Elizabeth Alker with music by Olafur Arnalds, Hildur Guðnadóttir and Sufjan Stevens. Plus a Katie Gately exclusive track & music for an Unclassified Valentine's Day by Rafiq Bhatia. Oceans is the title of the ethereal first track from Olafur Arnalds's new collaboration with experimental singer and producer RY X. This week fellow Icelander Hildur Guðnadóttir made history as the first woman to win the Oscar for Best Original Score with a dramatic composition. Plus the exclusive first play of a track from Katie Gately's powerful new album Loom, dedicated to her mother who passed away in 2018 from a rare form of cancer. And as we pass midnight into Valentine's Day, Rafiq Bhatia is In a Sentimental Mood - but like you've never heard it before.
