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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 486

This song is about the power of friendship. Sometimes, you might just need someone to listen, or to take comfort in being able to sit together in silence.

One Speck Of Blue

Something Real

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".

Tu-kay & Ryan are a multi-award winning acoustic duo blurring the lines between folk, Americana and roots music.

They have become known for their lush harmonies and heartfelt lyrics. Their songs encourage a positive outlook on life, even when things may be tough. They are optimists at heart and believe there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how small or distant it may seem.

Their single Temporal Drifter went to number 1 in the Amazon Folk Charts, for both bestsellers and hot new releases, in May 2022.
