. @kakkmaddafakka’s new single Baby is as upbeat, catchy & energetic as ever, with fat drums and a driving piano underpinning the sing-along lyrics. The well-crafted feel-good kind of song radio used to fall for.
It's the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard! http://bit.ly/CBMkmf5

Last week, Hoshi announced her sophomore long-player will come out in 2020.
Her new single Amour Censure is a song that denounces homophobia. ‘There’s no censored love / There’s only true love’, she sings. bit.ly/CBMhoshi2
KAKKMADDAFAKKA’s new single Baby is as upbeat, catchy and energetic as always, with fat drums and a driving piano underpinning the sing-along lyrics. The well-crafted, feel-good kind of song radio used to fall for (and they still should!).

If you enjoy The Cure or, more recently, PALE WAVES, you should try Lorelei's dark, passionate and catchy mix of shoegaze and dream-pop as well.
Skylight is only their second single. They recorded it with Lachlan Mitchell of The Jezabels. bit.ly/CBMlorelei

Keepthingscasual by North Parade is an up-tempo pop/rock song full of hooks and with an infectious chorus. It brings The Wombats to mind, which is never a bad thing.
One can hear the band had fun recording it, and you’ll surely have fun listening to it. bit.ly/CBMnorthparade
French nu-disco queen Corine chose the title track of her album Un Air De Fête as her next single.
As the new title Un Air De Fête À Tokyo gives away, the single version is sung in Japanese. But for those who listen first and foremost to the song as a whole, it’s still the same fun track it always was.

Already a streaming success, Fitz & The Tantrums just released a radio edit of their single I Just Wanna Shine.
With radio on board as well, this could very well be a new smash for the band. bit.ly/CBMfitztantrums
Validate Me by Peggy Sue is a folky rock song, with a fresh lead melody, backed with fuzzy guitars.
It will appear on the London duo’s next album Vices. Released on 21 February 2020, it will be their first long-player in 6 years’ time. bit.ly/CBMpeggysue
Something I Should Do is the first single off Nada Surf's next album. A delicious rock song with spacey synths and, most importantly, a spoken word section that reminds of their hit Popular.
Nada Surf has come full circle. How about radio doing the same? bit.ly/CBMnadasurf
