The 1975- The 1975 (Deluxe)

My last blog post is going to be about one of my favorite bands called The 1975. The band is a British rock group that has an indie style but also with some dance-floor sound. This album was released in 2013 and they are preparing to release a new album this year by putting out a new single called "Love Me" last week. Their 2013 album has a unique sound and the lead singer, Matt Healy, has a very distinctive voice.

The most popular song on the album is called "Chocolate." Although there has been some criticism from the song because it is hard to understand what the lyrics are, however, the beat is infectious and when listening it is easy to see why this song is popular. I have a few favorites on the album, but recently I can't stop listening to "Fallingforyou" and it is only on the deluxe version of the album. It is one of the slower songs but between the lyrics, tune and Matt's voice, the song is aesthetically pleasing. Their song "Girls" shows off their upbeat style with a Prince-influence. One last song to listen to is "Robbers." This song is one of the calmer ones and has dark/personal lyrics. The track list is below and the stared songs are the ones you should definitely listen to.
