Night Playlist

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 June 9th 2025: 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/batch573

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.

Music & Lyrics - Kirby Howarth
Vocals - Art Ingram

Art Ingram is the voice of tomorrow — an enigmatic presence shaped by sound, story, and code. Brought to life through artificial intelligence, Art sings songs written and composed by British songwriter Kirby Howarth, blending human emotion with machine precision.

His voice carries echoes of late-night confessionals, lonely highways, and digital dreams. There's no stage, no face — just the music.

Created not as a gimmick but as a genuine artistic collaboration between human and machine, Art Ingram explores love, loss, memory, and identity in a way that feels strangely intimate.

Behind every track is Kirby’s hand: the lyricist, composer, and producer crafting these sonic experiments — letting Art bring them to life in unexpected ways.

Saaqi E Bawafa

A reassuring ode, a declaration of love for my Mona. A story sentiment for the 18 years of ups and downs and highs and lows. Experience it in your own space. For anyone who you've accepted as they are, in the moment, in flux, growing, changing, evolving but, always yours.

haan kar chuka
tum jaisi bhi ho 
jo bhi ho 
meri ho 
tum hi ho 

chalti raho chahe thak jao chahe rasta bhi saaf na ho akeeli nahin ho main saath hoon khamosh hoon, lekin paas hoon
chahe koi kuch bhi kahe tum meri ho jo baatein bhi dil mein hon tumhare jaanu hoon main meri hi ho tum hi ho
tum ko shak ho khud par ya hum par chahe jo bhi ho main saath hoon mushkil lamhe hoon ya khamosh raatein ye sab hum ne saath guzaara hai aur hum phir bhi yahaan hain
tum ne jitne bhi hon sawaal chhupaye koshish karo phir bhi jawab na ban paaye ya phir koi waswasa sar mein samaaye aaj main abhi main sab theek hai jo bhi ho tum meri hi ho 

haan kar chuka tum hi ho
haan kar chuka 
tum jaisi bhi ho 
jo bhi ho 
meri ho 
tum hi ho

Tum Meri Ho

Technicolour Beat

Technicolour Beat (10 Years On)

Snuck in the back with a borrowed name,
Sneakers clean but the soul’s in flames,
Snap a pic with a plastic smile,
Actin’ like I’ve been here a while.

Posted that Benz like it’s mine to keep,
But I’m crashin’ on couches, barely sleep.
Mirror’s cracked, but I strike a pose,
Talkin’ champagne dreams in secondhand clothes.

Fake It ‘Til I Make It

A heartfelt song about the need for a belief in love soldiering on, even when the world is a bin-fire

Soldiers

So thought I'd try this song in a country style, not my voice. 
Words and music by Kirby Howarth.

There's Always a Story (Remix)

في هذه الحلقة يروي الكاتب والباحث عبد الله بن عمر، الذي نشأ بين أزقة مكة وذاكرتها الإفريقية المتجذرة.نتتبع معه خريطة الحضور الإفريقي في المدينة المقدسة، ونستعيد مشاهد الطفولة بين الحارات الشعبية، والمواكب المتدفقة من الحجاج كل عام.

 يحكي ضيفنا عن جذوره الممتدة من نيجيريا وتشاد، عن جد ترك الزعامة مهاجرًا إلى مكة، وعن والد جاب الأقطار قبل أن يستقر جوار الكعبة.

نستعرض معه كيف شكّل موسم الحج ووفود الحجيج ذاكرته الأولى، وكيف عاش الأفارقة في مكة، اندماجًا وتميزًا، علمًا وثقافة، وحضورًا عابرًا للقرون.

