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 …
I’ve just discovered this little beauty released on the 7th August! This is gospel music with an anthemic chorus that you can imagine echoing in churches around the world – hold that thought. Martin Smith is no stranger to writing anthemic hymns – after all it was 30 years this year that I heard Thankyou …
This track brings Latin grooves and melds it with atmospheric sounds, plus a vocal delivered in Spanish.., this track is giving me the perfect soundtrack to my sunset… the beat is built around shakers, kick, snare, a sunny 808 which is perfect for the date.

The response has been super positive! It’s a collaboration with Purbayan Chatterjee how did that come about? We had met …
Now this is a track that is a meal suitable only for the Asantehene! A bit of folk, combined with soul, and a bit of an Afrobeat groove to sweeten the Ghanaian jollof rice of a track that we have here. If you know you know. This starts off with a cool guitar riff, leading …
