Jools chats to US musician and BBC 6 Music's Artist in Residence, Annie Clark aka St Vincent, from her home studio in Los Angeles. They discuss her early life growing up in Texas and the musical influences that shaped her, such as Lou Reed, Al Green and British icon PJ Harvey, who all feature in her top favourite Later... performances. They also explore some of the themes and inspirations behind her recently released fifth studio album, Daddy's Home, which sees her take on a new persona inspired by the music and culture of the early 1970s. /  / Multi-talented actor and musician Johnny Flynn makes his debut on the show with a performance filmed at Jools' studio of the track Ten Degrees of Strange, taken from his latest album, Lost in the Cedar Wood, which was co-written with nature writer Robert MacFarlane and features fellow musicians Cosmo and Merlin Sheldrake as well as Johnny's nine-year-old son Gabriel. Flynn has recently appeared in hit films such as Emma, The Dig and the David Bowie biopic Stardust, and over the years has written and released four studio albums as well as the soundtrack to hit BBC sitcom The Detectorists. /  / Also making their Later... debut are Bristol-based five-piece Squid, who will treat viewers to a performance of their single Paddling, which sees the band sharing vocal duties and explores the 'dichotomy between simple pleasures and decadent consumerism'. Squid first met at Brighton University in 2015, having connected over a love of ambient, jazz, and the propulsive sounds of 1970s Germany. They quickly became one of Britain's most-lauded new bands and have recently released their debut album, Bright Green Field, which is produced by Dan Carey, the man behind many of the most vital debut records in recent years. /  / Returning to the show for a performance filmed at West London's Bush Hall is Birmingham-born multi-instrumentalist and vocal powerhouse Laura Mvula. Armed with her keytar, Laura will perform a number from her forthcoming third LP Pink Noise, an album that she describes as having an 'obvious 80s palette' that inspired her to find the 'delight in dance again'.

Jools chats to Dublin-born singer songwriter Imelda May about her life and career, including the success of her latest album 11 Past the Hour, which topped the Official Irish Album Charts to make her the first Irish female solo artist to top the charts in over five years. Her new record and sixth studio album is the follow up to her spoken word EP Slip of the Tongue and features a star-studded array of guests including Ronnie Wood, Noel Gallagher and Miles Kane. Having sifted through the Later... archive, Imelda discusses her top five performances from the show, in which Kirsty MacColl, Joan Armatrading and Queens of the Stone Age all feature. /  / From north London, British-Nigerian musician and actor Little Simz returns to the show with a performance of her latest track Woman, which features vocals from fellow Londoner and previous collaborator Cleo Sol. The music video for Woman marks Little Simz's directorial debut, and the song is taken from her much- anticipated fourth studio album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, the follow-up to her critically acclaimed and Mercury Prize nominated LP GREY Area . /  / Jools also welcomes a rising star from Grantham, Holly Humberstone, to perform a new song live in his studio. The hotly tipped singer-songwriter is fast gaining popularity following the release of her debut EP Falling Asleep at the Wheel, a slot supporting Lewis Capaldi at Wembley last year and her runner-up position on the BBC's Sound of 2021. /  / Also returning to the show is Scandinavian electro-pop princess Sigrid who will treat us to a track from her forthcoming second album, filmed in her hometown of Oslo, Norway. Sigrid made her debut on the show back in 2017 with her breakthrough single 'Don't Kill My Vibe' and has been spending the last year in.

Jools chats to British legend Joan Armatrading. Her 50-year career includes classic songs like Drop the Pilot and Love and Affection, and her new studio album Consequences - her 22nd - is one of her most intimate and direct yet. As top picker this week, Joan shares her favourite performances from the Later... archive, including Tinie Tempah, The Ting Tings and Skepta, plus a couple more surprises. /  / Also returning to the show are Tyneside art rockers Field Music, who perform a number from their recently released eighth studio album Flat White Moon, filmed at the Empire Theatre in their native Sunderland. The band, fronted by brothers Peter and David Brewis, treats us to a rendition of the track No Pressure, the video for which highlights the prolific songwriters' witty sense of humour as they take the audience on a 'How to' tutorial for making a Field Music hit. /  / And making their debut on the show this week are LA-based group Gabriels, made up of singer Jacob Lusk and producers Ari Balouzian and Ryan Hope. Filmed in Los Angeles, they perform the title track from their debut EP Love and Hate in a Different Time, which gives a perfect taster of their genre-defying sound that displays influences of gospel music pulled together by the distinctive voice of Jacob, who has performed supporting vocals for the likes of Diana Ross and Beck.

Jools welcomes comedian, writer and music lover Romesh Ranganathan, who is best known for his show The Ranganation as well as hosting Have I Got News for You and presenting his own music podcast Hip Hop Saved My Life, with its most recent series featuring guests such as Dizzee Rascal, Lianne La Havas and Chuck D. Romesh delves into the Later archive to unearth some of his favourite performances from the show. /  / Making her performance debut on the show is bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer Emma-Jean Thackray, who is best known as a key artist and trumpet player on the London contemporary jazz scene. Filmed at the Round Chapel in Hackney, Emma-Jean will be performing her new single Say Something, the first track to be lifted from her forthcoming debut album Yellow, which will be released via her own Warp Records-affiliated label Movementt. It's a record she says she approached 'by trying to simulate a life-changing psychedelic experience.' /  / Also returning to the show and filmed at the Real World studios in Bath is the legendary Van Morrison, who shares a number from his recently released 42nd studio album Latest Record Project Volume 1, a double album of 28 new songs that sees the king of Celtic soul write a straight-talking commentary on contemporary life and delve into his ongoing love of blues, R&B, jazz and soul.

Jools welcomes grime originator, rapper and songwriter Kano, fresh from his groundbreaking performance at Glastonbury Festival's Live at Worthy Farm as well as filming the latest series of hit Netflix series Top Boy, which sees him dust off his acting shoes to reprise the role of Sully. Having made his Later debut in 2007 performing with Damon Albarn, Kano has since performed twice on the show and sifts through the archives to share his favourite performances through the years. /  / Two Later debuts finish the series, starting with Sheffield's Rebecca Taylor aka Self Esteem, who began her musical career as one half of indie duo Slow Club and has since released her acclaimed debut solo album Compliments Please in 2019 followed by her 2020 EP Cuddles Please. She performs her latest single I Do This All The Time, a part-spoken-word ode to all the frustrations and societal norms that cloud expectations of 'correct' womanhood. /  / And another debut comes from southeast London's rising contemporary soul and funk purveyor Joel Culpepper, who performs a number from his forthcoming debut album Sgt Culpepper that explores the power of community, mingling self-reflection with wider social commentary and a collaborative record that he says was 'inspired by how the UK jazz and grime scene supports each other'.
