In this installment of Heavy Rotation — where we bring to you public radio's new favorite songs — we collaborated with KCRW in Santa Monica, Calif., to bring you an exclusive track from British singer Laura Mvula's session on Morning Becomes Eclectic, plus enjoy a download from rising post-punk band Savages, courtesy of WXPN in Philadelphia.

This week's panel includes:

  • Anne Litt, a DJ at KCRW in Los Angeles.

  • Dave P., host of Making Time Radio on WXPN in Philadelphia.

  • Jeremy Petersen, voice of OPBmusic in Portland.

  • DropaJewel, one of the hosts of WEAA's Strictly Hip-Hop in Baltimore.

  • Maggie Brennan, music director at WCBE in Columbus, Ohio.
