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 22nd 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/batch396

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

“Uh oh. Oh no, no, no. Dang it!” “Scared Now” was inspired by that uh-oh, panicked feeling you get the moment you realize that you might be in over your head. With its soulful guitar, danceable grooves, and relatable lyrics, “Scared Now” provides the perfect soundtrack to look back at past panic and dance with it through 20-20 hindsight.

Always On My Mind

23-year-old Glasgow-based singer/songwriter recently featured on BBC Radio Scotland, STV, The Scotsman, Scotland on Sunday & The Sun.

"His prodigious talent is clear and unambiguous: an extraordinary voice that ranges from the crunch of steps on a pebbly British beach to a soaring heavenly and slightly whiskey-soaked angel’s falsetto. Kelly’s guitar playing, augmented by what sounds like an entire gospel choir, is a suitable restrained bedrock to his alt. bluesy sound" 
Arun Kendall, Backseat Mafia

"Overall it’s an impressive debut, which should pave the way to summer festival slots and provide a taste of the album scheduled for the end of the year"
Olaf Furniss & Derick MacKinnon, Scotland On Sunday/The Scotsman

"Hugh Kelly leaps out of the speakers with a tone that growls with the gravitas of life experience, reminiscent of Leonard Cohen or the late Joe Cocker" 
Flo, Angry Baby

"Credit is surely due for the roundedness that he brings so early in what is set to be an illustrious career"
Jamie MacDonald, 7ahead Music

"Hugh Kelly comes from Edinburgh and his style shifts between bluesy and soulful, and he possesses a vocal delivery reminiscent of Paulo Nutini and John Martyn" 
Ola Szmidt, Fresh On The Net
