Would have liked to read the lyrics whilst listening.

eu já começo a chorar daqui! amo tuas músicas! <3

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 25th January: 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/batch392

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.

Lyrics

It seems like
This is the step I take
To see you
It seems like
Halfway here
I lost the truth

Empty mugs
All that I am
On the kitchen floor
Vulnerable me
Dripping down the sink
All that’s in between

And I shift and change
And I rearrange 
And I fill with rage
And I try again
And it’s all about
The way I hold my mind
And I if I keep you close
I might free your mind

And I hold your body 
Like you’re holding mine
And I feel the cure
Running down my spine
It’s a strange exchange
The way we’re shattered now
But I feel alive

When I hold on to you
Unfold you
Hold on to you
Hold on to you

Let me be
The one who holds you close 
Intertwined 
I’m your ghost
Our veins, blood
Flows through me

It seems like
This is the step I take
To see you
To see you

And I shift and change
And I rearrange 
And I fill with rage
And I try again
And it’s all about
The way I hold my mind
And I if I keep you close
I might free your mind

And I hold your body 
Like you’re holding mine
And I feel the cure
Running down my spine
It’s a strange exchange
The way we’re shattered now
But I feel alive

When I hold on to you
Unfold you
Hold on to you
Hold on to you

Unfold you (unfold you)
Unfold you (unfold you)
Hold on to you (unfold you)

KIMO - HOME ALONE

Reuben

Ruth wrote Way the Wind Blows when she was 12 years old. The lyrics reflect on missing her dad whilst growing up as he worked as a touring musician. Now 23, she has reimagined the song with her band, featuring guitars from James Cooke, recorded by Mark Lewis at Germanium Studios in Manchester.

Fresh On The Net is a music blog hosted by Tom Robinson and Team Freshnet, offering independent artists an open door and a level playing field for their music. Our inbox is open at http://freshonthenet.co.uk every Monday to Thursday morning - if you share a track with us there it will be heard by every member of our moderation team.

IMPORTANT: 
Only send ONE track, and make sure the dropbox says "OPEN".  Sorry, but tracks sent while the dropbox is closed - or shared drectly with this Soundcloud account - will not get heard.

“She has a soulful and dexterous voice and a sound that is thoroughly contemporary with programmed beats, vocal harmonies that could be the Staves, a melody that could be Solange and a folky Alt Pop sensibility that could be Arlo Parks. Mostly though, it is classy, dynamic and impressive. A real talent.” Neil March, Fresh On The Net

__

Described as “classy, dynamic and impressive”, Nadedja’s music has always had the power to mesmerise and captivate audiences - an uncanny, intrinsic talent first visible as a 12-year-old songwriter. UK-based but Brazilian-born, Nadedja’s alt-pop sound is the perfect blend of intoxicating and magnetic soundscapes coupled with her ethereal signature vocal delivery. 

Inspired by the music and songwriting of Maggie Rogers, Rosalía and MUNA, Nadedja’s upcoming music captures a devotion to raw emotions and gut feelings, whilst exploring ways to free those passions through sensational pop textures, catchy hooks and compelling melodies.

Since the release of her independent debut EP ‘Transient’, Nadedja has been championed by national radio airplay on BBC 6 Music, and is one of BBC Introducing North-East’s ‘Tips for 2022’. Her music has been playlisted on daytime BBC Newcastle shows and featured on a BBC Sounds podcast, alongside numerous plays on Amazing Radio, BBC Tees and North-East Introducing shows. She’s also received extensive support from renowned organisations such as Help Musicians, Sage Gateshead and Generator. ‘Transient’ has enjoyed widespread coverage in publications around the world, including several features in Tom Robinson’s Fresh On The Net blog, and the Brazilian tastemaker blog ‘Nação da Música’. 

Nadedja has supported acts such as Mica Paris, Rose Cousins, Ajimal and Cattle & Cane, as well as festival appearances including Latitude, Dot to Dot, Tour de Moon and the BBC Introducing stage at Stockton Calling. In 2021, Nadedja was the very first artist to headline Sage Gateshead’s ‘From The Glasshouse’ concert series. She’s expanded her international presence by performing on several occasions on Live Brazilian TV, including a morning news show on Globo. In 2022, her brand-new music video for ‘Holographic Sickening Love’ was selected as one of June’s best independent videos of Brazil, by the esteemed Hits Perdidos tastemaker platform.
