Here at Carte Blanche Music HQ we write about circa 500 new songs per year. But that’s only a small portion of the hundreds of tunes we listen to each week. This makes that even for us it’s difficult to guess which artists we spend most of our time with. Therefore, we eagerly await Spotify Wrapped at the end of the year, for no one knows our listening habits better than Spotify. Last year, according to Wrapped, Niko Rubio was our favourite artist. We listened to her for 250 minutes. Quite honestly, that surprised us as well…

But they’re right (of course); we love Niko Rubio. We wrote about most of the singles she put out last year. And here’s another one!

Hold Me Down is her first single of 2022. Thanks to pumping guitars and an irresistible beat it’s her biggest and boldest yet. She says about the track: “Hold Me Down is my sexy New Year’s anthem. I can’t wait for you to dance in your living room and accidentally call your newest fling at 12 a.m.💕.”

Meanwhile, Rubio puts the finishing touches on her forthcoming sophomore EP, which will be out this Spring. Obviously, we can’t wait!
