Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 11th March: from 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/batch318

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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

Imagination

The People's Champions

Hesperus And Phosphorus

A beautiful track fusing together blues, soul, funk and acid Jazz with Emma's raw and soulful vocals with pure delicate tones leaves the listener well and truly blissed.  Emma says 'I wrote this song at a very challenging but magical time of my life.  The lyrics came to me so clearly and they represented a life i was longing for at the time.  It bought good fortune as I met my partner because of this song who helped me craft it. It never ceases to lift my spirits when i hear it.  This song helped me fall in love with life. I hope it does the same for you' Written by Emma Linney with support from Jonathan Bannister.  Vocals: Emma Linney, Drums: Nick Whitcher, guitar: Matt Smith, Bass: Jonathan Bannister. Produced by Ryan Pinson.

'Less Alone' is a melancholic tale of returning home to Yorkshire after 18 months travelling abroad and trying to adapt back to the life she had before her adventures. After her thriving success with debut EP 'Elusive Yusef' (‘leftfield pop and soul’), Clare Kelly’s new material delves even deeper and delivers raw and gritty memories of the past. 

LESS ALONE
Take me back over limitless oceans
My vision was clear over the deep blue
Take me back to New York
Without him there, I'd have been in my element

And I was less alone
Surrounded by no one I know
It seems strange, I know
It seems strange, I know

What are we doing here?
We grind our minds, just to make something of this life
Well, what is it that's in a career?
A nine to five
I don't know what I'm doing here
Take me back California
I loved and lost, at no cost

I was less alone
Surrounded by no one I know
It seems strange, I know
It seems strange, I know

I'm with the fishes in Fiji
I'm in a bar in Sydney
I'm on a mountain top on a motorbike 
I'm not here

I am here
I am here
I am here
I am here

I was less alone 
Surrounded by no one I know.

All Night

Bad Places

A song about optimism, sort of an updated "My Favorite Things"

Lyrics:
I like birds and maps
and little brown bats
kites and soup and great big rocks
crowns and cake and cashmere socks
I like ferns and knots    
vetiver and robots
winter snow and Saturn's rings
and all the shades of green in spring

And there was something but I let it go
and now it's nothing, no
the sky is really big today 
the sky is really big today 

 I like books and hats
and science and naps
the smell of paint and the forest floor   
sidewalk chalk and hardware stores
I like crows and ravens 
and  elegant equations
trains and  pie and reptile eyes
velvet nights and fireflies
  
And there was something but I let it go
and now it's nothing, no
the sky is so blue today
the sky is so so blue today

I like stars and peas
times gone by and times to be
maple trees in autumn red
the honks of geese overhead

And there was something but I let it go
and now it's nothing, no
The sky is full of birds 
so many birds
oh  It's full of birds

The Sky is Full of Birds

To Be Without You

Single

Get it

My song Trouble is a chilled vibey song influenced by artists such as Sunset Rollercoaster, SALES and Tom Misch.
