Every other week, Staff Reporter Jillian Morabito showcases some of the tunes you should be tuning in to. Here are her picks for your new Must Listen Playlist:

"Shine" by Wild Belle

The easy, bluesy style of the Wild Belles is one not be missed and “Shine” is a particular highlight of their new CD, “Isles.” This track is about the dynamic that occurs in most relationships after they have ended-- simply put, you want to show off your newest catch. The duo is from Chicago and has been in festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza.  

"Bloom" by the Paper Kites 

Oppositely from the previous recommendation, “Bloom” is one of the most sincere indie love songs in recent memories. “Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness/And you fill my head with you” is one such line that makes you sympathize for the guy.  The Paper Kites are from Australia with two released EPs and a full length album rumored to be in the works.  

"Walking on a Dream" by the Empire of the Sun

Similar to Passion Pit and MGMT, this electro-infused alternative band is yet another Australian indie band. This song, although released a few years ago, went gold in the US and double platinum in Australia. “Walking on a Dream” is just one of the many fun songs that are perfect for a party or a fun drive.  

"Darling Are You Gonna Leave Me" by London Grammar 

As featured in BIRP’s latest playlist, London Grammar is a new British band that just released their EP and their full length album is due out in June. “Darling Are You Gonna Leave Me” infuses elements of dance, alternative and 80s electro. Just as a warning, they’re not available for purchase on the American iTunes store. 

"A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke 

For this week’s throwback, I’ve decided to highlight what should be an absolute essential tune in everyone’s collection. The innocent vocals by Sam Cooke, combined with the soul music and heartfelt lyrics combine to create pure brilliance. Rolling Stone raves that the track is one of the greatest of all-time, as highlighted on their list. The song seems to have skipped the current generation, but deserves to be brought back.
