The Inbox Playlist (17 October)

The Inbox Playlist consists of the best songs we receive in our inbox from emerging artists. But, because of the high volume of submissions, it’s not possible to cover every song in an individual post. 

We try to listen to every submission and add those we feel to the playlist. The Inbox Playlist is updated fortnightly. 

To stand a chance of having your song featured on The Inbox Playlist, submit streaming links (no MP3 files!) and hi-res photos to contact@onlife.co.za. Songs must be on DSPs. Check out our picks for this edition:
