17 October Songs We Cant Get Out Of Our Heads, But We Totally Don't Mind

    "If it was 2006, this song would definitely be soundtracking a teen movie."

    Hey everyone, I'm Sepi, and I'm your resident nosy "musichead" at BuzzFeed UK!

    I'm always curious as to what music people are currently obsessed with. With so many great songs and albums out recently, I poked a few of my fellow colleagues to see what they've been playing non stop this month. Here's what they said:

    1. Taylor Swift – "Anti-Hero"

    "It's super catchy and really quirky. I love the chilled pop sound it has, and the music video is really fun too!"

    2. Devin Morrison – "Santa Rosalia"

    "This is one of my additions! Devin's new album Dream Lobby Vol. IV has such nighttime drive vibe to me. This track has a real beat though, which I constantly find myself bopping my head to. His sound always feels like it has a touch of nostalgia to it, and I always feel comforted by his music."

    3. Loyle Carner – "Hate"

    "Pure art." 

    – Joe Beckett

    "He always comes through with really strong tracks and meaningful lyrics. If you haven't listened to Loyle Carner before... this is your sign."

    "I'm a '00s pop punk fan through and through, and the fact that Tom DeLonge is back in the band is giving me a lot of nostalgia. If it was 2006, this song would definitely be soundtracking a teen movie."

    "Because I'm 36, I'm completely out of the loop of the latest tracks, but this is my rec!" 

    – Owen Smith

    "Okay, so technically this isn't suuuuper new. However, I'm letting Owen slide, because this song is super catchy and the music video is ace!"

    – sepidehzolfaghari

    7. Carly Rae Jepsen – "Talking To Yourself"

    "Never sleep on Carly Rae! She has some absolutely bops, and is SO much more than 'Call Me Maybe'. This new album is no exception. It has several great tracks, shout out to 'Surrender My Heart' and 'Beach House', but I think the stand out has to be 'Talking To Yourself'. It's just GOOD POP!"

    8. LE SSERAFIM (르세라핌) – "ANTIFRAGILE"
