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 4th March 2024: 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/batch521

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 521

June

A View from the Garden

ask me where I am
the maps they all trace back
back to you
back to you

my moral compass lags
despite all that I've shared
with you
with you

back to you
back to you
back to

thought I tried
thought I could like it, baby
don't leave
don't leave
thought I tried
thought I could like it, baby
don't leave
don't leave
don't leave

you, you
back to you
back to you

my friends ask me where I've been
and I know it is a trap
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you

Noctalgia

Prepare for an adrenaline-pumping experience as these two hip-hop heavyweights bring the heat.

From the gritty streets to the studio, witness the journey as Kidd Kidd and B.G. lay down their unapologetic verses against a backdrop of street life and undeniable authenticity. 

Kidd Kidd, known for his razor-sharp flow and gritty storytelling, teams up with the legendary B.G., whose influence on the rap game is undeniable.

Yellow Tape ft. B.G.

Ramblin’ along with the help of ukulele and simple percussion, the optimistic, summertime vibe of ‘Happy Place’ summons a longing for simplicity and the comforting familiarity of a favourite holiday spot or childhood memory. Influenced by the light, bouncy sounds of artists such as Ed Sheeran or George Ezra, this song captures the contentment of standing still for a moment in this mad world and the beauty of simple pleasures.

Liverpool based duo APRIL MOON met Brighton born Kirzy on the Canary Island while playing music at local bars several years ago and knew that their music styles would be an interesting combination although this is the first time they’ve attempted songwriting together.

Lyrics:

Figure fluorescent
Heart incandescent
Spare me a second
I'm still on the stairs
We're gonna make it there
In time
Time is playing tricks on us
I caught this motion sickness

Don't feel defeated
You're overheating

Caught in the glow of it
There's no letting go
Operation overload
Flawed in the flow of it
Some things you can't control
Looming buffer overflow

Take the bait
See my pupils dilate
As I turn around
Take a step
Let my system reset
Now we're counting down

Then I'm on the phone
Guess who's calling who?
Then I'm on the road
Guess who follows you?
 
Time is playing tricks on us
Time is playing tricks on us

Caught in the glow of it
There's no letting go
Operation overload
Flawed in the flow of it
Some things you can't control
Looming buffer overflow

Caught in the glow of it
Blinded by "the one"
Operation zero sum
Operation zero sum

Figure Fluorescent

Half Asleep

Hundred Or More

I’m gonna part the seas and wait again while
I don’t know how to tell the seconds too well
Cohabitate with loneliness save 
For the time I ran too late to break the fall

It’s a lot or none at all
Old habits waiting in the wind
Does it wear you out to wear me in
It’s a little late the only way
To let it all escape and wash out in the flood

it’s raining for a cause  

When I fall down they
Gather around and feel the pain
Gotta write down what to say
And a night out won’t hit the same 

Oh summer days you’re heaven sent
And I start to feel I’m interruptin 
And it hurts to say my mind is changing 
Gonna watch me fade like colors in the sun

Like colors in the sun
Like colors in the sun

When I fall down they
Gather around and feel the pain
Gotta write down what to say
And a night out won’t hit the same
