T.M/O, Cloverhill, Kitty May, Ron Delmar

We kick off with the stunning spoken wordery of T.M/O and her track Wilson, which I lavish much praise on. You can hear more from her via these links:

From her bio (supplied by Jo at Pufferfish):

Fury fuelled, love driven. We are all the same but T.M/O is truly exceptional.

Formidable lyricist T.M/O returns to your ears, hearts, screens and stages, a modern day Odysseus. Back from the dead with nine prop fibroids, a couple of new battle scars and an origin story so inspiring, so ridiculous, so frustrating. She is the art. A proven vessel of resilience, she may be the only artist to perform a Sofar Sounds set mid kidney failure, she hasn’t had time to check.

“Moving. Provocative. Politically charged in the best kind of way. Fuck you but thank you energy.” – Jazzi Sirius

T.M/O has been leaving spoken word fans in tears, quaking, cackling, and questioning themselves since 2019, performing alongside chart-topping Nxdia and the Voice’s Broken Pen. She speaks to and for those who have been thrust into corners they had no idea how to get out of, for every ‘other’ who can relate to losing momentum in the search for self.

For fans of Ren, Kate Nash, The Streets and Kae Tempest.

New single Wilson – produced by PaleBlu – is a drum and bass anthem for every castaway and rejected soul. Taken from the forthcoming EP 28 Staples Later (Dec 2025), inspired by her health battles and wider struggles faced by women every day.

She is certainly exceptional and well worth your time.

Next up is the phenomenon that is Cloverhill with their track Noise in Your Head. I remixed this for the podcast and tell the story in the episode, including a snippet of the original sent to me by Paul Lasky.

From their bio:

Cloverhill was born when guitarist and songwriter Paul Laskey met producer Grant Henderson at a music festival in France. They shared a love of classic rock and began working at Grant’s Loom Studio in Leeds, which produced their first album 7 of One, 2 and a Half of the Other.

Their albums have gained critical acclaim and recognition from names such as Neal Schon (Journey), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Guns ‘n’ Roses, Sons of Apollo), Foreigner, Yes, Five Finger Death Punch and more recent acts like Massive Wagons, Those Damn Crows and The Dust Coda.

Their second album All Done With Dreaming reached #1 nationally on the ReverbNation Rock Chart, and they’ve since released Just North of Hell (2022). Despite setbacks including the loss of drummer Jon Hollins in 2023, they continue to record and have new material on the way, including Perfectly Insane scheduled for release in October 2024.

Kitty May and her track Our Place takes the third slot. A beautiful song, lovingly performed with care and honesty. Another track sent by Jo at Pufferfish, her bio says it best:

This hauntingly whimsical song invites you to take a trip through your most nostalgic memories and journey through a beautiful soundscape crafted by a young singer-songwriter truly coming into her own.

Produced by Gavin Bowers at Catch 21 Records in Norwich with stunning visuals by Adam Barnes.

Kitty-May is a talented young artist from East Anglia, making waves as a beautifully wistful songwriter invoking the folk sounds of the 60s and 70s while firmly staking a claim in the modern pop world. Her laid-back vocals float over a chord-driven sound pushed along by a lo-fi hip hop beat, weaving together a style that is both electronic and organic.

Finally, we come to Ron Delmar with Lovers on the Run. I bloody love this song from this very affable South African. It has a charm and deftness that had me humming the tune all day. It migt not have the polished production of some of the tracks I play but it has depth and a lot of heart.
