New music to listen to this week: A.O.S.O.O.N

Now Hear This

A.O.S.O.O.N (A Lot Of Something Out Of Nothing) are a south London duo who describe themselves as 'gangsta folk' - acoustic folk with heavy urban influences that include Lauryn Hill and Mary J. Blige.

The band have been self-releasing music via their own label Orange - 'Something' is their first track with new singer Ella, drawing on her love of African and South American music.

Watch our premiere for the track below:

The band say of the track: "'Something’ is a story about nature, its importance and how much it has to teach us.

"It’s a reminder that we are all something, we are all unique and an important part of this beautiful, living, breathing plant we live on. The production is very organic; we jammed a few times then hit record and ended up here. It’s especially important to us because it’s our first release on our new label Orange; no rage, no anger, no age.'"
