Melvin Odoom sits in: Music Is The Answer!

Feel-good tunes to groove and sooth your soul. Also, Mark Radcliffe makes his debut as "the voice of the clues" in tonight's edition of guessing game 'Music Is The Answer'!

Feel-good favourites, hidden gems and fresh new tunes to groove and sooth you. Melvin, in for DJ Spoony, serves up a brilliant selection of classic soul, disco, soulful house, R&B, funk, UK garage, reggae, hip-hop, doo-wop, yacht rock and more. Our genial host also gives his New 2 Spoon record of the week another spin.

Melvin has another edition of addictive guessing game Music Is the Answer - on a Thursday! Will you be able to work out which song he will be playing later in the show based purely on the random (and often hilarious) comments people leave below the song’s official music video online? Each week, a different member of the Radio 2 presenting family voices the real-life comments, and tonight, Mark Radcliffe makes his debut! Join in the fun, text 88291, WhatsApp 0-800-288-291 or e-mail spoony@bbc.co.uk. All stabs in the dark and educated guesses are welcome!

Our genial host wraps things up with a life-affirming Midnight Feast track. Think big production, lush orchestration, and the best voices in the business!

Get in touch with the show: Text 88291, WhatsApp 0-800-288-291 or e-mail spoony@bbc.co.uk.
