Comment
"Earlier this year, you might have seen it on your socials, Dom Dolla bought Nelly Furtado out, over the New Year, at the Beyond the Valley festival in Australia to sing a mash-up of 'Say It Right' and Bicep's 'Blue', alongside her other greatest hits in what turned out to be her first stage performance for five years. And now he joins forces with her again on this original track 'Eat Your Man'."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 34.11 here.