نطرح عليه العديد من الأسئلة: كيف تشكل وعيه المكي في ظل هذا التعدد الثقافي والإفريقي؟

 ما سر التعلق العميق للأفارقة بمكة؟

 كيف ساهم موسم الحج في تكوين هوية مكيّة عابرة للقارات؟ هل يشعر الأفارقة في مكة أنهم جزء أصيل من نسيجها الاجتماعي؟

 كيف نقرأ حضور شخصيات إفريقية في تاريخ مكة، من بلال بن رباح إلى عطاء بن أبي رباح؟

 ما الطرق التي سلكها الحجاج الأفارقة للوصول إلى مكة؟

 وماذا عن أثرهم في الحارات، والمجتمع، والثقافة المكية؟

 كل هذه الأسئلة وأكثر تجدون أجوبتها في حلقة من بودكاست "حكايات إفريقية" مع أحمد فال ولد الدين، على منصات أثير

عبد الله بن عمر: قصة الأفارقة في مكة

أنت المثابر | فارس حميدة

"Broken" is a raw, emotional ballad that explores the pain of estrangement, the complexity of unresolved love, and the quiet hope for reconciliation. With stripped-back vocals and a confessional tone, the track moves through themes of regret, inner conflict, and personal growth. It's a song about the unspoken — the silence between words, the weight of past misunderstandings, and the fragile hope that some bonds might still be mended.

Broken

نَهاكَ عَنِ الغَوايَةِ ما نَهاكا
وَذُقتَ مِنَ الصَبابَةِ ما كَفاكا
وَطالَ سُراكَ في لَيلِ التَصابي
وَقَد أَصبَحتَ لَم تَحمَد سُراكا
فَلا تَجزَع لِحادِثَةِ اللَيالي
وَقُل لي إِن جَزِعتَ فَما عَساكا
وَكَيفَ تَلومُ حادِثَةً وَفيها
تَبَيَّنَ مَن أَحَبَّكَ أَو قَلاكا
بِروحي مَن تَذوبُ عَلَيهِ روحي
وَذُق ياقَلبُ ما صَنَعَت يَداكا
لَعَمري كُنتَ عَن هَذا غَنِيّاً
وَلَم تَعرِف ضَلالَكَ مِن هُداكا
ضَنيتُ مِنَ الهَوى وَشَقيتُ مِنهُ
وَأَنتَ تُجيبُ كُلَّ هَوىً دَعاكا
فَدَع ياقَلبُ ماقَد كُنتَ فيهِ
أَلَستَ تَرى حَبيبَكَ قَد جَفاكا
لَقَد بَلَغَت بِهِ روحي التَراقي
وَقَد نَظَرَت بِهِ عَيني الهَلاكا
فَيا مَن غابَ عَنّي وَهوَ روحي
وَكَيفَ أُطيقُ مِن روحي اِنفِكاكا
وَكَيفَ أُطيقُ مِن روحي اِنفِكاكا
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

حَبيبي كَيفَ حَتّى غِبتَ عَنّي
أَتَعلَمُ أَنَّ لي أَحَداً سِواكا
أَراكَ هَجَرتَني هَجراً طَويلاً
وَما عَوَّدتَني مِن قَبلُ ذاكا
عَهِدتُكَ لاتُطيقُ الصَبرَ عَنّي
وَتَعصي في وَدادي مَن نَهاكا
د
فَكَيفَ تَغَيَّرَت تِلكَ السَجايا
وَمَن هَذا الَّذي عَنّي ثَناكا
فَلا وَاللَهِ ماحاوَلتَ عُذراً
فَكُلُّ الناسِ يُعذَرُ ما خَلاكا
وَما فارَقتَني طَوعاً وَلَكِن
دَهاكَ مِنَ المَنِيَّةِ ما دَهاكا
لَقَد حَكَمَت بِفُرقَتِنا اللَيالي
وَلَم يَكُ عَن رِضايَ وَلا رِضاكا
فَلَيتَكَ لَو بَقيتَ لِضُعفِ حالي
وَكانَ الناسُ كُلُّهُمُ فِداكا
يَعِزُّ عَلَيَّ حينَ أُديرُ عَيني
أُفَتِّشُ في مَكانِكَ لا أَراكا
وَلَم أَرَ في سِواكَ وَلا أَراهُ
شَمائِلَكَ المَليحَةَ أَو حِلاكا
وَلَم أَرَ في سِواكَ وَلا أَراهُم
شَمائِلَكَ المَليحَةَ أَو حَلاكا
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
وَما لي أَدَّعي أَنّي وَفِيٌّ
وَلَستُ مُشارِكاً لَكَ في بَلاكا
تَموتُ وَما أَموتُ عَلَيكَ حُزناً
وَحَقَّ هَواكَ خُنتُكَ في هَواكا
وَيا خَجَلِي إِذا قالوا مُحِبٌّ
وَلَم أَنفَعكَ في خَطبٍ أَتاكا
أَرى الباكينَ فيكَ مَعي كَثيراً
وَلَيسَ كَمَن بَكى مَن قَد تَباكى
فَيا مَن قَد نَوى سَفَراً بَعيداً
مَتى قُل لي رُجوعُكَ مَن نَواكا
جَزاكَ اللَهُ عَنّي كُلَّ خَيرٍ
وَأَعلَمُ أَنَّهُ عَنّي جَزاكا
فَيا قَبرَ الحَبيبِ وَدِدتُ أَنّي
حَمَلتُ وَلَو عَلى عَيني ثُراكَا
سَقاكَ الغَيثُ هَتّاناً وَإِلّا
فَحَسبُكَ مِن دُموعي ما سَقاكا
وَلا زالَ السَلامُ عَلَيكَ مِنّي
يَرُفُ مَعَ النَسيمِ عَلى ذُراكا
يَرُفُ مَعَ النَسيمِ عَلى ذُراكا

