04Playlist Notes

What was the first song you played on repeat?
'Cry to Me' - Solomon Burke

Emily’s Heart - Jamie T 
I take real influence from Jamie T, I think I always will.. That rawness and what a songwriter.

Prangin’ Out - The Streets 
I can relate to certain feelings in this song, and I think Skinner’s story telling is fantastic.

Lessons - SOHN 
Recently started listening to SOHN again, the melodies with the production, so underrated!

All for One - The Stone Roses 
What a return!!! This is honestly so so good for live music ahhhhhh

Middle - Jamie Woon 
What a cool dude, like his melodies, songwriting, tone - just woah. This is a banging song which I think we can all relate too, wish I’d have written this to be honest.

Fear - Amaroun 
Randomly stumbled across this amazing song, her voice is just so refreshing, original and quite chilling. Can’t wait to hear more from her!

No Other Way - Paolo Nutini 
Such a break up song, the passion in Paolo's vocals fits so much with the title of the song.

Girlfriend - NAO 
The production of this song with NAO’s vocals is just something else. Just so fresh and raw.
