Ellie + Tinie

Hanging On begins in a subdued atmosphere with the soft plucking of a harp audible beneath Ellie's enchanting soprano voice. I love the use of a harp. As the lyrics enter, the production slowly increases in dynamic and becomes thicker, progressing into soft dubstep. Tinie Tempah interrupts the captivating vocal with his usual high energy rapping, attacking the beat laid before him which gives a great contrast within the track. The constantly moving pitch of the vocal is reminiscent of The Weeknd but this is shunned by the ever changing range in production, as it grows and diminishes. It's just a really well produced track okay.

Sun Biz Sessions

Sun Biz Sessions have hosted many of my favourite acoustic performances from artists i can't get enough of. Acoustic covers being my preffered music choice, i just love the concept; the setting with subdued lighting along with no traces of electronic instruments allowing the music to do the talking and rightly so.

   

Ed Sheeran covers Skinny Love by Bon Iver

I love Ed Sheeran. This cover is just perfect. I love the timid yet expressive 'oh' to set the mood of the song and his imperfect endings of notes within verses really creates the most gorgeous atmosphere. However, crescndoing into the chorus, Ed really brings out his beautiful tone along with the strumming of the guitar. Bellisimo.

Ellie Goulding covers Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap

This has been on repeat for the last five days. Ellie Goulding has created a beautiful cover of Sweet Dispostion by the Temper Trap showing the gorgeous harmony and simplicity of a guitar and piano. I love the tone within Ellie's voice and the raw quality it brings when singing with expression.

I shall leave, revelling in the immenseness.
