Talented musicians are always creating something new, so we’re delighted to feature another three top songs in this week’s playlist.

Heading it is Dakorra, who featured in our top tracks of 2022. We think Kate Herridge is going from strength to strength and it’s a pleasure to highlight her latest creation, along with that from nine other terrific artists.

As ever, we’re on a mission to champion and showcase great music from acts that have a connection to Reading and Wokingham (that’s the RaW in our Sounds Today name).

It’s a mixture that will help you discover something new. All you have to do is find it on Spotify.

To hear this week’s selection, simply head to https://bit.ly/rawsoundstoday and enjoy the music.
