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 17 Apr 2023: 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/batch484

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.

Something Told Me

i can’t help it (PROD. BY KING THETA)

All Of Me

I wrote this arrangement for the talented students at Lemont High School (Huge thanks to Dave Nommenson, director, for the commission!) this spring. 
Based on the "unplugged" performance by a-ha , this show, introspective version of the song is SAB vocals and piano only.

This demo is made with Synthesizer V's virtual "Natalie" and "Kevin" voices.

Take On Me "Unplugged" - SAB Choir Demo

True Love

살며시 또 번져오는 하얀 햇살 아래서
널 보고 있으면 내 마음 다 들킨 것 같아

어쩌다 툭 닿은 너의 어깨 위에서
난 한참을 또 너와 함께 웃고 말았지

널 바라보는 내 마음이
애타게 널 기다리지만

내 마음이 너를 그린다면
너를 향한 나의 마음 모두 너에게로 번지고

내 마음이 널 그린다면
나의 모든 마음속에 널 또 떠올리겠지


널 보러 가는 내 마음도
애타게 널 찾고 있지만

내 마음이 너를 그린다면
너를 향한 나의 마음 모두 너에게로 번지고

내 마음이 널 그린다면
나의 모든 마음속에 널 또 떠올리겠지

내 마음이 너를 그린다면
너를 향해 물든 마음 모두 너의 곁에 띄우고

내 마음이 널 그린다면
나의 모든 순간 속에 넌 또 떠오르겠지

내 마음이 너를 그린다면
너를 향한 나의 마음 모두 너의 곁에 띄우고

내 마음이 널 그린다면
나의 모든 마음 안에 널 또 떠올리겠지

내 마음이 너를 그린다면

In 2023, the Music Technology and Production area at OSU produced an album in response of a university-wide call for songs. We selected 9 diverse tracks from over 30 submissions to comprise the album, which was produced by OSU MTP students. Each selected songwriter was paired with student producers in the MTP area. The songwriters and producers worked closely to shape the final version of each song.
