Garbage (feat. John Doe & Exene Cervenka) – Destroying Angels
While on tour with Blondie and LA punk band X, Garbage worked with John Doe and Exene Cervenka of X to write and produce Destroying Angels. The track, which Garbage describe as a murder ballad, was released as a 7” single on 23 November 2018 for Record Store Day: Black Friday. The initial physical release was limited to only 3.000 copies, but now, the song is available digitally for everyone interested.
The B-side is the band’s take on David Bowie’s 1972 classic Starman, originally recorded for American DJ Howard Stern’s all-star Bowie tribute, which aired in February 2018.
Beyond Destroying Angels, Garbage is also working on their 7th studio album. Last summer, No Horses was our first taste of where this new record is going…

Reneé Rapp – Kiss It Kiss It
Pop’s current landscape is bursting with female singer-songwriters boasting catchy tunes and bags of attitude. One of the future stars in this category is Reneé Rapp, who’s appeared here a few times already.
Her career took off as an actress. In 2018, Rapp won the ‘Best Actress’ award at the Blumey Awards, and ‘Best Performance by an Actress’ at the Jimmy Awards. This landed her a role in the ‘Mean Girls’ musical on Broadway (2019-2020). She reprised that role I the 2024 film adaptation of the play. Rapp also starred in the HBO Max series ‘The Sex Lives Of College Girls’ (2021-2024). Now, more empowered than ever, she turns her attention back to music, which is unapologetically about her own life.
Her sophomore album Bite Me is not a record for tidy emotional resolutions; it’s a unfiltered chronicle of the emotional turbulence following a breakup. It thrives on raw honesty.
Kiss It Kiss It is the album’s biggest pop moment. Although is has a groovy retro vibe, it’s state-of-the-art modern pop. The tune is steamy, vulgar, cheeky, flirtatious, and impossible not to dance to. Including a guitar lick that echoes Garbage’s Stupid Girl, it’s full of quotable lyrics. “I told her I’m from Carolina / I know a thing or two about rodeo”, for instance. Or when the singer, who came out as lesbian, recalls: “I think we almost made a baby / I mean, we can’t, but we came so close.”
Kiss It Kiss It by Reneé Rapp is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Wildcard (week 38): Kenzy Peach – I Think I Get It Now
Wildcard (week 38): Kenzy Peach – I Think I Get It Now
Kenzy Peach is a young and self-proclaimed ‘pop-rock freak’ from Portland, Oregon. Her career has only just started. She only released her debut single Come For Me on 5 January, a great way to kick off 2024. It was praised by Guitar World as ‘a delightfully spunky bit of pop’ with ‘massive hooks’. No pressure… 😉
Peach describes her work as a beacon for ‘big-hearted weirdos and unsettling women’. Her new single I Think I Get It Now is no exception. Even in the light of the early praise, it doesn’t disappoint. On the contrary, it raises the bar even further. An anthem of empowerment, I Think I Get It Now explores the disillusionment of recognizing a toxic relationship for what it truly is. Its lyrics deal with confrontation and moving beyond hurt, with the music tapping into the anger and emotional intensity of the words. The track echoes influences from No Doubt, Garbage and Metric.
I Think I Get it Now was recorded at Portland’s Jackpot Studios and produced by Zach Bloomstein with her live band (Joe O’Connor, Nicholas Boatright and K Cashion). Together, they managed to capture the raw energy that defines her sound. Punchy and energetic, it’s the soundtrack to all of your revenge fantasies.

Superbus – Aseptisé
Superbus is a French band that was formed in 1999 by frontwoman (singer, multi-instrumentalist and main songwriter) Jennifer Ayache. She took the name from the Latin word for ‘great’. Among her biggest influences are other female-fronted acts like No Doubt, Garbage, Within Temptation and Texas. However, Superbus have a sound of their own, combining rock and electropop. A style they describe as ‘pop fiction’ of ‘free pop’.
Their break-through came in 2006 with their third album Wow, which contained the hits Butterfly and in particular Lola. More hits – sometimes in French, sometimes in English – followed.
The band is currently working on its seventh album and has been teasing the first single via their socials for some time now. This week, Aseptisé (French for ‘sterile’ or ‘sanitized’) finally came out. It’s one of Superbus’s trademark sophisticated pop-rock tracks. A funky guitar and a sing-along chorus which simply repeats the title to great effect, makes this an ultra catchy song. This will undoubtedly go down very well live.
‘Superbe’ indeed!

RoseeLu – Got Me Feeling Like This
RoseeLu – Got Me Feeling Like This
Always doing things her own way, RoseeLu has always been a loner. Knowing that, you won’t be surprised she released her first two singles via the DIY route. Those two tracks were enough for Universal Denmark to discover her. They must have promised her big things, for almost contrary to her nature, she decided to sign with the largest record company of the world. Quite honestly: it will be hard for the label not to deliver on its promises. RoseeLu is a huge talent and a potential superstar. All the label has to do, is tell the world about her.
I’ve been praising her major label debut, Playing Alone, extensively last March. Got Me Feeling Like This is only the third Universal release from the 20-year-old Copenhagener. The opening notes bear some resemblance to Top Of The World by The Carpenters, while RoseeLu probably doesn’t even know the song. The rest of the track however has more of a ‘90s feel than the sound of the ‘70s.
Got Me Feeling Like This is an energetic tune, thanks to driving guitars, and a four-to-the-floor beat that could’ve been programmed by Butch Vig for a Garbage hit. Garbage the band, that is. During the first 40 seconds, the song is rather understated, but along the way it builds into a euphoric chorus. Throughout, RoseeLu’s vocals have a Billie Eilish-like nonchalance, but with more of a sparkle to it. This might very well be the voice of the next generation.
About the lyrical content, the singer says: “Although I’m still rather young, I’ve experienced being madly in love. I’ve also experienced the type of love where you end up losing yourself and lack the ability to be true to your own values. And even though it’s a hard farewell, sometimes you just have to do it in order to return to yourself again. This song was made only with the intention of letting these feelings go – make them free and give them the space they need.”
Lastly, one piece of advice: with a huge international career at her fingertips, it might be time for RoseeLu to start communicating via her socials in English. Could someone please forward this tip to her? Thank me later 😉

Favvkes – Black Dove
Now that’s what I call promising. Favvkes (pronounced as ‘fox’) is an exciting, emerging Canadian artist and songwriter of the hard-hitting kind. If you like to pigeon-hole (and don’t we all?), think Garbage meets Paramore. In other words: ‘90s nostalgia meets 2020 attitude. And 2020 subjects as well, for on her upcoming debut album, she doesn’t shy away from sensitive topics like mental health. Her songs deliver strong messages on what it means to deal with social anxiety, depression, acceptance and inclusivity. Besides that, Favvkes (real name: Erica Schiopu) aims to become a strong advocate for the LBGTQ+ community.
Black Dove is only her first single. Favvkes explains: “I found inspiration for my debut single in my journey through life. Getting through all the hardships and using them as fuel for my success and growth as a person. It’s about taking all that pain, and turning it into love, ‘cause what else are we going to do to survive?”
A very strong debut by an artist that’s worth following!
