BBC Radio 1: Only The Poets - Even Hell
Only The Poets are now on Radio 1's playlist!
Supported by: Our friend Bridgitte Tetteh from BBC Music Introcing in Berkshire.
Style: High class indie.
Essential: Only The Poets are a 4 piece indie band from Reading and they've been supported by Introducing in Berkshire since 2017. They are Tommy, Roo, Joe, and Marcusir, and the band's style is influenced by the likes of Blur, Bombay Bicycle Club and Everything Everything. They performed an energetic set on the Introducing stage at Reading & Leeds this year which went down a storm!
BBC 1Xtra: Olivia Nelson - Never Too Late
Next up in the Introducing hot spot is Olivia Nelson! You can hear her track 'Never Too Late' all week on the 1Xtra playlist, being played by Dotty, Nick Bright, Yasmin, Twin B and Mim Shaikh.
Supported by: The fabulous team at BBC Music Introducing in London.
Style: Fresh-faced R&B.
Essential: Oliviais a 22-year-old R&B singer from Ilford who has been championed by BBC Music Introducing in London and 1Xtra's DJ Target and Jamz Supernova. Olivia played at the Lexington for our Introducing showcase gig earlier this year and blew us all away. Her classic R&B sound is influenced by her upbringing on soul bands and love of the iconic Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Olivia has admitted that when she was younger, she always knew that she was destined to be a musician… that, or an astronaut! We're glad she chose to pursue the former career, as she has gone on to produce a commendable debut EP called 'For You' which features her lead single 'Never Too Late'. It's out now and it's stunning - we can't wait to hear more!
