Another folk song entered the chart this week! This one is ‘Belong Together’ from New York musician Mark Ambor, and I think it’s one of my favourites from the recent folk revival in the charts.

 

Up 40 places to a new peak of #54!

This is seriously good, I've been hooked since hearing it on the chart yesterday. It's giving me 2014 vibes, taking me right back to The Vamps' first album, perfect for the weather starting to improve. (definitely feels more pop than indie, albeit I'm not sure how representative Belong Together is of his other material)

Bit of a change up in sound for Shawn Mendes!

:frankie:

 

This guy wishes he sounded as good as Shawn x

Great to see this at #11 now, hopefully it can make it to the Top 10 next week...

 

'I Hope It All Works Out' is probably the best I've heard from him though, it even has a guitar solo :cheeseblock:

Yeah this sounds way more The Vamps than folk!

It's certainly on the poppier side of folk, but it's definitely a folk tune. It'll be interesting to see what his next single sounds like anyway, hopefully more Americana-ish like 'I Hope It All Works Out'.

Am quite enjoying this too!
