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 11th November 2024 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/batch549

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.

A cut above
Well noones perfect love
And right now you’re doing all our heads in
So before this leaving feeling sets in
And we are sentenced 
What’s the lesson?

any kind 
any kind of luck would do today
any kind
any kind of look you'd send my way
my beating heart looks like its got some much to say
any kind of luck
would do today

It was broken before we started
Doomed Bespoke the family parted
bing bags full of broken promises
and now the leaving feeling has set in
and we are blessed with 
the mix message

any kind 
any kind of luck would do today
any kind
any kind of look you'd send my way
my beating heart looks like its got some much to say

and if you’re looking for a stranger baby
well i do well on my own
but its getting pretty dark and we’re worlds apart
so i guess ill get walking home!

any kind 
any kind of luck would do today
any kind
any kind of look you'd send my way
your bitten tongue looks like its got so much to say
any kind of luck

A Story That You Tell

Earlier this year we got into the studio with the virtuosic Otis Lumumba Tabasenge, Congolese guitarist extraordinaire for Kasai Masai and international superstar Kanda Bongo Man. 

Otis’s playing is nothing short of inspirational, and we loved it so much this track turned into a raucous, joyous five and a half minute ode to the music we love.

Funny Old World is a song for anyone trying to make sense of a loss in their life. Or, equally, anyone struggling to come to terms with events thousands of miles away, that nonetheless affect us all. A song for all those who feel alienated by the partisan politics that seems to have become the global standard.

Because however bleak it sometimes feels, the world keeps turning. And we need messages of joy and positivity more than ever.

Funny Old World feat. Otis Lumumba