A haunting reflection on humanity’s fractured relationship with the Earth, "Killing Her Slowly" unfolds like a modern-day lament. Framed with acoustic simplicity and heartfelt chords, the lyrics carry a quiet urgency — asking not just what we’ve done, but what we still might do. This is a song for anyone who’s looked at the world and wondered if we’re loving it… or destroying it. Stirring, melancholic, and deeply human.

Lyrics

I don’t know why
We’re sucking the life
Out of our beautiful sky
Why we promise so much
But give back so little
To a world left worthless and dying
A mother left crying
And all that she gives
We rip from this earth
To clear a new path
For our future

Maybe it’s time
To take stock of our lives
To think of the future of mankind
But will we still promise as much
For whatever it’s worth
In a world that’s corroding from tears
As this Earth disappears
And every breath that she takes
To hang on to her life
Is one last breath of our mistakes
For her future

So where do we go
How about a life-changing road
Now that’s something new
So let’s promise as much
For all that she’s worth
Not to distance ourselves from her plight
Or turn our back on this fight
Because she is a life that’s worth saving
For the next generation that’s waiting
Or shall we just carry on
Killing her slowly
For our future

Killing Her Slowly

“Call Me” is a tender, soul-searching ballad about love lost, and the longing that lingers. With raw vulnerability and poetic simplicity, the lyrics trace the outline of a deep connection left behind — a voice reaching out across time and silence. Wrapped in acoustic warmth and emotional clarity, this song captures the ache of unfinished conversations, the beauty of what once was, and the hope that maybe, just maybe, it’s not too late to call.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Call me
I got you on my mind
We haven't made the time
And I miss the love in your smile

[Verse 2]
Burning the candle from both ends
Don't want it all to end
And drink away my pain

[Chorus]
'Cause you were my world
You were my soul
All dressed up in love with nowhere to go
I was your heart, your heart on a string
I'd do anything to make your love sing

[Verse 3]
Searching
I'm trying to find my way
It's never been okay to leave your love behind

[Verse 4]
But somehow
It never seemed that bad
With everything we had
I wouldn't change a thing

[Chorus]
'Cause you are my world
You are my soul
All dressed up in love with nowhere to go
I wish your heart, your heart on a string
I'd do anything to make your love sing

[Chorus]
'Cause you are my world
You are my soul
All dressed up in love with nowhere to go
I was your heart, your heart on a string
I'd do anything to make your love sing

[Verse 5]
So call me
I got you on my mind
We haven't made the time
And I missed the love in your smile

[Chorus]
'Cause you were my world
You were my soul
All dressed up in love with nowhere to go
I was your heart, your heart on a string
I'd do anything to make your love sing
