When you load up Spotify, a great big chunk of the time you can’t think what to play, right? You default back to your old favourites, those albums and songs you played on repeat when you first discovered you could make them yours.
This isn’t about guilty pleasures; it’s about those songs you’ll still be listening to when you’re old and in your rocking chair. So, enter Teenage Kicks – a playlist series that sees bands running through the music they listened to in their formative years.
Next up, Jess from Coach Party.
Hannah Montana – Ordinary Girl
Right, so this might feel like a joke to some, but I couldn’t be more serious. I was a Disney Channel lover from as early as I can remember, which naturally went hand in hand with loving Hannah Montana. The show and her music (when I was probably around seven) made me absolutely fall in love with the idea of performing, singing, and writing songs. This show moulded my impressionable little brain in ways that turned me into the pop-loving girly I am today. NO REGRETS. Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, I love you forever.
Justin Bieber – Favorite Girl
Justin Bieber was my ride or die for years. When he first rose to fame, and people thought it was cool to hate him, I would defend him at school, family dinners, online… I was truly sick with the Bieber Fever. It’s not shocking that I’m still in love with JB!! His first album, 'My World', completely dominated my life for a good year—it was all I listened to. I got to see him at the O2 back in 2010, and I cannot remember a single thing from it. Let’s call it an infatuation blackout. That album is still a classic, and you can find me defending the Biebs in any situation.
