Top 3 Songs of the week #4

Hi,

This week I've been loving...
Sex won't fill your heart by those who seek
Stay awake by London Grammar
Benjamin Twine by George Ezra

Sex won't fill your heart is a gorgeous indie-rock song by "Those who seek" which I reviewed HERE. The intro is amazing guitar work with twangy sounds over each other which has a great effect. When they get going the symbols crash all over the place and the guitar is full of stopping and starting with hard electric beats. There is a bit where there are spoken words behind the singing which has a great which has a great effect. This song makes you want to get up on stage and dance and sing with these guys! Its just great!!!

Stay awake starts with spooky acoustic guitar chords, the sound of the sliding fingers down the guitar sounds great. The piano chords follow the guitar which as a great sound. When you first hear the vocalist you immediately think WOW she has an mazing voice and as you listen on you realise just how good she is. There are electronic beats behind this which I don't normally like with this sort of song but here it works really well. Nothing really changes throughout the song but this just adds another spooky and dramatic level to the song. London Grammar are a really talented group!

Benjamin Twine is starts with George Ezra's distressed and croaky voice which you don't expect to be matched with his face but still he sounds great. This song is indie folk but feels very slightly reggae (you'll know what I mean if you listen to it). This is a simple song with a thin texture of only guitar, maraca shakes, finger snaps and a bass betas which I'm pretty sure is a double bass. This song is upbeat and makes you tap your head along to it! You should check out George Ezra's performance at the BBC introducing at Glastonbury HERE.
