I like many other people would not have thought that we would've still been in lockdown by this point. It's been almost 2 months now since Britain went into quarantine and one thing that has kept me sane other than watching loads of tv and movies is listening to some of my favourite songs and discovering new favourites along the way. So today I thought I would share with you the best music that's out right now and mention some classics that have kept me together at this crazy time! First up anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed, literally obsessed with The 1975. I've been an avid fan since 2016 when their second album was released and I've seen them live twice at The O2 in London (I was so lucky that I got to see them this February before we went into lockdown) and both times they were just incredible!! It's not just the music that I love about them though, it's the image and the band's ethos as a whole. They will be releasing their new album called Notes On A Conditional Form on 22nd May, so very soon and I've been so excited every time they've released a single from the new album. My favourite like many others is If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know) which is a very up tempo eighties sounding track that instantly makes you feel so much better than you did before! Also their latest song that they've released called Guys is such a sweet slow paced song that Matty wrote as a love letter to his band mates and especially listening to it in quarantine it makes you feel even more emotional than it would normally. They are the best band not just of this new decade, but of the last decade and they have to be my favourite band ever. Big statement to make, but that's just honestly how I feel!
Next up is Dua Lipa's new album Future Nostalgia and omg this is such an amazing album! As soon as I heard Don't Start Now, the first single released from the album, I just knew that this was going to be such an iconic record because that song alone just encompasses the title as it sounds so new, yet it has that disco sound to it. Some of my favourite songs include Cool, Levitating, Physical & Hallucinate. I was actually going to see her this month until Corona virus cancelled everyone's plans however luckily she rescheduled the tour for January next year and I cannot wait to finally see her live!
Something else I've been listening to a lot is 80s music and I think it's because I know that when I listen to any music from that decade it will instantly lift my mood, which at this moment in time is something I need as some days are harder than others to live in during these times. One artist from that era I've been listening to a lot is Madonna. It's hard to pick a favourite era of Madonna's career, but I think you can't go wrong with her early records as they just have that feel good factor to them that makes you want to get up and dance. My favourite songs from the early days are Into The Groove, Dress You Up, Like a Virgin, Burning Up and of course Holiday!
I hope you liked my post on what I've been listening to recently. Let me know what music you've been listening to in the comments below.
Stay safe and see you soon

I feel like I haven't done a That's A Tune post in aaaaages, but today I'm back with another one and we are now on number 40 which is a bit crazy, but I still like posting about them so I'm not going to stop haha. Today's post is about another Culture Club song. I've been listening to a lot of 80s music and whenever I do that I seem to go on a Culture Club listening splurge. Their songs are just so great and George's voice is stunning! About six or so months ago I discovered a song by them that I never heard before called Move Away which I then found out was from their 4th album but I never listened to that one before. Personally I'm not keen on the other songs on the album but this one is amazing! It's catchy, it's got great lyrics and it just sounds very stereotypical late 80s which I love! It's just a song that makes you feel really happy and ready to go, it's probably a good song to put on first thing in the morning to wake you up too haha.
Take a listen and see what you think
I hope you liked this post. I'll see you with another one soon.

It's not often you find a song that you don't know by an artist that you love however this time I did. A few weeks ago I was watching RuPaul's Drag Race and when it got to the part where the contestants had to 'lipsync for their life' they had to do it to a Madonna song which I knew would happen as the theme for the catwalk was Madonna but I had no idea of the song that they were playing. I instantly loved it though and now I can't stop playing it! It's called Causing A Commotion and it was made for the soundtrack of one of the films she was in called Who's That Girl. I've never seen that film and too be honest it doesn't look that great really, but the song is amazing!! I'll leave it below so you can listen to it.
Let me know what you think of the song, oh and if you watched that weeks episode of Drag Race let me know if you agreed with the final decision of who went out or not, I'd love to get your thoughts.
See you soon
