9. Weathered – Jack Garratt
Brit Awards’ 2016 Critics’ Choice winner Jack Garratt has had a brilliant year. I first heard Weathered on Clara Amfo’s show on BBC Radio One and fell in love. It’s unique sound and nostalgic feel is one I hadn’t heard a lot of lately, so this song really is special. Garratt’s unique creation process is also one to look into, it’s very interesting.
8. Regret – Everything Everything
7. The Hills – The Weeknd
6. Someone New – Hozier
5. Mountain At My Gates – Foals
4. Blue – Marina and the Diamonds
3. Hello – Adele
2. Ship To Wreck – Florence + the Machine
There’s a reason why this song is nominated for a Grammy, it’s because it’s just so darn good. Florence’s killer vocals shine in this upbeat and fluid song which entrances you from the first listen. The raw emotion heard can be tremendously moving if you’re not too busy shimmying away to the track, indicating a slight sophistication which is refreshing and unique to the ear.
1. King – Years & Years
Best of 2015: Television
2015, best of, Daredevil, downton abbey, http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, humans, Jessica Jones, modern family, supergirl, the muppets, the syndicate, unbreakable kimmy schmidt10. The Muppets Season 1
9. Modern Family Season 7
8. The Syndicate Series 3
7. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 1
6. Downton Abbey Season 6
5. Supergirl Season 1
When I first heard about Supergirl getting her very own TV series, I wasn’t too sure on how I felt. After watching the trailer I still wasn’t too sure, I decided to check out the first episode anyway, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So many superhero shows are dark and gritty that it’s nice to have something fun and colourful. It’s quickly become part of my weekly routine and a fond favourite for not only 2015, but superhero shows in general.
