Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 15th April: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch525

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance.

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

NA KUPALA

“Promises” is a gentle, heartfelt piano piece dedicated to loved ones who are no longer with us. The contemplative yet hopeful melody is inspired by the promises made in their memory. The song features soft, intimate, felt piano tones creating an air of peaceful reflection.

Promises

Can't Get Close

With a backdrop provided by producer and Grammy-nominated engineer Likkle Jay (Ling Hussle, Stormzy, and Chris Brown) "Let Me Explain" marks a triumphant exhibition of AKS' signature lyricism, showcasing his sharp wit and unique perspective as a staple within the evolving British Hip-Hop landscape.

With the London native having garnered a recent boost in popularity online following impromptu Open Verse challenges on Instagram & TikTok, this single emerges as a welcome extension of AKS’ winning entry in Wordplay Magazine's prestigious #Novembars competition, a testament to his exceptional talent and ability to captivate audiences with his words. 

Offering listeners a further glimpse into his motivations as an artist, the thought provoking and intrepid lyrics emphasise that for him authenticity reigns supreme and individuality is to be celebrated. Through his raw and unfiltered delivery, AKS invites audiences to join him on a journey of self-discovery and artistic expression.

Let Me Explain (Wordplay Freestyle)

The song is based on a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, the husband of Mary Shelly, who wrote Frankenstein. The theme is the transience of power, a topic that is also very relevant today.  Accompanied by acoustic guitars and the sound of a mandolin, the song has a folky mood.
