A great song a day keeps the doctor away! Maybe that isn’t the way the exact saying goes, but I believe it’s just as true.

Music is my life. If I could permanently sew my headphones into my ears and have music playing all day, I would. My taste varies from pop to indie rock to rap to electronica and even soul. One of my favourite things to do is discover new music. Recently, I discovered five songs that I am really enjoying. Open your ears and check out my latest finds!

“Deadroses” by Blackbear

We had a vision though; now we’re dead roses

After discovering Blackbear’s music through YouTuber Andrea Russett’s Snapchat story, I fell in love with his incredible lyrics and voice. Mat Musto, who performs under the name Blackbear, just released his debut album ‘Deadroses’ and after giving the album its first spin, I was quickly attracted to the unique imagery in this song. On “Deadroses”, Blackbear compares the idea of dead roses to his deteriorating relationship with a girl. After listening to this song, I am tempted to send Blackbear a few nice roses – of the alive variety.
