#SongOfTheWeek: Ben Khan - Youth



There's nothing I love more than finding new artists and songs to listen to, it does mean hours of listening to pretty rubbish songs on Soundcloud and Spotify, but sometimes you find little gems. I heard Ben Khan's Savage on Soundcloud and really liked it, it didn't have me hitting the replay button but it had something about it. I didn't look into his profile any further after that, but now I wish I had!

There's a very handy little playlist on Spotify called Viral 50, it lists 50 songs that have been making the rounds on the old tinternet. Some are brand spanking new from shiny new musical artists, some are songs from adverts or viral videos. Playlists like these are amazing ways to find new music and it was on the Viral 50 UK playlist that I found this, I haven't stopped listening to it since.

I do love me some electronic music and this really captured the old ear drums, starting off nice and soft, relaxing you and making you feel all warm and fuzzy and then BAM! It gets you dancing and swaying in your seat. A really feel good tune for summer that makes you chilled out but also ready to bust some moves (in a chilled out, slow dancing sort of way). If you're a fan of the 1975 this might do it for you, it has a similar kind of feel to it, a slight 80's synth sound with an amazing back beat and strong vocals, love it!

What do you guys think? A fan? Or not really your style? Let me know what your favourite song has been this week by tweeting me @LilacGhosts1990 or use the hashtag #SongOfTheWeek

  1. Cool song! I don't really listen to this kind of stuff, but you're right - it really is chill at first, and then it gets you groovin. Definitely adding this to a playlist of mine!

    By the way, I created a tag called Closet Warfare and you've been tagged! You can find out more here.

    Best wishes,
