Pip Millett – Hard Life
13 August, British songstress Pip Millett will put out her new EP Motion Sickness. Following recent single Running, Hard Life is the second track to be released in anticipation. The song mixes gospel, old-school soul and a bit of modern R&B, the same way Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill did. What’s not to like about a song that incorporates organ, guitar bass and a little bit of horns?
Talking about the single, the singer says: “Hard Life is about exactly that. It’s about moving through unresolved trauma and understanding that ignoring those things doesn’t mean they go away. It takes learning and listening to yourself and lots of patience.”

Wildcard (week 30):
Belot – VIP
Maya Belot, professionally known as Belot, doesn’t only like huge glasses. More importantly, she’s fond of big tunes. Following her debut EP Electric Blue (2020) and last year’s EP Harmless Fun, she’s entered phase 3 of her career.
This year, the London-based talent released Cool Whip and Get This (co-written by Oscar Lang). But third time’s definitely the charm. VIP is an energetic example of her ‘awkward pop’ sound, and the title might as well prove to be prophetic. Influenced by the likes of Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and Eminem, VIP is an upbeat fun track. Belot explains it’s about ‘glitz, glamour, success, redemption. It just had to be. The story of becoming the biggest artist one could be’.
Clocking in under the 2-minute mark, it’s quirky, bright, catchy and groovy. Following support slots with CBM favourites Ellie Dixon, Pip Millet, Caity Baser and others, this is the track that’ll have her stand on her own feet. Sounds like a hit to me!
VIP by Belot is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. That means it’ll be featured prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.
