Episode 97: After Eight Show - 20/04/21

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

This week, as always, 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!
Our Luvva Cover, this week, was just sublime. The song is The Kiss, written and recorded in 1973 by the tragic figure of Judee Sill. She had a troubled childhood, became addicted to drugs and eventually died of an overdose but she wrote the most wonderful songs - championed in the UK by the great John Peel and Bob Harris - and still influences songwriters today. The cover version only came out on Tuesday of this week and is by the very special artist Aoibheann Carey-Philpott. She's based in Cork, is a wonderful songwriter and musician in her on right but is also a supreme interpreter of a song. Do give this a listen - you will be spellbound as I was when I first heard it.
