July Top 10...

Hey everyone,

If you hadn't noticed (I was very quiet about it) I turned 21 last week. For this very special birthday I hosted a festival themed barbecue for me and my friends, which meant I had to do one of my favourite tasks PLAYLIST MAKING! So I have been dabbling in some new music as well as some birthday favourites to bring you my top 10 Birthday and summer songs.

(Birthday surprises, I have the best friends)

1. Happy Birthday - Stevie Wonder

I couldn't have a birthday related post without this stand out hit. It gets everyone moving and sounds way better than the usual happy birthday.

2. Birthday - Kings of Leon

As a massive Kings of Leon fan I could not leave this off. I listen to this every year on my birthday and although it has a more mellow vibe to it, it still makes me want to 'gather round like its my birthday'.

3. It's My Birthday - Will.I.Am feat. Cody Wise

This is the ultimate birthday song in my opinion. It gets you in the mood to hit all of the clubs and blow all your cash.

4. Lean On - Major Lazor feat. MO and DJ Snake

I am obsessed with song and listen to it at least 3 times a day, which normally spells trouble but I cant see myself hating this song at all. It is something I could listen to while partying on a beach somewhere but I'll have to settle for my garden for now.

5. Cant Feel My Face - The Weeknd

The Weeknd's song normally are uber sultry and saucy, this however has a funkier sassier vibe to it making it perfect for summer. It has a beat that will be perfect to strut to as well sing in the middle of the night about your closest friends or that special someone.

6. Body Talk - Foxes

I AM IN LOVE WITH FOXES. There I said it. Everything about her is amazing, she has great style, an amazing voice, what more could you want? Oh a song for the summer? CHECK. Body Talk is such a summer anthem, I could imagine this being played while dancing around a camp fire on a beach in America.

7. Oh My Love - The Score

Now it may just be because this song is on a particularly summery advert on TV but I feel like this is almost as good as Best Day of my Life - American Authors from a few years back.

8. Whisky Story - Example

Not your typical summer song but this is going to be a massive club hit this summer, Example you sir have out done yourself.

9. If You Ever Want to Be In Love - James Bay

I am ridiculously in love with James Bay's voice and music and this song keeps the pep in my step no matter where I am (yes even if it is raining...) in my eyes that mean its a great summer hit.

10. No Church in the Wild - Kayne West

I have been listening to this non-stop for the past week and I know its going to be my shower/cleaning/going to the shops song. Basically it will be my summer song without even trying, well done Kanye.

(My festival themed outfit for my barbecue)

Thats my top 10 for this month, have you been listening that you feel is going to be a massive hit this summer? Let me know on Twitter or Instagram. Tune in to see my payday post coming this weekend.

Love Katie x
