2015 Brit Awards!

Every year I look forward to the Brit Awards because they are one of my favourite nights of the year and 2015's were no different. The evening was live from the o2 Arena in London and we saw a whole array of superb celebrities inside the building on our television screens. The wonderful Ant & Dec hosted the night for the first time in a staggering 14 years and they were absolutely amazing! Read on for my summary and review of the crazy ceremony...

The performances this year were amazing and quite unforgettable. Taylor Swift flawlessly opened the show singing the brilliant Blank Space. Kanye made quite the impression and Ed Sheeran gave a beautiful performance of Bloodstream. Of course, the person everyone is talking about... Madonna. The Queen of pop herself returned to the Brits stage for the first time in 20 years and made quite the return. Despite the tragic tumble she persevered and very professionally carried on with the fantastic performance. She truly is a remarkable woman! Other impeccable and absolutely wonderful acts were the stunning Sam Smith, Paloma Faith, Royal Blood, George Ezra and Take That. 

All the winners were incredibly deserving and Sam Smith went away with the most adding more to his award collection! Below is the full list of winners:

British Group- Royal Blood

You can check out who I predicted would be bagging an award right here. It is defiantly worth a look! 

I think it is safe to say that British music is absolutely amazing right now and there are some very talented artists who we can look forward to hearing more from in 2015!

Ed Sheeran 'X' review

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have been extremely busy with exams and just life in general but I have decided to do a short review on Ed Sheeran's new album 'X' because it is amazing and I have been really enjoying it!
Recently the whole world has been ecstatic as Ed Sheeran's new album was finally released worldwide on June 23rd after years of waiting and desperation. Immediately the album became number 1 on top of the iTunes chart in more than 65 countries including the US, Australia and Germany. The album, pronounced 'multiply' features the number 1 single in the UK 'sing' which was written by Ed himself and Pharrell Williams and creates a different sound to his usual songs as it provides more of an upbeat tune. The album also includes other songs by the name of 'Don't', 'One' and 'Photograph' all with massive potential and a possibility of hitting the top spot in the future.
My favourite though has got to be the beautiful 'Thinking Out Loud' because I think the lyrics are so meaningful and the sound is just lovely. I hope this song is released as a single shortly because despite it not having a music video, it has already entered the charts and from today it is 29th! As well as this 'Don't' is in the charts at 22. I also particularly love how Ed has done more rap especially in the song 'Take It Back' because it shows the true depth of what he is capable off and shows off his enormous talent. 
All together 'X' is an incredible album and Ed has made such an improvement from his previous material on '+' (which I didn't know would be possible) and some how 'X' may even be better than '+' even though they are both truly magnificent! The songs on this album provide a different sound and it is brilliant for when you just want to relax which is great for over the summer. It is defiantly worth a listen if you have not already and I really cant wait to start seeing some more of his music videos!
