After Eight Show - New Music You Just Don't Hear Anywhere Else!

As usual, we had masses 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. This week's Luvva Cover feature was sensational! One of Nina Simone's most powerful (though lesser known) songs is Blackbird. An American jazz singer, Marley Munroe, is relaunching her career as Lady Blackbird with a new album due out soon. She has released her cover version of Nina Simone's song as a single and it is one of the best tracks we have heard this year! New Music That You Just Don't Hear Anywhere Else!
