Comment
We’re going to take a bit of a left turn for this one and showcase something very French on the legendary Ed Banger label. It’s produced and put together by the highly talented Sebastian, and comes from none other than Charlotte Gainsbourg, daughter of the legendary Serge Gainsbourg. This is her new single, it’s called Deadly Valentine, I hope you love it as much as I do.
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 36:00 mins here.
