My dude Jamal Bucanon is back with a banger of an indie rock track that had me from the drop. It starts off with a guitar part under Jamal’s mix of rap and singing. Add to that the breakbeat and the passing through of filters and it just gets you bouncing. My favourite part of …
CLAUDINE – Playlist Claudine The Band · Playlist To kick off the faves we have a new track from a band called Claudine who make their debut here with us, it starts off with an organ part which is joined by drums played on brushes, as well as some great guitar tones, this song had …
This track is gorgeous! It drops right in the middle of waking up on New Year’s Day, next to someone that you’ve known for a long time, but it’s like you know the relationship is over because of the body language. At the same time the songwriter is saying that they are memorising everything so …
I was so happy when this made the Listening Post and faves! It was one of those songs that takes you back in time – the first clue is the cassette player opening up, before going into a song that’s got the Roland D-50 bells that were so popular back in 1987-89. It’s scary to …
This week marks 50 years since Stevie Wonder released this phenomenal album. It is a collection of songs that cover social justice, celebrating musical legends, parenthood and just a need to set the dancefloor alight.

Ezra Collective dropped a new album! Let’s go. This is how the album opens up, and it’s read beautifully by Letitcia Wright – yep. Black Panther herself. She approaches the reading with gravity and reverence, and why not? Imagine someone like Sir Ian McKellen or Dame Judi Dench doing a reading? She’s giving it emotion …
I chose this song because in the 1990s when I was at 6th Form we used to spice up the faculty meetings by adding music to it – I’d play the piano for when people came in and then one of my friends would sing, and this is one of our favourites. Why do I …
ADAM WEDD – YOU ATE MY SANDWHICH! ADAM WEDD · U ATE MY SANDWHICH! Adam Wedd opens Fresh Faves with a song that I immediately connected with – even before hearing the song I read the title and my first thought was – Ross Geller losing it in that little known TV show Friends from …
ANNA RAN – Vultures With Guilt Anna Ran · Vultures with Guilt To open the faves we have a really gentle track in 6/8 time and it’s beautiful! Bathed in reverb this has a prog rock ballad feel to it, and the dreamy sounds of guitars, drums bass and synths really help it along! This …
