Comment
We previewed this on last week's show but I really believe it deserves the full acknowledgement. It's taken from his forthcoming (March 9) album, All That Must Be, which features collaborations with Bonobo and Tracey Thorn but also includes last year's massive single Burns, we are of course talking about George Fitzgerald. This new track features the voice of Lil Silva and it is sublime, the great accompanying video is a bit of a take on the Tom Hardy movie Locke, this is Roll Back, enjoy. 
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 32:20 mins here.
