Seven Psychopaths

I wouldn't normally do a film review but I went to see Seven Psychopaths last night and it was actually really good.
I had no idea what it was about even after seeing the trailer for it and I wasn't particularly bothered about seeing but seeing as Life of Pi isn't out yet, me and the bf went to Seven Psychopaths.

It's a funny and cleverly written film, by a Brit too which is always nice. The story basically follows a struggling screen writer (Colin Farrell) as he gets caught up in the gang world of America when his friend dognap's a gangsta's pooch.

It's something different and really funny and it works, not at all like your typical shoot out gang world film.

Plus Colin Farrell looks hot.
See the trailer below.

Connor Maynard

About a month ago I went to see Connor Maynard in Newcastle (see my review here) and ever since I've been a little bit hooked on the Brit kid. 

The now 20-year-old has had a busy year with winning MTV’s Brand New for 2012 award, releasing his debut album and had his first headline tour.


I have had his album 'Contrast' on repeat and think I might be a little bit in love. He has an old school Justin Timberlake style and as for him being anything like Bieber, forget it. The boy for Brighton is miles better. My favorite song on the album is probably 'Another one' because he says 'peel me bana-na-na'. Cheeky!

Nicki Minaj - The Re-up

So if you know me then you will be fully aware I'm a Nicki Minaj fan. I think she's a genius. When her album, Roman Reloaded came out this earlier this year in April, I was slightly disappointed. There was the usual mix of good flows and dance songs but nothing really stood out, although Va Va Voom is one of my favorites she has ever done.

Nicki recently re-released the album with an extra 8 songs and I'm so happy she did.

With the 'Re-up' Nicki goes back to her roots with the kind of raps that actually have a meaning behind them.
In general I think the quality of the songs on Re-up is amazing compared to the original album. It feels like a lot of time and effort went into the lyrics and the tracks behind them and it all comes together beautifully.

I'm really impressed with this album relaunch and I hope that Nicki stays with this theme instead of the whole 'Stupid Hoe' thing. The stand out track for me has to be 'Freedom' which has a real sincere feel to it and I can see 'I'm legit' being played loudly when I'm getting ready for a night out, even if she does say she has a famous anus.

The return of The xx

First of all sorry for the lack of posts but I've been in America all summer. Secondly, I am beyond excited because this morning on the way to work I heard some new material from my favorite band. Yes ladies and gentlemen after 3 years The xx are back with a new album.
I've heard 2 tracks from the new album which is titled 'Coexist' and due for UK release on the 10th of September and I still love them as much as I ever did.



Their music is so beautiful and articulate that they manage to make you understand ever note and ever line in the songs. They are so indie isn't unreal but I'm in love with them so I don't care.

In my opinion they are the perfect band for whatever mood you are in. The xx have a sound which is so chilled and cool it's sort of hypnotic.


Chained


Angels
I have 'Angels' on repeat and literally can't get enough.
The xx will be performing at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on September 10, The Coal Exchange in Cardiff on September 11 and Edinburgh's Usher Hall on September 12. They will also play Bestival on the Isle of Wight on September 7 so go see them live!

3546 miles



This is going to be my last post for a couple of months as tomorrow morning I'm flying to Washington to work at a summer camp. I will be 3546 miles away from everyone I love and even though I'm sad to be leaving everyone I can't wait to get to America! 


My last night at university was hilarious. I went for a meal with my boyfriends family for his mum's birthday and we went in a pink hummer limo! We were drinking champagne all night and it was the perfect way to say bye to my gorgeous boy for a while.






The night I got back home I went out for a meal with my family where the chips were massive! Look at the size of those things! I managed one! I single chip.






I hope everyone has had a lovely jubilee weekend and that summer is beautiful. I will speak to you all soon! Take care!
