Wallow in 5th week blues/pre-exam stress by listening to this beautiful, but rather bleak, song.
4. Sarai Givaty: Into your Heart

6. Jake Downs: The Prince

This quirky and organic sounding music is the work of a first year Oxford music student. Definitely worth listening to!
7. Kidnap Kid: Vehl

On the UK emerging bass scene, Kidnap Kid has managed to differentiate himself by creating a unique audio aesthetic that manages to be meaningful and articulated without utilising the standard tricks.
8. Annie Lennox: Walking on Broken Glass

This song is a sure fire way to wake yourself up in the morning. A brilliant feel good tune with one of the most bizarre music videos I’ve ever seen!
