Comment
We're loving the beautiful vocal on this new SubSoul track. It’s something we played last week and Danny Howard's been playing it too. We think the artist, Arle, is from Australia but the remix comes from Icarus. With a big bass line, this is Close To You, this week’s Essential New Tune.
This week’s Essential New Tune is featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 33:05 mins here.
