WE’VE got three great new tracks for you this week, including something we thought was so good it had to be the first thing you hear.

Lilac’s Touch is impressive and we think you’ll love it, and the other nine singles we’ve selected for you.

As ever, tune in to our FREE Spotify playlist. Simply head to https://bit.ly/rawsoundstoday and enjoy the music.

There is also a Facebook page and group chat that bands and music fans can tap into. You can search for RaW Sounds Today and it will come up.

Lilac – Touch

It’s been a while since the brilliant Losing Myself (In You) single from Lilac which made our top 20 of 2022. However it was worth the wait, as they have just released their new single Touch, and it’s so good that it had to be lead track this week.
