Writing these 'On Repeat' posts were always some of my favourites and I am thoroughly looking forward to getting back into posting them. I still continue to have a diverse taste in music from the well known to the completely unknown. So please enjoy the first (of many) 'On Repeat' posts of 2015...
Leighton Meester - Heartstrings
Most popularly known as her role as queen bee Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl; Leighton Meester has over the years dipped her toes into music. Featuring on Cobra Starship's 'Good Girls Go Bad' in 2009, Meester's introduction to the music world was somewhat underwhelming. With the release of her first album 'Heartstrings' towards the end of 2014, Leighton Meester has now embraced her own totally unique approach to music. 'Heartstrings' is the first single to be released from the album of the same name. Her singing career is a long way from being on the same scale as her acting one however if Leighton Meester continues to impress the legions fans she has acquired over the years with songs as perfectly perfect as this one she is bound to do extremely well.
Emmelie de Forest - Drunk Tonight
Winner of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013, Emmelie de Forest has a solid following of fans. 'Drunk Tonight' is the second single from the stars second, as yet untitled, album due for release early 2015. If her debut album, featuring songs such as 'Only Teardrops', is anything to go by I am sure to be impressed by the music this incredible voice is to release. There is nothing cheesy or uncomfortable about Emmelie de Forest or her music outings as we are often to expect from Eurovision winners.
Jessie Ware - You & I (Forever)
Jessie Ware continues to release not only beautifully written songs and albums but each single never fails to impress on the music video front. The video opens with the statement by Ware "'You & I Forever' is celebrating the person you love being by your side" I can unashamedly admit that I am such a romantic which is why I am so into not only this track but the entirety of Jessie Ware's album 'Tough Love'. Well worth a listen.
