Wildcards (weeks 32, 33 and 34):
Vistas, Jacoténe and Wolf Alice
During my holidays I’ve chosen a weekly Wildcard, as always. Here they are, for the record…
Week 34
Wolf Alice – Just Two Girls
Last week, Wolf Alice released their fourth album The Clearing. They call it ‘a classic pop/rock album that nods to the ‘70s while remaining rooted firmly in the present. At its core, The Clearing is a record about arrival – not at a destination, but at a sense of peace with the journey’.
New single Just Two Girls is a great example of the songs’ timelessness. Lead by drums and piano, it’s a peppy and upbeat tune. It was inspired by singer Ellie Rowsell realising how validating the conversations with her girlfriends are to her.
Just Two Girls by Wolf Alice is the current Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Week 33
Jacoténe – Why’d You Do That?
Ever since her first demos I’ve been a fan of Jacoténe. Her voice and appearance are and so are her songs and stage presence. That’s even more remarkable if you imagine she’s only 19 years old. I’ve been following and supporting her throughout her short career, but most other media still have to join me in doing so. But they will, eventually, and this Aussie talent will become a big star in the years to come.
Following her great debut EP Untitled (Read My Mind), Jacoténe is now back with her new single Why’d You Do That? With its subtle bass and addictive percussion, it’s a brooding, soul-trip hop blend. The song is the talented singer’s third Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. Hopefully she’s third time lucky!

Week 32
Vistas – Take It From The Skies
29 August, Edinburgh band Vistas will put out their fourth album Cut The Cord. Listening to the singles off it, one can’t but conclude that the band made a huge leap forward. And their previous albums were so good already!
Take It From The Skies is the fourth and latest track to be released ahead of the album. It’s arguably the Scottish band’s best single so far. The fierce guitar riff immediately grabs the listeners’ attention, while powerful drums provide a great backbone. The only downside to the song is that it’s only 2½ minutes long. We want more! Looks like Cut The Cord will be one of the albums of the year 2025.

Jacoténe – Stop Calling
How often does it happen you fall in love with an artist just from a demo? Last year, Australian newcomer Jacoténe blew me away with the sketches of her song Don’t Let Him Say Goodbye. I was so impressed by her soulful, captivating voice, I made it the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. That was in October 2023. Now, a year later, she’s signed by major record company Sony Music, which will release her official debut EP next year.
Stop Calling is the first taste off this EP. It’s a powerful anthem of independence that deals with breaking free from toxic relationships. It explores the frustration of repeated disappointments and the courage to finally walk away.
Jacoténe says about Stop Calling: “The song is about the frustration and empowerment you feel in the face of a dishonest or manipulative relationship. It’s a situation where you’ve given another person multiple chances, but the lies and manipulation continue. It’s a song about independence and a refusal to be drawn back into an unhealthy dynamic.”
Blending relatable storytelling with undeniable musical talent, Jacoténe is a voice for the new generation. Stunningly, the Melbourne-based artist is only 18 years old. Her influences include Toots & The Maytals, Gorillaz, Adele and – you won’t be surprised – Amy Winehouse. She wrote her first song at the age of just 15 and things developed quickly from there. In 2022, Jacoténe won the Unearthed High competition of radio station Triple J. Since then, she performed live with G Flip and made her solo debut in the iconic Sydney Opera House. Also, she released four demos on streaming services.
Stop Calling by Jacoténe is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Jacoténe – Don’t Let Him Say Goodbye [Demo]
Let me start by adressing the elephant in the room. It’s hardly possible to listen to Chelsea Jacoténe (her full name) and not think of Amy Winehouse. They have the same vocal delivery and an equal amount of talent and charisma, that’s for sure. One can only hope Jacoténe has more decent people in her entourage than Winehouse had.
Stunningly, Melbourne-based Jacoténe is only 17 years old. Her influences include Toots & The Maytals, Gorillaz, Adele and – you won’t be surprised – Amy Winehouse. She only wrote her first song at the age of 15 and things developed quickly from there. Last year, she won the Unearthed High competition of radio station Triple J. Since then, she performed live with G Flip and made her solo debut in the iconic Sydney Opera House. Also, Jacoténe released three demos. A fourth one has just come out.
Yes, you read that right. Don’t Let Him Say Goodbye is ‘only’ a demo. Personally, I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s a jaw-dropping track that’s sure to induce goosebumps. Speaking with Purple Sneakers, she says it’s a song ‘about the feeling of regret and confusion during the process of letting someone go’.
Don’t Let Him Say Goodbye by Jacoténe is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
