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 17th November 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/batch590

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

Rock With You

💋 Come closer she wants to bite

Lyrics
The flower girl hunting with her wiles
Plucking hearts like daisies in the wild
Carefree soul with an angel’s smile
The devil hiding in her guile    

Heart-taker, maneater
Cherry lips that make you linger
Heart-taker, maneater
Twisting ‘round all her ten fingers

Wilding one as dark as they come
Batting lashes until you succumb
 Pour souls slinkin’ in one by one 
A pretty face you can’t escape from  

Heart-taker, man-eater
Cherry lips that make you linger 
Heart-taker, maneater
Twisting round all her ten fingers


Flower girl on the prowl
Dewdrop kisses from her red roses
Ravished reveries, the thorns you devour
Silky pleas, wanton threats she imposes

Come closer, she wants to bite
Come closer, she wants to bite

Heart-taker, maneater
Cherry lips that make you linger
Heart-taker, maneater
Twisting round all her ten fingers

Heart-taker, man-eater
Cherry lips that make you linger

F girl

🔥 ATLANTA’S NEXT ANTHEM IS HERE — “SKYSCRAPERS” BY DaMusical Bandit ft. GUNNA 🔥

A bold new wave is rising out of Atlanta’s skyline, and its name is “Skyscrapers.” This record is more than just a song — it’s a vision, a statement, and a sound that captures the grind, the glow-up, and the glory of the city that never stops hustling.

DaMusical Bandit, Atlanta’s next big name, delivers a raw yet polished performance — balancing pain and power, ambition and art. His flow is magnetic, his voice a reflection of every sleepless night and every dream built brick by brick. Gunna slides in effortlessly, his signature melodic trap cadence elevating the track into an atmospheric masterpiece.

The beat? Pure elevation — lush pads, rolling 808s, and shimmering hi-hats that feel like city lights reflecting off glass towers. It’s cinematic, it’s emotional, and it sounds like success in motion.

“Skyscrapers” isn’t just about height — it’s about rise. Rising from the struggle. Rising from the noise. Rising until your story touches the clouds.

With this record, DaMusical Bandit proves he’s not just another ATL rapper — he’s the next voice of the city. Industry insiders are already calling it a breakthrough moment, and it’s only a matter of time before the world looks up.

🚀 This is more than a track — it’s a takeover.
🎧 “Skyscrapers” — DaMusical Bandit ft. Gunna.
The city’s in the clouds. Are you coming up?

Skyscrapers

A song about a pilgrimage to structures designed by the engineer Ove Arup. Much of the composition focuses on Kingsgate Bridge, in Durham (England) and even imagines two people stretching out to reach each other in the way this feat of engineering cantilevers out from either bank of the River Tees.

I wrote the first version of this poem in 2016, when it was published by The New European. Now set to The Big Grey Man’s music, it’s my offering for Christmas 2025, to stand opposite the saccharine and politically naïve Christmas songs that prevail at this time of year. As successive governments pursue inhumane and inhuman immigration, welfare and anti-peace policies, it’s a message of hope and determination. I reject hate. I reject evil. That’s the real message, not just at Christmas, but all year round.

Spoken
I reject that autumn starts on the first of September.
I reject that organised religion is faith.
I reject that faith engenders violence.
I reject that one faith is greater than another.
I reject that faith and science are mutually exclusive.
I reject that one country is greater than another.
I reject that humans are basically bad.
I reject that war is inevitable.
I reject that peace is impossible.
I reject that those who seek peace are appeasers.
I reject that those who oppose war are cowards.
I reject that austerity is a sound economic principle.
I reject that the poor should pay for the crimes of the rich.
I reject that immigration should be limited.
I reject that there’s a difference between races.
I reject that there’s any difference between individuals.
I reject that Brexit is permanent.
I reject that the sword is mightier than the pen.
I reject that love is nothing more than chemistry.
I reject hate.
I reject evil.

Sung
No lo creo.
Ten valor.
No pasarán.
Ven conmigo.
Estamos unidos.
No nos silenciarán.

I don't think so.
Have courage.
They shall not pass.
Come with me.
We are united.
They will not silence us.

Spoken
I reject evil.
I reject hate.

I believe that it’s not too late.

I reject evil.
I reject hate.

And I declare that it’s not too late.
