My Top 5 Songs of the moment

With the release of so many amazing songs in the last few months, here are a few I can't stop listening to: 

1.  Avicii- Last Dance
After the success of 'levels', I thought nothing could top Avicii's hit. But 'Last Dance' delivers in so many aspects. It is addictive from the first few seconds and has a thrilling build up that rewards the listener with thumping bass, elements of classic dance and some pretty contagious whistling. Definately a fist-pumper. 
 
2. The Other Tribe- Skirts
If any band could encapsulate the word 'festival' its these. They are a brand new Indie band from Bristol that have sounds reminiscent of MGMT. Their combination of a dance beat with an infectious xyolophone makes you want to put feathers in your hair, paint streaks across your face and don those short shorts. Its a tune that makes you wish it was summer again. 
3. Owl City feat Carly Rae Jepson- Good Time
This is the perfect feel-good song! I love what Carly Rae Jepson has delivered so far and this song will have you jumping off your seat. Its a pop hit full of pretty, smiling faces- I love its innocence and Owl City's computer-enhanced voice. 

4. Redlight- Lost in your love
For anyone wanting some classic dance music in their life, Redlight have hit the nail on the head. 'Lost in your love' has a build-up ready to burst, and the thumping beat makes it a club banger to say the least. The video is exciting, with the flashes of amazing colour and Redlight really encapsulate what 90's dance was all about.
5. Calvin Harris- Sweet Nothing feat Florence Welch
Despite my hatred for Florence Welch, this song is too good not to mention. Calvin Harris is a genius, and he uses Welch's voice to contrast the pulsing beat and truly infectious dance elements to the song. Also worth noting is the well acted video that goes along with the single- it is just a pity the subject of the video isn't as cheery as the song itself!
