Bad Dreams, Cleopatra

This is my first playlist and I so I pretty much have my whole iTunes from which to chose. I will, however, restrict myself only to songs that I have been obsessing over the past few weeks, whether old or new. I have a pretty varied taste in music however this was not always the case - I seriously used to have 2 separate iPods for two particular genres and feared ever combining the two - and since this very unique case of OCD, I have really tried to experiment with my music tastes and be open to new artists, genres and styles. My music loyalty definitely belongs to R&B (Hip-Hop, Rap, etc) but I also have a very dominant Rock side (Alternative, Indie, etc) so you can basically expect a whole range of beats to come blasting through your earphone at my suggestion!

Okay, excuse the extremely long introduction, you probably wondering what in heck the title is about. Well...

1. Frank Ocean - Pyramids
   
   This song is my absolute current addiction and I plan to completely drain this song before I fully explore the whole of his debut, Channel Orange. I have been pretty much in anticipation of this album since my discovery of his EP Nostalgia Ultra. Frank Ocean is the voice of soulful simplicity over a layered and somewhat complex and experimental track. Pyramids is the length of two songs but both halves transition into one another using a brief interval of what I imagine to be the sound clip of a sunset. The first half has an early 2000's dance vibe to it which subtly merges into a more chilled hip-hop tone and the cryptic lyrics modernise to a harsher reality. 
2. Theophilus London - Flying Overseas 
3. Bobby Bland -  Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City
4. Drake ft The Weeknd - Crew Love
5. Friends - I'm His Girl
6. Dan Auerbach - Heartbroke, In Disrepair
7. J. Cole - Can't Get Enough
8. Niki & The Dove - The Drummer
9. Lucy Rose - Lines
10. Plan B - Deepest Shame

Tied between the 3

Hypnotied is blog of the arts; film, photography and music. 

I have created various blogs in the past which linger around each of the three but its about time that the forces combined to create one blog that pretty much says it all. I will be featuring posts such as music playlists, film reviews and posting photography (some of which I hope to be my own and most of which will be fashion/beauty based) and everything that I can wrap my mind around in between. Please feel free to drop me any feedback or post suggestion's but for now grab a pair of headphones, pour a glass gingerbeer and enjoy.
