The songstress who rose to fame with her single, 'Love On Repeat' released ‘I Don’t Want Your Baby’ on Friday, 29 October 2021. The song relates to the push and pull of motherhood that many young women across the world are grappling with – celebrating the autonomy of being a woman and knowing that your choice is your choice and there is beauty in that.

Jesse Clegg is back from the US and is back with new music – with a brand new single called ‘Waiting on the Outcome’. 

‘Waiting on the Outcome’ is a very personal song to Jesse and was written in a moment in his life where he had to come to terms with losing someone and overcoming the complicated feelings involved - on the one hand, sadness and fear of change, and on the other, empowerment about facing these big moments in life and trusting yourself to get through it.

He joined Carl Wastie on the Kfm Top 40 on Saturday, 31 Oct 2021 to chat about what he's been up to, the new single and... gymming.

Kristi first tasted success in her music career with her debut single ‘I Need More
Time’, a collaboration GoodLuck, which reached the Top 3 on iTunes upon
release.

Kristi and her late sister Jenna Lowe shared a love of music but, when Jenna died
from a rare terminal lung condition, Kristi took a step back from performing and
writing to allow herself time to heal with her family.

Having come to terms with her loss, and reignited her passion for writing, she has
forged ahead with re-establishing herself as an artist who believes in the healing
power of music.

Now she’s released ‘Not Here To Please You’ – a song aimed at empowering
women, highlighting objectification and issues of consent in today’s hookup
culture.

Kristi joined Carl Wastie on the Kfm Top 40 to chat about the release and her journey into music.
