BBC Radio 1: VC Pines - Bones
The fantastic VC Pines is now on Radio 1's playlist! Make sure to tune into the network all week to hear his track 'Bones'.
Supported by: Jess Iszatt and the team at BBC Music Introducing in London.
Style: Alternative soul.
Essential: VC Pines is Jack Mercer, the former frontman of The Carnabys, who has moved away from the realm of indie-rock and immersed himself in a well of alternative soul, poetry and punk performance. He's been supported by Introducing in London since 2018 and he played the Introducing stage at Reading & Leeds earlier this year. Alongside a seven-piece band, VC Pines delivers deep organ drones and trills to provide the dark underbelly for this alt-soul avenue, while a seventies-esque sound sugarcoats the grit with trumpet and trombone. He's influenced by Yellow Days, Cosmo Pyke, and Oscar Jerome.
BBC Radio 1Xtra: Lady Ice - First
Lady Ice is on the legendary 1Xtra playlist! Tune in to Nick, Nadia, Dotty, Twin and Yasmin all week to hear 'First'.
Supported by: The wonderful Nat & Michelle at BBC Music Introducing in Manchester.
Style: 0161 bars.
Essential: Lady Ice is a rapper from the North-West of Manchester who has been supported by Introducing since 2017. She also recently starred in BBC Three TV show 'The Rap Game UK' and has also been championed by DJ Target on 1Xtra.
