Remember

Hello! It's been such a hectic end of the month as usual. And I'm just taking time off to talk about the great music of August! It's been such a musiclicious month I would say.

Great Music of August:

- re:member by Olafur Arnalds

- Bloom by Troye Sivan

- 5 Dollars by Christine and The Queens (or should I say Chris?)

- Forgotten Love by Aurora

Song of the month: re:member by Olafur Arnalds (the whole album!)

Alright there are two albums that I've been looking forward to listening! They are re:member by Olafur Arnalds and Bloom by Troye Sivan. I think Olafur's new album is such a brilliant album. It's truly a work of art and definitely one of my favourite of the year. And Troye's second album is also great. He has grown a lot from his first album I must say. So much maturity in bloom I'd say.

Okay let's talk about re:member first. This album is one of my most anticipated album, since he released the title track of the album re:member back in April. re:member is such a beautiful song and it is one of my most played song of this year. To me it's a song that reminds me to go back to myself. That whatever thoughts, feelings that I have in my mind isn't a representation of who I really am.

And since then I've been excited to hear what the whole album is about. I think it's a great album with a mix of emotional-invoking songs (like Saman, oh goodness) and also those songs that kept you up on your mind (ekki hugsa and inconsist). The whole blend of piano and other instrumentations, his Stratus project, and the electronic sounds patches cohesively like a beautiful tapestry.

As for Troye Sivan bloom, I was also excited thanks to his first single "My my my!" earlier this year. It's such a bop and definitely one of the best pop songs of the year too. The opening track to the new album, "Seventeen" perfectly describes the album with the line "boy becomes a man now". I think Troye has matured a lot in this album from Blue Neighbourhood. He has a bright journey ahead of him.

September is going to be exciting too because Christine and The Queens (or should I say Chris haha) is releasing her new album, which I've preordered mwahaha. She released a new song with a video called 5 Dollars and I think it's such a catchy song. Also Chris looks so hot in a suit in the video heh.

And Aurora also released a new single from her upcoming album titled Forgotten Love! It's a great song and as usual, I love her voice. She hasn't released any information about the new album yet but she mentioned that it will be released in autumn? Or at the end of the year so yes, looking forward to that! :)

Alright that's all for this great music of August! 4 more months to the end of 2018 and of course, many more music to discover and enjoy. Kinda looking forward to the remaining of the year where more albums that I've been waiting to be released! Hope August have been awesome for you. Here's to a superb September ahead for all of us. Time to close another year well.
