Rick Treffers – The Best Of Your Days
Rick Treffers – The Best Of Your Days
Rick Treffers is a Dutch singer-songwriter, writer, producer and musician. He’s best known from his indie-pop project Mist, which gained notoriety among tastemakers in the Netherlands and abroad, especially Spain. He even relocated to Spain, where he worked with many local artists.
With Mist now defunct, Rick Treffers continues his career under his own name. Most of his songs are melancholic and moody, but he also writes and records more up-tempo, sunny tunes. Either way, they’re instantly recognizable.
After some years of musical silence, he’ll release not one but two brand-new albums this year. One in English and one in his native tongue. The one in Dutch, Levensdrift (‘zest for life’) will only come out in the fall, but Looking For A Place To Stay will be out 6 May already. Musically, it follows the direction of his former band Mist, which is a treat. Participating musicians on the album are Alberto Montero, Antonio José Iglesias and Lourdes Casany from Spain, as well as Dutch multi-instrumentalists Mischa Porte, Léon Klaasse, Ivar Vermeulen and Jeroen Luttikhuis. The latter two were part of Mist as well.
Treffers started a crowdfunding in order to design and print the postcards that come with Looking For A Place To Stay. It’ll also enable him to master and manufacture both cd’s. Click here to see details of the campaign with all of the bonuses it has to offer, and to support this wonderful artist.
To get you in the mood, Best Of Your Days is Rick Treffers’ new single. It’s an optimistic, radio-friendly pop song, perfectly timed to accompany the first rays of sunlight.

Your ‘All-Time’ 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 – often female (fronted) – artists from all over the world. As I explained yesterday, Carte Blanche Music is entering a new era. One in which I’ll focus my efforts on my constantly updated Spotify playlist.
For sure, that doesn’t mean the blog is closing down. It’ll continue to be the home of my ‘best of’ collection (Werner’s Weekly) on Monday mornings (CET) and my favourite new track (the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard), every Wednesday morning. Also, I’ll 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 ‘All-Time’ Favourites, a chart compiling the 500 most popular (as in best-read) Carte Blanche Music recommendations from 2017 to 2022. You’ll find the Top 25 below, but click through for the full list. My original recommendations are behind the links. If you’re an artist, don’t be shy and search (Ctrl+F) to find out if you made the list. You might be surprised…
Enjoy and thanks for joining the ride so far. Follow the Carte Blanche Music playlist (click ‘♥’ in Spotify) for many more recommendations to come!
