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 1 May 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/batch486

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.

Local Fool

A fun, catchy song reminding couples to focus on each other even when surrounded by negativity. "Vibing" is a romantic pop song with a bounce and groove that will have you stuck in the reminiscent melody. Rhythmic electric guitar plucking drives the song in between a funky R&B beat while silky vocal harmonies and the lyric dance on top. A perfect fit as a "Lover's Anthem".

I need to feel
Your hand on my skin
I need to love
And I need to be loved
I need to leave
Spend time on my own
I need to be
Away from it all

Unfortunately you
Fall between the two
And there’s nothing here
That can change my mind
There’s nothing here
That will mend with time

Take my heart
My head’s taken over
I’ve got everything
But a world of my own
I need to stay
And I need to keep moving
A life alone
For a freedom to roam

Unfortunately you
Fall between the two
There’s nothing here
That can change my mind
There’s nothing here
That will mend with time

Unfortunately You

"... a blend of indie, rock and pop which is at turns melodic, euphoric and soulful but always honest, relevant, reflective and passionately in love with life."
