John B feels like he needs to be living in a VW bus in San Francisco listening to this. This is not something he would have ever picked up for himself or even considered but he’s glad to have been sent ‘Power On’. Now, he’s not going to say it is perfect or anything.

Many of them are produced against the background of continuing quarantine conditions in some countries, while others reflect artists being able to return and flex their creative muscles once again. After careful consideration of the 100-plus submissions we once again received this week – and, yes, we did watch them all – our winning selection is something different from what you might expect…
