Since it is the first month of the new year and we all love music, I decided to put together a list of 5 songs that have been my go-to for many different reasons so far !

1. Bellyache by Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish is the coolest artist I've seen in a while, at only 16 years old. She has such a unique style and her voice is magical. Billie's music can be heard in the popular Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. She is signed to Interscope records and her EP don't smile at me is to die for!

2. Lay It On Me by Vance Joy

Singer of the popular song Riptide, Vance Joy, knows how to pull at the heart strings. I am huge fan of this Australian singer-songwriter. Lay It On Me makes me feel like going on a road trip with the windows down, with the love of my life. This is one of those tunes that make me feel warm and my heart full. What's better than that?

3. Jungle by Tash Sultana

Here's another Aussie singer-songwriter to add to this list. Tash Sultana is one of the most talented singers and multi-intstrumentalist I have seen in a long time. She has so much soul whenever she performs, which is why I had to include a live version of her performing my favorite song off of her EP Notion. It's almost as if she is making love to the music, but I mean I can hear why. THAT GUITAR IS EVERYTHING! Tash is definitely someone who makes my days better, I can't wait to see her live at Hangout Fest.

4. Notion by Tash Sultana

I had to add another one because I am just that much of a fan of her music. This is another live video and one of my favorites at that. I think it's magical how the guy across the street watches her in a state of awe and then as the last bus passes he's just gone. He didn't record her once, but I'm sure he will always remember her.

5. Get You (ft. Kali Uchis) by Daniel Caesar

Canadian R&B and soul singer-songwriter Daniel Caesar makes some of the smoothest R&B that I've heard in a long time. He truly has a beautiful voice. Get You is my favorite song by him. This tune makes me want a glass of wine and nice warm bubble bath.

I know some of these songs aren't for everyone, but these songs are at the top of my list this year even though they are from 2017. Some things are just meant to stick around ;)
