{Soulful Sunday} Mumford & Sons

Is it wrong to be puzzled when you find out someone has actually never heard of Mumford & Sons? I hope not, because I was downright confounded upon such a discovery. As with my beloved Coldplay, there isn't a Mumford verse or refrain I can dismiss as mediocrity. The release of their latest album, Babel, was a long time coming and such a glorious occasion indeed. Truthfully, I will concede that though this music holds universal appeal in some aspect or another, not everyone is going to fall head over heels. However, I encourage you adamantly to give them a try! Listen to the words, too; these guys have stunning lyricism to spare.

Happy aspiring!

{Soulful Sunday} Coldplay

I have yet to meet a person who genuinely and legitimately does not care for Coldplay. Rest assured that if I ever do, that will not be the last such a creature sees of me. In fact, I subjected myself to the daunting and extremely rewarding task of listening to all of Coldplay's released albums and EPs and I couldn't even find a song I didn't like. To be fair, I'm not the most snobbish musical critic out there, but I do consider myself to have an adequate sense of taste and no experience with their material has left me feeling sour.

Due to my severe inability to say no to good things, this is a bit of a longer playlist. Do not despair! It won't be a second of your life wasted. Actually, why don't you just go listen to all of their music? Good plan. Enjoy.
