We had an abundance of #NewMusic in our playlist! An eclectic mix of original, intelligent, melodic, grown-up songs - #electronic, #rnb, #jazz, #blues and #acoustic. And mostly from artists who you have not heard of - yet! Think 'next series of Jools' - that's the kind of artists that we play.
Amongst our selections, there was #NewMusic from Lemolo, Mick Flannery + SON, Leif Erikson, C'est Karma, Perera Elsewhere, Carla dal Forno, Mute Forest, FLOW, Milan Ring, Meshell Ndegeocello + Justin Hicks + Kenita Miller, Moonchild, Yellow Belly, 9Bach, Simphiwe Dana, Gwenifer Raymond, Thomasina Levy, Into The Fray, Yumi Zouma and Micko Roche + Jessie Roche.
Our Luvva Cover feature this week was a slowed down version of one of Cher's biggest dance tune hits. Norwegian-born Okay Kaya, now based in New York, squeezes every ounce of meaning from a lovely lyric which does not come across in the same way in Cher's original. Give it a listen!
New Music That You Just Don't Hear Anywhere Else!
