MisterWives – Where Do We Go From Here?
*SONG SNACK*
Still an adventurous indie-pop song, WDWGFH sounds slightly darker than their regular output.

Hyphen Hyphen – Don’t Wait For Me
High school friends Samanta āSantaā Cotta (lead vocals, guitars, synths), Romain āAdamā Adamo (guitars, keys, vocals) and Laura āLineā Cristin (bass, vocals) formed Hyphen Hyphen in 2011, while studying at the Conservatory of Nice. They describe themselves as a āqueer pop/rock bandā, bringing and defending essential messages for the LGBTQ+ community.
In 2016, they received the Best New Live Act award at the prestigious Victoires de la Musique Awards. So far, they released two albums:Ā TimesĀ (2015) andĀ HHĀ (2018). Album #3 is on its way.
In a bid to force their global break-through, the band just released the classic pop single Donāt Wait For Me. It was co-written by six-time Grammy winner Glen Ballard, who worked with Michael Jackson, Wilson Phillips, Van Halen, Alanis Morissette, Katy Perry and many more before. “It was a great privilege to be invited into the creative circle with Hyphen Hyphen”, says Ballard. “Their exuberance and talent was a great inspiration. This band has joy and energy at their core… I’m forever a Hyphenate!”
Donāt Wait For Me by Hyphen Hyphen is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This means itāll appear at the top of this blog for a whole week!
