Name: Can't Escape The Blues by Louisa Rowley in ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 457
Duration: 3 min 39 s
Description: A blues-influenced soulful track that describes an artist's battle with anxiety in the modern day.

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 5th September: 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/batch457

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.

Just Wanna Let U Kno feat. Dr Fabola

'So Paranoid' is a celebration of the glorious intoxification of love.
The song encapsulates the feelings of overwhelming claustrophobia that can exist within a fiercely intense relationship

Singing those blues away, one note at a time…

Louisa Rowley is an artist that blends unique, 21st century problems with the sounds of vintage blues, soul and jazz and is a new tour-de-force on the London music scene. Taking her influence from several different artists, Louisa’s sound is comparable to the likes of Stephen Sanchez and Bonnie Raitt and has previously been described as Elvis meets Amy Winehouse! She started writing music, aged 18, to help her cope with her anxiety and has since used the music to explore her mental health, late-diagnosed autism and experiences of post-adolescence.

Louisa began releasing music in the summer of 2022 with her debut single, Can’t Escape The Blues. She released her follow up, Love Me For All My Flaws in September of 2023, with the latter featuring on Soho Radio’s, Get In Her Ears. 2025 will signal the release of Louisa’s debut EP, with tracks 1 and 2, already being released earlier this year. Beckoning a shift in Louisa Rowley’s sound, the EP to come will transition Louisa’s sound from primarily blues-influenced into a unique fusion that combines elements of soul, blues, jazz and funk. This EP will be an amalgamation of all her thoughts, feelings and struggles the past few years and establishes Louisa Rowley as an exciting new name on the independent music scene. 

In the runup to her EP release, Louisa can be found on her social media channels, where she regularly updates her followers with all her music related exploits.
