This one has been in the Carte Blanche Music Spotify playlist for some time now, but I thought I’d recommend it here it as well. For this is a delicious pop tune that deserves your attention.

In her home country Belgium, Olivia Trappeniers isn’t exactly unknown. She participated in ‘The Voice Of Flanders’ in 2016, and a year later, she won radio station MNM’s talent competition Rising Star. Since then, she released quite a few singles as OT, collecting tens of millions of streams. In 2019, she broke through alongside Regi and Jake Reese, with their collaborative single Kom Wat Dichterbij (‘come a little closer’). It made Olivia the youngest singer ever to spend 28 weeks at the top of the Belgium charts. Unsurprisingly, it went on to become the country’s single of the year 2019.

Trappeniers now continues her career as Olivia, and she does so very convincingly. Her new single is a well-produced, danceable pop song of international class. The message of Can’t Break A Broken Heart is meant to be a positive one. It encourages people to keep falling in love, even after a break-up.
