New Music: Jacob Frohde

Subtle and soft Swedish pop from a talent that’s just 17-years old.

New Music: Marques Martin

Track of the week. Every so often a sound hits you and excites you in equal measures… Just like this. It’s an epic fusion of spoken-word, dark experimental beats and RnB.

New Music: Deema

A new London talent who has seemlessly fused rap with eclectic samples and a casual throwback to 90’s hip hop.

Here we go again… BBC Sound of has just released it’s longlist for 2020 and I honestly feel this is the first time in years that they have had a list which is actually relevant… Anyhow – here’s the lucky kids (along with the first time most of these were featured on Alfitude):

Arlo Parks – first featured on Alfitude in November 2018
Beabadoobee – first featured December 2018
Celeste – first featured July 2014
Easy Life – first featured November 2017
Georgia – first featured June 2014
Inhaler
Joesef – first featured May 2019
Joy Crookes – first featured February 2016
Squid
Yungblud – first featured March 2018

My money’s on Yungblud to win this, but my heart is with Arlo Parks and Celeste. The shortlist and eventual winner will be announced in January 2020.

New Music: Grandma

A weird mix of soul, blues, and indie. The chorus is so sublime though, I really can’t stop listening to this song…

New Music: Blue

“The song itself is about realising that I really can’t be anyone while being in a really dark time of my life. I can only be myself, and if that isn’t good enough for someone, then i need to move on, but in the song i’m still holding on to the idea of what she could be, because it’s hard and I don’t really want to leave, even when I have to.”
