Magnus Bechmann – What Do You Know
Itâs been three years since Norwegian singer-songwriter Magnus Bechmann delivered the EP Loners Get Lonely Too and single Bruises. Thankfully, heâs back with another great song: What Do You Know. Itâs the first single off his forthcoming debut album.
Refreshing and vibrant, What Do You Know is an indie-pop song with hints of Two Door Cinema Club, The Wombats and Phoenix. An uplifting and well-produced track with a driving rhythm and a thumping bass. Wouldnât it be great if this kind of music was all over the radio, like it should?
Speaking about his latest offering, Bechmann said, âSituations in everyday life that are usually not a big deal, can grow totally out of proportion whilst laying awake in bed at night, unable to sleep. What Do You Know is about just one of these situations, where you find yourself in a relationship that is better to get out of than to stay in.â

Magnus Bechmann – Bruises
Letâs hope that 21-year-old Norwegian song smith Magnus Bechmann will soon give up his day job as a kindergarten teacher, so heâll have more time to write great songs. His talents were already manifest at the start of this year, when he came up with his debut EP Loners Get Lonely Too, featuring brilliant tracks like It Bothers Me.
His new single affirms his influences, that appear to range from Blur via Phoenix to Two Door Cinema Club. Bruises is another bouncy, smart slice of pure pop, spiced up with catchy guitar hooks. We want more!

Magnus Bechmann – It Bothers Me
If pop music is your thing, youâd better relocate to Scandinavia. There must be something in the water up thereâŠ
Magnus Bechmann is just another fine example of an artist (from Norway, in this case) who delivers solid three minute pop tunes with jaw dropping ease. But when you listen more closely, youâll hear the complex nature of these gems. Amazingly, Bechmann is only 20 years old and besides his work as a song smith he is a kindergarten teacher.
His debut EP Loners Get Lonely Too contains six songs (a track named Intro being the fourth track on the EP; love that). The happy tunes often have themes that are a bit more sad. My absolute favourite is EP opener It Bothers Me, that has the same punch and sparkle as many tunes by French band Phoenix. Instantly likable!

Your âAll-Timeâ Favourites (2017-2022)
The last six years, starting in 2017, I posted 10 musical recommendations per week on this blog. A total of well over 3.000 tracks, mostly by upcoming â often female (fronted) – artists from all over the world. As I explained yesterday, Carte Blanche Music is entering a new era. One in which Iâll focus my efforts on my constantly updated Spotify playlist.
For sure, that doesnât mean the blog is closing down. Itâll continue to be the home of my âbest ofâ collection (Wernerâs Weekly) on Monday mornings (CET) and my favourite new track (the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard), every Wednesday morning. Also, Iâll post the latest additions to my playlist on Saturdays. For updates, follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
No better way to round up the last six years than by publishing the Your âAll-Timeâ Favourites, a chart compiling the 500 most popular (as in best-read) Carte Blanche Music recommendations from 2017 to 2022. Youâll find the Top 25 below, but click through for the full list. My original recommendations are behind the links.
