"This week's ENT comes from LP Giobbi, the rising US pianist, DJ and producer, entrepreneur, activist and founder of Femme House. She's just released her second single since signing with Ninja Tune via their imprint Counter Records and she is making her mark. She is a lovely lady, a very positive and happy soul, and she's a very talented composer and piano player as well." 
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 36.25 here.
