I've heard it on Jazz FM. It sounds modern, slightly up-tempo and has a female backing singer looping doo-do-doo.

I've been Googling it for an hour or so, but can only find old and slow versions.

Anyone please?

Have you looked on their website at the playlist/schedule? How recent was it?

I last heard it this week. I have been through their playlist endlessly but not found it.

In case anyone is interested, the version I was looking for is by Vivian Sessoms.

Uptempo Strange Fruit? What's next, a funky Funeral March?

Here's a marginally less political version. Which is the one I was searching for, in point of fact.
