Taste Some Jams

So I follow this YouTuber. His name is Mitchell Davis. He has a segment on his channel called "Taste Some Jams". Basically, it's where he shows us some music that he's been listening to and really enjoying lately. I kinda thought it would be fun to do a "Taste Some Jams" things every once and a while because I really enjoy all kinds of music and thought that I'd share some music I've been enjoying a lot lately. (For the record, Mitchell Davis is incredibly hipster and half the music he posts I've never heard of in my life. You've probably heard of most of the stuff I'm gonna post.)


Album: +
Artist: Ed Sheeran
Genre: Singer/Songwriter
Don't mean to sound hipster or anything, but I discovered this dude before his duet with Taylor Swift that seemed to launch his fame. This is among my favourite albums probably ever. He has the voice of the angel and plus, he's a ginger and that adds some bonus points with me. I love that all his songs have a story behind them, a real meaning, which is a breath of fresh air from the total crap that's been famous lately. My favourite song on the album would probably have to be "Drunk". I know, I know... but it's totally catchy! Love this guy!

Album: The 20/20 Experience
Artist: Justin Timberlake
Genre: R&B/Hip-Hop
I have a special soft spot for JT. I don't normally like this kind of music, but I absolutely love JT. He makes extremely catchy music, he's a really good actor as well, and he's really pretty. I like that his music has lots of orchestral stuff added to it, which makes it different than other popular music. Honestly, when I found out that JT was making another album after about seven years of focusing on his acting and other stuff, I screamed. Like, literally. SCREAMED. I was beyond excited. The vote for my favourite song on the album is tied between two: "Mirrors" and "Spaceship Coupe". Both songs are incredibly catchy and even though Mirrors is played on the radio a lot, I could never get tired of it. 

Album: Enjoy Yourself
Artist: Billy Currington
Genre: Country
This particular album is about three years old already, but it's an album that is constantly on repeat in my car. The reason I love Billy Currington so much (especially this album) is because his music life motto is "just relax and enjoy yourself". Caution: this album will make you wanna lounge in the sun, drink a couple ice cold beers, and fish. (Even if you don't like fishing... or beer.) My favourite song on this album is "Bad Day of Fishin'". Incredibly catchy song.  


Album: One Cell in the Sea
Artist: A Fine Frenzy
Genre: Singer/Songwriter, Adult Alternative
This album is from 2008, but it's my favourite from A Fine Frenzy. She's got such a unique voice, I love it so much. Some would define her music as pretty weird, but it's weirdly awesome. My favourite song off the album is "The Minnow & the Trout". It's essentially a love song between two people that are really different, but their love for each other make them not-so-different. If you're into singer/songwriters who write interesting songs, you won't be disappointed with A Fine Frenzy. P.S. "Whisper" is really good as well! So pretty.  

Album: My Head is an Animal
Artist: Of Monsters and Men
Genre: Alternative, Rock
Apparently OMaM are more popular than I thought because I'm encountering more and more people that know about them. Their music is really catchy (notice a theme here, I like catchy music). Both the male voice and female voice are quite unique and both very pretty. My favourite song on the album is "Love Love Love", with "King and the Lionheart" as a close second. I love the song "Love Love Love" because I can very much relate to the lyrics, which is an important thing when it comes to music, for me. Catchy melody and relatable lyrics.


Album: Pioneer
Artist: The Band Perry
Genre: Country
The Band Perry is definitely in my top 5 favourite country artists. I was totally in love with their self-titled debut album, and once again, I'm totally in love with their second. Their lyrics are relatable and their music is awesome. The Perry family is good at what they do! My favourite song on this album is "Don't Let Me Be Lonely". I simply love this song because the lyrics speak to me in a way that not a lot of other songs do. When you're young, you can fly. But we trip on clouds 'cause we get too high. Then we grow up and it's gone. The lyrics are relatable to the stage of life I'm in right now.

So there it is. The first edition of "Taste Some Jams". Check some of this music out.
