"Royals"- Lorde

Song: Royals
Album: The Love Club EP
Singer: Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O'Connor (Lorde)
Genre: Indie Pop
Rating: ****

Again. this song took a while to grow on me, but when a song is number one for seven weeks, it is hard to ignore. 
Now I really like it. My friends at school have been singing it all day! (And yes- I love the song but I'm so glad I don't have all my classes with them!)



- This is the US video (no I don't get it much either)- the only one I have seen and the more popular one.There is also another one I haven't seen, but you can find it on You Tube if you're interested.

"Pompeii"- Bastille

Song: Pompeii
Album: Bad Blood
Band: Bastille
Genre: Alternative Rock/ Synth Pop/ Power Pop
Rating:*****

Just like the last song I posted about, I first heard this on MTV, and honestly- I hated it. It took about a month or so of hearing it on the radio and my friends playing it for me to want to listen to it. Now I love it, really, it is one of my favorite songs.
Whenever I listen to it I can't stop myself air-drumming!

  - The music video is a bit odd but it is very good.

I want to tell you about "All I Want" by A Day To Remember. 

I first heard it at 7:00am when I turned on the TV before school and it was on MTV. At first it kind of scared me. The verses are quite...shouty (if that is even a word). But when it got to the chorus really liked it.
