"Arlo Parks" is a British singer-songwriter and poet from West London.

A relatively new artist on the scene, her debut album "Collapsed in Sunbeams" was only released in 2021, but since 2018 she has dropped sporadic singles as well as a well received EP. Arlo's music has been described as R&B, Neo Soul and even Indie Folk, due to her poetic/thoughtful lyrics and soothing voice. One of her big breakthroughs came in 2018 when upon uploading her music to BBC's "Introducing" initiative, a radio DJ passed on her tracks to the management firm "Beatnick Creative", who have since become her managers. There is a lot more to know about this rising artist. Jay and Jesse discuss her multi-ethnic background, the effect her songs have had on the public at large, and the guys spin some of their favorite tracks from Arlo's repertoire.
