Ellie Spy : The Blog: PEOPLE WHO MADE MY 2015 part1 : #MUSICIANS

Hello everybody! The first part of the series "People who made my 2015" is here and, of course, it's about my favorite musicians, the ones I discovered this year and those who released new stuff. If you want to see last year's post, click here.

FALL OUT BOY

It all started because of my obsession with Phil Lester actually. It is known that Dan and Phil, through BBC Radio 1, have been interviewing and interacting with them. So I found a Christmas video made by Phil for Radio 1 and the music playing on the background was "What's This", a song by the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, written and played by Fall Out Boy.
Then, straightaway, I downloaded their latest album 'American Beauty/ American Psycho' and listened to it on replay during the whole summer. Later in August, my best friend got me another album by them, called 'Save Rock And Roll' and my obsession got bigger and bigger as the days went by.
I adore this band for so many reasons. First of all, all the members are incredible musicians! I may be a little more obsessed with Patrick Stump, but how could I not!? For me, he is the greatest singer of our generation, his vocal skills are next level, his voice has a wide range, hitting really high notes and really low too! The power he gives to the songs is amazing and you can tell he is even better at live shows. The music they are playing is unique and by listening to a few chords, you can recognise it's them. Their lyrics are so meaningful and their passion about music gives a different atmosphere to their music.
My favorite FOB song is 'My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark'.

A band that I first listened to back in 2012. I think they were on MTV Push at some point and 'Holding On To You' was playing everywhere. It was this year, after the MTV VMAs that I started searching more about them. The performed 'Lane Boy' and 'HeavyDirtySoul' with ASAP Rocky and I said that I was definitely going to become obsessed with them.
Tyler and Josh are some of the most incredible musicians I've ever seen! Their genre is different from any other, they combine rock with rap, which makes something amazing and unique. The energy at their concerts is the best I've seen in a stadium, and I wish that I will feel it one day live, and not through youtube videos. Their lyrics are sad, beautiful, inspiring, heartbreaking, meaningful and relatable, whether all at the same time or not. Not only are they great artists, but also great human beings and their friendship is something I admire.
My favorite song is 'Car Radio' from the album 'Vessel' and it's in my top 5 with my favorite songs of all times. It means a lot to me and the lyrics speak to me more than any other song's. I highly recommend that you check it performed live by them by clicking here. I promise you won't regret it. No matter how you feel about life or how your mood is, they have a song for everything.

TROYE SIVAN

Personally, I believe that 2015 has been Troye's year. He released an amazing EP called 'Wild' in September, after a year of releasing 'TRXYE' and everyone was craving for some new songs by him. As this wasn't enough, he announced that he is going to release more songs before 2016 comes, and so he did! He released his first full-length album, called 'Blue Neighbourhood' and started touring in Australia, Europe and USA. He had his first tv appearance this month in The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where he played one of hit hits 'Youth'. More people discovered him and liked his music, something that makes me extremely proud and happy.
He started by starring in movies, joining talent shows from a young age, making a youtube channel and had fans everywhere around the world. His big dream has always been to be a singer and perform live. I feel like a proud mother who sees her child growing up and achieving his dreams. This is only the start and he is an artist who has to offer so many things to this world, through his music and character.
My favorite song is 'Too Good', although everyone who is a fan of him would agree that it is too hard to choose one favorite song because they are all so great! His voice is low and pure and, combined with the electro music, creates something magic and wonderful, that you enjoy to experience. 'Blue Neighbourhood' has characterized my 2015 more than any other thing.
