Whistling loudly under the stars

Listening to: Radio 1

Another music post! This time I'm gonna focus on electronic pop. I'm currently loving Ellie Goulding. She's 23, from London, and she recently topped the BBC's Sound of 2010. Why does that matter? Well have a look at the past nominees - I'd say she's in good company. She's also just won the Critics' Choice award at the Brits. Her first single Under the Sheets was great, but I'm loving Starry Eyed even more...


Next up is Example. According to Wikipedia he's been around for a while, but I've only just discovered him. I've heard one other song of his that I wasn't that impressed by, but this one is a definite 'night out' tune...woo!


And to finish it off, 3OH!3. Their debut single Don't Trust Me was good, but this new one with Katy Perry is ace, for two reasons. First? Well it's a good song. But second, and most important...it's the reason I can now whistle! Yeah I've never been able to whistle. I do everything right and just end up making a fool of myself. But no more! I was happily singing along a few days ago and suddenly realised I was actually getting the whistles properly! Ah so happy.


So yeah, three tracks I'm really liking at the moment. I have a feeling the next genre I cover is gonna be folk. Stay tuned.

P.S.- Sorry about the title :P
