The Neighbourhood, Marina and the Diamonds, and Little Mix are all artists worth knowing.
Lana Del Rey, a self-proclaimed “gangster Nancy Sinatra,” has a voice like velvet that will suck you into her world of “sugar daddies” and old Hollywood. Songs like “Young & Beautiful” have a haunting sound to them, that is hard to get out of your head. Lana Del Rey is an awesome lyricist that definitely knows how to twist dark topics into a beautiful nightmarish ballad. Lana Del Rey is for sure, someone you should know and listen to.
With catchy songs about narcissism and being a heartbreaker, Marina & the Diamonds is an artist worth listening to. Her last album, Electra Heart, which is about the around the life of her alter ego, did not get the credit it deserved. She writes all of her songs herself and her voice sounds like silk. Marina herself has a quirky personality that’s reflected into her music. I guarantee if you listen to one of her songs, you’ll find yourself singing it for the rest of the day.
The Neighbourhood is a Californian band that made it big last summer with their song “Sweater Weather.” They fall under the dark-pop alternative genre because songs like “Everybody’s Watching Me” have somewhat of a dark edge to them. The super hot lead singer, Jesse Rutherford, has a cool, unusual voice that mixes well with the chill rhythm of the songs. The Neighbourhood is likable by all and the songs are easy to listen to.
Finish Ticket is an alternative rock band from Alameda who haven’t made it big quite yet but they are well on their way. They have a really good stage presence and sound great live. They have an EP released called Tears You Apart that is available on iTunes. You should check them out and show your support for this local Bay Area band.
British girl group Little Mix is a awesome group with positive songs that you will run around your house singing on the top of your lungs. All of the members have voices to envy. Songs like “Wings” and “We Are Who We Are” preach about loving yourself and ignoring negativity. Their songs will make you want to strut around with your head up high.
Tears For Fears was a band that almost every person from the 80’s will remember. They had popular songs like “Shout” and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” Even though they aren’t like most bands today, you will probably take a liking to at least one of their songs.
