Demi Lovato (feat. Travis Barker) – I Love Me [Emo Version]
Carte Blanche Music is all about new songs. I love to introduce you to artists you might not have heard of before, but a great new track by a well-known act deserves a recommendation as well. Either way, credibility is never an issue when I make my selections. Credibility is a subjective concept that biases the opinion of snobs, who often mistake credibility with quality (an equally subjective concept). I’m not a snob, I just like great (new) music.
Well, that was a very long introduction to the new Demi Lovato single. Or rather, a new version of her earlier single I Love Me. Last year, Travis Barker made a remix of Maggie Lindemann’s Friends Go. The former blink-182 drummer turned it into a track that didn’t sound out of place in his ex band’s catalogue. Now, he applies the same formula to Demi Lovato. His Emo Version of I Love Me turns the pop track into a driving rock song. Lovato’s ace vocals sound great on a bed of pounding drums and soaring guitars.
If Barker would be commissioned to compile a whole album full of rockified pop songs, I’d be the first to buy it.

K.Flay (feat. Travis Barker) – Dating My Dad
Travis Barker is one of the most featured artists in recent history. Only the last few years, he featured on singles by the likes of Pitbull, Machine Gun Kelly, Maggie Lindemann, The Hunna, Demi Lovato, Amy Shark, and Willow. That’s only a very selective list, to which we can now add alt-indie singer K.Flay. She a very popular featured artist herself as well, by the way.
Dating My Dad by K.Flay (feat. Travis Barker) is a great tune. Just like most tracks the blink-182 drummer is involved in, and just like most of Kristine Flaherty’s songs. In other words: this cooperation couldn’t have gone wrong. It’s an energetic rock song, where K.Flay’s funny observations are accompanied by spacey sounds, memorable hooks and of course Barker’s tight beats.
The singer says of the song: “This is basically 6 months of therapy condensed into a single song. You spend so much of your life thinking that you’re the exception, but at the end of the day, you’re just like everyone else – becoming a version of your parents or falling in love with one. Or both. (…) There are patterns in our lives and in our families that we can either choose to perpetuate or choose to stop. That’s what growing up feels like, at least to me.”
You can find Dating My Dad and four more tracks on K.Flay’s new EP Inside Voices.

Harlea – Beautiful Mess
One of my first recommendations on this blog, in January 2017, was You Don’t Get It, the second single by then 22-year-old Londoner Harlea. That was the follow-up to her incredible debut Miss You.
Since then, things have been rather quiet around her, but she hasn’t sat still. Now living in Los Angeles and London in equal measure, Harlea collaborated with über hot producers/writers the Rock Mafia (who worked with Eminem, Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber, Green Day and others before), resulting in (as a press release formulates) ‘hook laden, driving anthemic tunes that are drenched in groove and attitude’.
Beautiful Mess is only Harlea’s third single, but she obviously has a bright future before her!

The Shins – Cherry Hearts
Albuquerque, New Mexico, is well-known for its International Balloon Fiesta and the Sandia Peak Tramway, but it also has a musical legacy. Jim Morrison, Glen Campbell, Bo Diddley and Demi Lovato all lived in the city, and it’s the place The Shins call home.
When they released their album Heartworms in March, one track immediately stood out. And now, Cherry Hearts is chosen as The Shins’ new single.
Werner’s Weekly (week 39)
Demi Lovato isn’t an artist who really needs my support here, but her new single is one of the most surprising new releases of the last week. A very strong track, that certainly deserves a spot in my Carte Blanche Music 2017 playlist, featuring great new music only. The latest tracks by Maggie Rogers, Morrissey, Rat Boy, Young Gun Silver Fox and Youngr all fall in that category as well, so if you’re curious, you know where to find them. Subscribe to this list and you’ll never miss a good song anymore.
But if you’d rather have a shortlist, a convenient overview of only the best of the best new music, look no further. Werner’s Weekly is exactly that, showcasing the (in this case) eight absolute highlights of the past week, alphabetically ordered. For your listening pleasure, all tracks are available through the Werner’s Weekly player in the sidebar of this blog. I promise you 31 delicious minutes; a great start of the day.
