&#34;London-based Ralph Clayton feat. <a href="spotify:artist:68NSd9OdiwLJwyGfGGbaWt" data-name="Francesca Payne">Francesca Payne</a> won the New Trax Poll on my live radio show a few weeks ago with <a href="spotify:track:4fYuq0ACTgHsKQwOZ3GRdv" data-name="Never Stopping">Never Stopping</a> and it is easy to hear why. Francesca’s rich alto voice floats gracefully and expressively over Ralph’s jazz-infused piano chords and keyboard melodies. Her performance is dynamic, dexterous and assured, adorned by sweet backing vocals while the instrumental track is sophisticated and classy. Great collaboration.&#34;
