脫lafur Arnalds looks for the silver linings in sound with musical selections based around hope, including a Safe Haven from actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

Join Icelandic composer and pianist 脫lafur Arnalds for another hour-long musical journey that seeks to find that elusive feeling of calm.

In this week鈥檚 episode, 脫lafur looks for the silver linings in sound with a selection of songs inspired around the theme of hope. He reflects on how music can often provide the little glimmers of hope that you need to get through the toughest of times, and shares tracks by the likes of Alice Coltrane, Sigur R贸s and JFDR.

Plus the British actress and UNHCR goodwill ambassador Gugu Mbatha-Raw transports us to her Safe Haven, the place she feels the most calm - her bath.
