WE ALL DIE TRYING TO GET IT RIGHT by VANCE JOY
This song has everything that I love about Australian hottie Vance Joy: the emotions in his voice, the simple yet haunting and amazing production, the relatable lyrics etc... I love everything about this song. It's so beautiful.
PREFACE by FKA TWIGS
I'm pretty sure that angels have sex to this song or any FKA song for that matter. My favorite thing about Preface is that is stunningly sets the mood for LP1.
STAY WITH ME by SAM SMITH
One of the best writing songs of the year is also one of the best sung songs of the year. The lyrics are so damn relatable that it's almost scary. And the chorus, my God, when it comes, it literally sends an electric shock deep down your soul. Stay With Me would send any artist to superstardom and I'm glad it did that for Sam Smith.
ANACONDA by NICKI MINAJ
Unlike most ATRLers, I immediately fell in love with this song and it quickly became one of my favorite songs this summer and one of my go-to workout songs.
