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 21st March: 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/batch441

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 441

Til You’re Blue (EP)

Amy Fitz Doyley is back releasing brand-new music on International Women's Day 2022, with her third single release, Eye Of The Needle. 

With deep, heartfelt music produced by Stew Jackson (Massive Attack), drenched in emotion and heavy guitars, this track takes her completely out of her comfort zone. 

The song plays on the light and dark of our universe, and her vocals are guaranteed to put you in a spell!

LYRICS
Cracked skin within black ice
Stoney eyes he's a killer done it twice
Rope round my throat
Bodies on the floor
Pale skin dressed up for war

Gaps in my mind bring me back to you
Empty shell stark reality

There's no light and no love
No end

Times may change you gotta free your mind
A needle through my eye just to clear the skies
Broken bones dusty meadow
Carpet burns we've lost the battle

Open your eyes you gotta get with it
Blinded by faith you gotta move quick
Kick to the heart
You know you've fallen

There's no light and no love
No end

Emma Johnson's Gravy Boat - Worry Not Live At Northern Monk Refectory [Good Boy Live Sessions]

Loose Articles - Chaos

Written and performed by Sharon Lazibyrd, recorded live in my kitchen with a violin overdub. A song with non English words, a task I set for Sunday Songwriting. Commentary on where we are today. When I see the world, I think, what is this? 

In our world what's going on
Tear gas on the streets
Leaders who are lying to us
Intimidation feats

Quand je vue le monde
Quand je vue le monde
Je pense
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

What will be the new normal
Is this pride before a fall
Are we driven to test our sight
To find out what's wrong from right

In our world what's going wrong
Fake news and trite tweets
Crisis and mismanagement
Nationalism heats

What will be our rally call
Are our eyes right off the ball
Can we unite what us divides
Stem the fears we keep inside

Quand je vue le monde
Quand je vue le monde
Je pense
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

Quand Je Vue Le Monde
