Truly beautiful - my favourite on the album, congratulations!

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 18th November: from around midday on Friday 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/batch345

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 SoundCloud Go tracks, which can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which will be invisible to everyone. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted will also be removed.

#BenzoBelle #EMPRESS👑

'Benzo Belle' is the official single from the 'EMPRESS Album'. OUT NOW at:  https://ffm.to/empress

Roll up, roll up - the circus has come to town and invite you into their weird and wonderful world! Calista plays ringmistress to tell the story of our heroine, 'Benzo Belle' and the circus her life has become. Depreciated in a loveless marriage, a monotonous carousel existence, delusional and exhausted, self-medicating to numb the pain. Will she escape this Stepford Wife life prison and live out her fantasies to run away with the circus?...

Lyrics:

*Ooh, nice day!*

I can be anything for you baby, I can bake lots of cake with a smile.
We can make 40 babies, any way you want us to.
Let me put my best frock on, 
Let me fix my lipstick.

Robot lover, Benzo Belle, lacklustre, lifeless, vacuum shell.
Oh well…

I can be anything for you baby, I can lie legs out wide with a smile.
Tell me your fantasy, mine doesn’t matter baby, this is all about you.
‘Cause what would I be, I’d die, my world stops —- without you.
Wait first let me pop a pill,
Insert without feeling.
            
Robot lover, Benzo Belle, lacklustre, lifeless, vacuum shell… 

I hate you.
Well, if I felt anything I’m sure that I’d hate you,
I’d squash you.
Payback for all of the squashing and all of the rolling,
And grunting and huffing and puffing,
And gnawing and scratching and boredom, 
And all of your games, I don’t find them funny,
And words all those mean words, 
And lies all those sweet little lies,
And looks those looks of hate,
Oh this is tiring let’s go back to sleep…

I can be anything for you baby.
Robot lover, Benzo Belle, lacklustre, lifeless, vacuum.
Oh well….

Fresh On The Net is a music blog hosted by Tom Robinson and Team Freshnet, offering independent artists an open door and a level playing field for their music. Our inbox is open at http://freshonthenet.co.uk every Monday to Thursday morning - if you share a track with us there it will be heard by every member of our moderation team.

IMPORTANT: 
Only send ONE track, and make sure the dropbox says "OPEN".  Sorry, but tracks sent while the dropbox is closed - or shared drectly with this Soundcloud account - will not get heard.

A singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for cinematic genre-bending and controversial boundary-pushing, Calista studied classical/jazz piano and composition at London’s Royal Academy of Music, and has since been performing and winning fans across the world with her dynamic voice and captivating songs.

She founded charity-based arts collective Voice of Aiko in 2018 and is currently penning music-theatre with playwright Stephanie Martin. Having composed several international floor-fillers under pseudonyms, Calista’s impact in the world of music is matched in that of fashion, where Stella McCartney has used her tracks as catwalk openers and Parisian fashion house Jitrois actually named its couture ‘Callista’ jacket after her.

Following the success of the critically acclaimed ‘Project: Love Me’ EP, Calista has just released her highly anticipated debut solo album, ‘Empress’. Continuing to modify the norms of modern songwriting, this stunning concept album considers the stories of women in history, challenging complex themes while never losing its sense of fun. Accompanying each release are awareness-raising charity campaigns addressing themes which include LGBTQ+ rights, period shame, prescription-drug dependency and domestic abuse.

Out on 15th November, Empress is fan funded and supported by Help Musicians UK’s Do it Differently Fund. Available now at: https://ffm.to/empress

“An undoubted talent.” Sir George Martin
