'Can We Dance'. I got the chance to see them live last summer (before they even brought their single out) and they were fabulous.
*The 1975. "The breakthrough act of the year" according to MTV, and they're right. Their debut album came out this summer and they toured through Europe, America and Australia already.

Singles:
I've been loving these singles in 2013.
*Avril Lavigne - Here's to Never Growing Up
"Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs. With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love. Got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk. Singing here's to never growing up" it's fair to say that this song has been my jam, past spring.
*Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran - Everything Has Changed
I already loved this song back in 2012, because it was already on her album 'Red', which came out in October 2012. But this year the music video for 'Everything Has Changed' came out and everyone seemed to absolutely love it because of the little Ed and the little Taylor.
