Welcome to this week’s blog from the Hollyoaks music department.
This week’s musical highlights on Hollyoaks include:
‘Forever and Ever Amen’ by The Drums – This poppy, melodic track from the harmonious Americans was used with scenes of Mercedes and Riley celebrating their recent engagement as Carl watches on. The lyrics describe a romantic and innocent everlasting belief in love, which proved particularly ironic when used over images of this sordid love triangle.
‘Do it Like A Dude(Hygrade Club Remix) ’ by Jessie J – This rather filthy remix of the popular track by Miss J, provided a cracking soundtrack to Mitzee’s glamorisation before she meets Warren and the sinister Silas preying on Texas. Jessie J is set to be No.1 in the charts this Sunday with her next single ‘Price Tag.’ It’s one of the first tracks to be included in a new system to release songs to radio/tv in the same week as they are released to the public, meaning you don’t have to wait weeks to get hold of new singles. An interesting new step by the big bods of the music industry.
‘The World Is Ours’ by Glasvegas - This is the first single from the epic Glaswegians forthcoming 2nd album ‘Euphoric///Heartbreak\\\, which will be released on 4th April. A typically atmospheric, dramatic and big-sounding track which was used to good effect to score the scenes of a conniving Silas leading a drunken Texas off into the dark. Worrying.
On Our Stereo:
‘Shake me down’ by Cage The Elephant - Jagged, Off Kilter, and sounds a bit like the Pixies when it kicks in. Enjoy.

''Live in Dreams” by Wild Nothing - Dreamy. Ragged. Calming. Sounds a bit like a warm duvet when it kicks in. Enjoy.

More musical goodies await on next week’s episodes of Hollyoaks so until then…
