MAVOY MUSIC FRIDAY - 27 MARCH 2020

New releases showcase for the week of March 23-9, 2020.

2020 Week 13

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 30th March: from around midday on Friday 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/batch361

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 will be invisible to everyone. 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.

'Love Me Hate Me' - the the 3rd Glow Beets single of 2020 -  sees the rising EDM Producer collaborating with hotly tipped 16 year old Singer Songwriter Aimee Broom.
'Love Me Hate Me' is a bright and youthful feeling EDM and Pop hybrid which features the hard hitting commercial sound that Glow Beets has become known for in his recent releases. With hooky vocal chops, raspy talkbox licks, bouncy plucks, emotive pads and stunning vocals there's enough ear candy ladened throughout the track to merit consecutive streams across a wide demographic.

A Voyeur Makes No Mark

Not Your Time

Don't put trust into yourself 
You'll always let yourself down 
Who are you waiting for? 
Your life is taking you for a ride 
In such a sad state, put trust in your own mind 
'Cause it's taking you for a ride 

Don't put trust in anyone 
They always let themselves down 
Who are you waiting for? 
Your life is taking you for a ride 
In such a sad state, put trust in your own mind 
'Cause it's taking you for a ride
 
Who are you waiting for? 
The sun burns a hole in the ocean 
And you're only there for the view 
Taking attendance and waiting for something now 
Who are you?

Define is inspired by the need to question the social constructs of love and romance. It’s an exploration in taking control and defining your own expectations of relationships and realising sometimes love just isn’t enough.

Define

I wanna celebrate
In this endless eight
You and me could make the best thing in a while

While the city sleeps
Praying to concrete
That only this heart beats the best thing in a while

And you say her name
Patterns in the rain
Match what's in my brain, the best thing in a while

When I see your moon
I got secrets too
Only cause of you, the best thing in a while

Take the bullet train
I don't feel the rain
Want it to remain the best thing in a while

Am I still your moon
There was only you
For a week or two, the best thing in a while

Light a cigarette
I'm not over it
Running to forget the best thing in a while

Wonder if you knew
I got secrets too
Only cause of you, the best thing in a while

Best thing in a while
Best thing in a while
Best thing in a while
Best thing in a while

I don't even know where you are, I'll find you anyway
I don't even know what I want, I want you anyway

Owe It To You

Owe It To You - Natalie Shay

While the track "Calm Down" was about panic attacks in the moment, "Champagne" is about panic attacks in the retrospective. Poor mental health can plague everyday life, and after a while it becomes fatiguing. When you avoid doing things in life for fear it will cause another attack, it becomes a disorder. Your whole life evolves around it, you're always on guard, and you're always taking into consideration how what you're about to do will affect you.

The first verse in "Champagne" talks about seeing random strangers out in the world and wondering what it would be like to trade lives with them. Freaky Friday style. The second verse touches on the same image. "I'm looking over shoulders and seeing everybody fine and how they don't mind" means exactly that. Everybody seems fine. But are they? Are they also dealing with internal demons and seeing me as a random stranger and thinking that I look fine? Is grass always greener on the other side?

In the chorus, "waking up with champagne" is a metaphor for all the blessing I have in my life. Even though I struggle with my own issues, I have to many things to be grateful for. Yet, this line is followed with "are you gonna be afraid every day?" If I have so much to be grateful for, why do I have to worry about struggling with my issues? Can't I just let it go, and enjoy my life? The rest of the chorus says "it comes in numbers. Would you have a life to trade for always?" This asks if it is so bad that I'd really want to permanently trade lives with someone? Again, is grass always greener on the other side?

"Champagne" asks a lot of questions. It's a reflective piece on a very after-the-fact perspective of mental health. Thanks for listening.

'Closure' released 26th March 2020 on Fortress Sounds via AWAL.
STREAM / DOWNLOAD: https://smarturl.it/McClosure

Written by Natalie McCool & Kenzo Zurzolo
Performed by Natalie McCool
Recorded & produced by Kenzo Zurzolo at Paname, Paris, France.
Additional mix & production by Future Humans at Studio 13, London, UK
Mastered by Chris Daniels at Organised Rhyme, Brighton, UK 

"Bouncy, off kilter synths paired with driving drums & guitars to create a record that's playful yet very powerful."

Speaking on the new track, Natalie shared: 

“Have you ever wanted to get over someone so much that you figuratively bury them? 'Closure' is the journey you take to finally slamming the door on that person. It's a high energy middle finger to your once beloved.  What I imagine people doing when they listen to this song is bouncing around singing the chorus at the top of their lungs - I wanted to create something that is anthemic but also full of humour.  Because sometimes, crying and laughing are not so different from one another. 

When you are suffering from loss & grief from a bond that's been broken, the emotions you feel are very complex and numerous, the facets of a break up are many - like a rainbow.  This idea interests me because rainbows are always seen as positive, and I believe going through that range of feeling is also positive because it's a necessary process FOR closure.  

So I brought this rainbow idea, which is also a big image in the song's chorus, to all of the creative ideas for the single campaign too – the idea of reflection, refraction and spectrum – what is necessary to achieve closure.”

Making her first steps into music when she won a national song writing competition judged by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Natalie McCool has excelled. 

Releasing her album ‘The Great Unknown’ in 2016, it has made tastemakers across the board fans of her exceptional art, with notable supports with Aurora & Jamie Lawson, & acclaim from The Sunday Times, Q, Pigeons & Planes & Wonderland as well as BBC Radio 1 DJs Huw Stephens & Alice Levine.

Fully wrapped up, her forthcoming album is a fine collection of songs which channel her raw, inimitable writing style. Partly co-written with The Wombats' Daniel Haggis, they capture and crystallize her memories from both childhood and adulthood, weaving deeply intimate stories that channel life's most vital thoughts and feelings like love, jealousy and loss into a skewed mixture of lilting yet gloriously catchy pop songs.

Lyrics
I'm giving up your ghost, gonna let you go
Gonna break the chain, give myself a break
Time to say goodbye, bury you alive	
I've got 6 feet going spare...

...me the illusion
Let's call a spade a spade oh I'm only human

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure, closure
I put flowers on your grave, I wear a rainbow every day
All that I want is closure, closure

I, I got some way to go, I know it's a joke
Tryna break these chains, I've give myself away
Lucky you're not here to lay it all on me dear			
Cos I've been 6 months going spare...

...me the illusion
Let's call a spade a spade let's call it delusion

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure, closure
I put flowers on your grave, I wear a rainbow every day
All that I want is closure, closure

All that I want is closure, closure, closure
All that I want is closure, closure, closure

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure
And all the shit that's meant to go away seems like it's here to stay
All that I want is closure, closure
