I find most mornings I wake up to an alarm clock an absolute struggle. Possibly because I have woken up against my own. Unfortunately on these mornings I do not have the pleasure or the luxury of a sleep in. Nor do I leave myself enough time in the mornings to hit the snooze button for that extra few minute sleep in (#godsend). I must be up, at’em and ready to start my day!
However even after a
healthy breakfast and consuming the strongest possible coffee I could ever
make; I still feel like resident zombie in zombie land (population: 1) and
forever plagued in this state of tiredness.
I have since discovered
the only remedy to this state of dreariness is playing some kickass, positive,
upbeat morning music get ups to set the ‘rude (aka the ‘attitude’) for the
day. Obviously you don’t want to be in a shit one, so I thought I would share
with you my top five for April (in no particular order):
1. Duke Dumont, ‘I
got u’
This song is like an instant glitter boner of happiness. It makes me think of all things positive: sunshine, warmth, holiday and happiness. You will definitely catch me dancing in the street listening to this beat.

2. Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne, ‘Rather Be’
I cannot find fault in this song. It is pure blissfulness! I find myself happily daydreaming of dancing at a roller disco and singing this song to complete strangers on the street.

3. Pharrell Williams ft. Miley Cyrus, ‘Come get it Bae’
Before you diss poor Miley, this funk tune is absolutely, intoxicatingly amazing! Pharrell is killin’ it with his new album 'GIRL'! You’ll be too busy dancing to the playful beat to notice Miley’s vocals.

4. Bruno Mars, ‘Treasure’
I’m not quite sure what Bruno Mars means by “baby
squirrel is a sexy motherf*cker” but every time I hear this tune, I picture
myself in a fantastic, elaborate Glee song and dance style
performance around their school grounds. Magic!
5. Bruno Mars, ‘Locked out of Heaven’
If there’s one thing I love about this song it is the amazing use of retro beats, Mark Ronson the producer of this song (and my future Jewish husband) is well known for.

*PS: This song is totally
dedicated to me. Mark Ronson just doesn’t know that yet
6. Beyoncé, ‘Flawless’
Somehow I find this song stuck in my head every morning. It could have something to do with the line ‘I woke up like this’ repeated over and over again. This tune is so infectious and Beyoncé asserts so much incredible feminist power in this song, it’s hard to not embrace it. So don’t fight it, ladies. Embrace the power!
