Ooh…this is niiice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

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 27th October 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/batch587

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

Deep Dark Blue is a love letter to Lisbon and the lyrics are inspired by Lord Byron's poem "Childe Harold." It centres around the idea of nature enduring all, sometimes even human connection, and acts as a backdrop for Carson's delicate ability to balance instrumentation creating a lavish sonic tapestry that ebbs and flows like the Tagus on a pebble strewn Lisbon beach.



This track features vocals and lyrics by Portuguese aritst Daniela Galhoz



Deep Dark Blue is a stand alone single and will be released on all streaming platforms (except Spotify, because Daniel Ek shouldn't be taking all our money and investing it in AI bombs) on November 4th.



Live tour dates to support the release:



21/11/25 - Norwich - The Holloway

22/11/25 - London - The Finsbury

The song revolves around themes of liberation, confidence, and the joy of living in the moment. The narrator is experiencing a chaotic week filled with work pressures but looks forward to unwinding at a party with friends. The repeated sentiment of wanting to let loose, expressed in phrases like “I feel magic” and “They can’t stand to see you flying,” suggests a longing for freedom and the thrill of escaping everyday life.

Key lyrics such as “I love when you are trying, that's why I love you” highlight the appreciation for someone who is genuinely making an effort, be it in love or friendship. The contrast between the mundane responsibilities of work and the vibrant escapism offered by the party scene underscores a common struggle between duty and personal happiness.

Ultimately, the song captures the exhilaration of seizing the moment, sprinkled with camaraderie and self-empowerment. It's a celebration of individuality and the desire to rise above the noise of everyday life, inviting listeners to embrace their own light and not be afraid to "fly."
