Duration: 3 min 14 s
Description: “Brave Face” delves into the emotional tightrope of projecting strength while grappling with personal struggles. Through heartfelt lyrics like “I’m half my scars and half my pain” and “I tell the world I’m good and act like everything’s okay,” Alex candidly reflects on the masks we wear to navigate life’s challenges.

Oh my! This has me in tears right now! It is absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing these thoughts in a song

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 24th February 2025: 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/batch560

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape 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.

Gathering Wood is the 2nd section of my settings of poems by Philip Larkin, for soprano, soprano saxophone, viola and cello.

IN THE WHITE HOURS ii Gathering Wood

Imagining what is would be like to sit in a room as a child with one of the masters of the early electronic days. watching as they turn knobs and dials to get sounds, and passing the passion of music down to the next generation.

Born in London, UK, and later spending seven of her formative years in St. Lucia, Alex Cambridge is a singer-songwriter shaped by the Folk and Country music of her youth. Her music is rooted in honest and vulnerable storytelling, resonating with listeners as if they too have lived through every detail.

Blending raw emotion with evocative lyricism, she draws listeners into her self-proclaimed "strange world," where shared experiences create a sense of connection. Her latest single, Brave Face, showcases her evolving sound, following the release of Rupture. It marks the second of four singles leading up to her debut EP, set for release in 2025.
