About The Moment
Retired quarterback Kurt Warner knows about getting a second chance at getting one's dream job. He went from working in a grocery store to being a starting quarterback in the NFL in a five-year period, eventually earning multiple MVP awards and a championship ring. So he's the perfect host for this reality series that gives people another go-around to realize their dreams and rewrite their life stories in the process. In each episode, Warner surprises someone with the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance to pursue the career they've always wanted but never achieved. The subject leaves his home and family behind to be mentored by an expert in the chosen field -- including race car driving, captaining a sailboat in the America's Cup and conducting an orchestra -- in preparation for the interview of a lifetime. In the end the person must decide whether to accept the job, if offered, or go back to the life he has had all along. … MORE

The Southampton-born singer already has a devoted fanbase, dubbed " Slaysers" and made headlines after
Baser is joined by Cmat - dubbed " Ireland's answer to Dolly Parton" by The NME thanks to her whip-smart, emotionally-revealing country-pop songs.
There's also a strong showing for British soul and R& B, led by Oxford-born Stevie Wonder fanatic Elmiene.
The 22-year-old had a breakout moment in 2021, when his song Golden was chosen to soundtrack Virgil Abloh 's final show for Louis Vuitton .
The Show took place just Two Days after Abloh's tragic death, and Elmiene's mournful, nostalgic ballad seemed to be a tribute to The late fashion designer.

Another artist referencing classic R& B records of The 1960s and 70s is Olivia Dean .

That track was Strangers - a sinuous drum and bass anthem about disposable dating. Her follow-up single, Paris, has just been " tune of The weekend" on Radio 1 .
