Imminence – A Mark On My Soul

Imminence are a Swedish band I started to listen to this year and had the chance to meet the guys in the band who are really lovely people. They’re taking a new direction with their new songs which totally gets me.

Jessie J – Bang Bang

During the writing process of our upcoming album our producer suggested me to give a closer listen to Jessie J’s discography. I actually found out I really like her works and she’s a really talented musician.

Katy Perry – By The Grace Of God

Together with Jessie J, our producer suggested me Katy Perry, which actually I was already quite into since…forever.
I just didn’t pay much attention to her album “Prism” and I listened to it in a more attentive way not long ago. This one is definitely my favorite track of the album. So deep.

Hans Zimmer – Time

I’m a big fan of soundtracks so this year I’ve been to see one of his shows of the last tour he made. I remember crying like a baby for this last song he played with the whole orchestra. I made a video of it with my phone but since then I can’t watch it anymore otherwise I go back to cry! Felt really strong emotions, I will never forget that.

Normandie – Believe

They’re a new revelation of this year, easy to get into their sound, they’re perfectly following the trend.

Tonight Alive – Human Interaction

I remember listening to this song when feeling completely alone and numb. I could perfectly relate with the lyrics back then.

Daughter – Smother

A band I’ve been suggested to listen to a few time ago. Once more I could relate with the lyrics so was easy to fall for their albums.

Bring Me The Horizon – True Friends

I remember listening to this song for the first time during one of our UK tours, I was carrying a lot of angst with me back then and this song could represent it quite well.

Against The Current – Wasteland

A band who boomed with their last album, this song in my opinion is the best track off it. It’s quite original and really catchy.

Halsey – Drive

She’s another recent revelation and I’ve really enjoyed her album. This one’s my favorite track.

Seafret – Oceans

I’m digging them these days, I’ve been listening over and over to their album and I find that this song is really great.

PVRIS – Empty

A few monthts ago after a fight I had, I really couldn’t sleep and I left home at 4am starting to drive around in my car listening to this song and feeling completely empty. This has been the soundtrack of a bad moment in my life.

A Day To Remember – I Remember

Most heartfelt song off their album “Common Courtesy” in my opinion and a track I really enjoyed.
