Music Monday! Kirsten Evans

I have realized that I am reviewing music a lot therefore I think it will be a good idea to start a little series about music I've been listening to, subsequently creating Music Monday!


Well, this week I have been listening to the amazingly talented Kirsten Evans. Her time in the recording studio definitely pays off! I'm addicted to her Soundcloud! She writes a lot of her own stuff including Shadows, Special One and Bird. All of which are overly addictive.

When she was recording her first song, Bird. She was given the opportunity to have a video made for her. You can see a little of the footage on her Facebook page linked below. She hopes to have the full video out soon.

She deserves all the attention she gets from her amazing talent. It's unbelievable that a girl can sing like this! I would really appreciate it if you would all check her out as this weeks Music Monday star.

The Academic. New release!

Okay guys so as you know I have been following the band, The Academic. I am pleased to announce that they have not one... not two... But three original songs released on their Soundcloud now. If you haven't got the link it's below:

The song "Glassjaw" has such an addictive bass line. It's stuck in my head! The guys have done yet another amazing job. It's literally one of the only things I play on my Soundcloud.

The second release is "What are you waiting for?" It is another great song by the guys on the addictive Soundcloud album. and it is a bit more mellow than "Glassjaw" and it's also stuck in my head. The songs are to catchy guys!

If you haven't already, in which case get out from under that rock your hiding under, go and check them out! They deserve the views they get and I'm going to follow them straight to the top!

All my luck guys! Not that you need it...

Don't forget to follow me on here for more updates on these amazing guys!

Music that stimulates creativity!

If you are looking for advise to start being creative and living a creative life here is one of my main tips:

Music plays a large part in creativity. Creativity is a huge part of my life! From creating artwork to writing my book. So I rely hugely on the power of music to trigger certain emotions.

I find it almost amusing that music can bring you to tears and then back to laughter within minuets. To be honest I really wish I could sing. Alas, I can't. So, my advise. Harness this power of emotion that music can bring. It can stimulate creativity and, in turn, lighten your mood.

I use Spotify a lot. It gives me chance to choose music that really suits what I am going to write or draw. It definitely helps with writers block as well. I would suggest music that you could listen to but you really need to pick songs that you love and you think will help create mood swings. That sounds strange. Most the time you want to prevent them.

To conclude:

• Harness music
• Spend as long as you need choosing the right tracks
• Create mood swings (I suggest not to the point of creating arguments)
• Let your mind do the rest!

Good luck!
