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 14th February: 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/batch436

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 436

Each week, we pick ten tracks we can't stop listening to and that we think you need to hear. Take a 40 minute trip into R&B, soul, electronic, jazz and indie. Listen to our playlists to discover the best new music.

piano joint

This is a song I wrote about love between two people who cannot be together because of fear of change. It is an acoustic guitar track with a catchy strumming pattern and a chorus that will possible be stuck in your head the rest of the day. This is my first public release of many songs I write. I hope you enjoy.

For Who I Have Become

Sowing the Seeds

Early Morning Rain

Beaming is a collection of songs shaped from a year of uncertainty and delivered by  songwriter Jon Wilder (aka Boom Years) with an anxious spirit.  "Everybody's trying to make sense of our current situation and how our past has led to the madness that surrounds us.  Finding joy and light right now seems impossible, but I'm reminded daily through the actions of protesters, charity of neighbors and love of friends that hope isn't lost."  These songs mark a turning point for Boom Years, coming from personal events rather than narrative story telling, details gleaned from months of job loss, family strife, dogs in surgery and a move to Portland where the noise of riots and police sirens found their way into the background of songs.  "We'll persist and we'll endure," Jon says, "I'm just trying to keep smiling."

Parallel

Steadily making her mark on the nu-jazz and alternative soul scene, 2022 signals an exciting new chapter for the British-German artist as an EP is set to be released in Spring. With her engrossing vocals and impressive production capabilities already capturing the attention of 6 Music’s Gilles Peterson - he declared “Street-soul is back” in reaction to the original 2020 release of 'Fantasies' - she’s also gained recognition from COLORS, British Vogue, The Pit Ldn, Jamz Supernova and BBC Radio 1 (Gemma Bradley's 'Top Tip'). In the summer, she wowed festival goers at Latitude with a stunning performance on the BBC Introducing stage.
