Over seven and a half minutes long, Mike by @sheilaandthekit is a monster track. Made for the dance floor, not for the radio, obviously. In the long, instrumental mid-piece the duo go completely bezerk to great effect.

In this case, size *does* matter! https://t.co/NVRTp7XqSW

For their new single Kapow, @MadamePBand don’t waste any time on an intro. And less than a minute after the explosive opening chords, we hear the first guitar solo. Furthermore, the up-beat feel-good song contains a catchy sing-along chorus.

Top track! https://t.co/yawTnD2vgW

Great choice, it totally lives up to its title. https://t.co/CYJAprjFGk

Beneath My Lungs is one of the stand-out tracks on @AnaCurcin's album Differences. A wonderful piece of sophisticated pop, with a lovely piano, an inimitable drum pattern and subtle backing vocals.

I Turned 30 Yesterday is another album highlight. Check: https://t.co/TsaiEAC5t4

Never Let You Go is a @robynkonichiwa-esque song with a ludicrous catchiness, entirely played by the talented London artist and producer @_georgiauk.

Easily one of the best pop songs of the year so far, it's the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. https://t.co/0y5RmL3guR

While staying true to her beloved piano, @lillyamongc also tries out new sounds on her upcoming album Green Flash. One example is the Golden Brown-like spinet on new single Girl Like Me.

That said, it’s as epic a pop song as we’ve come to love her for. https://t.co/NF0klO8Zz0

Sitting On Stacy – Chest Hair

Hoyt Yeatman (lead vocals/guitar) and Kyle Hart (bass/vocals) met when they were in elementary school. In 2013, they formed a band named Paper. However, searching the internet for “Paper” gave people a great deal at Office Depot, but made it hard to find the band. Hence they renamed it to Sitting On Stacy, a name that occurred in a dream of Hoyts. Leland Schenck (drums) joined the duo soon afterwards.

Sitting On Stacy is a San Diego, California based rock/alternative band with a ska/surf vibe. Their new single Chest Hair could be a last salute to the summer of 2019.

Jay Som – If You Want It

Last summer, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Jay Som drove onto my radar on her Superbike. A few weeks ago, she released her third album Anak Ko (which means ‘my child’ in the Filipino language). A completely self-produced and -engineered affair.

Now, the 25-year-old (real name: Melina Dutertre) serves the next single off it: If You Want It. Equal parts pop and folk, this is a very accessible song, with a fun, psychedelic twist half a minute before the end.

Music directors and playlist curators who are up for something original should listen. If you’re the Top 40/dime a dozen type, don’t even bother and spin another boring hit…

Barns Courtney – Fun Never Ends

If you like your music upbeat, hard and uplifting, this one’s for you! Fun Never Ends is my favourite track on Barns Courtney’s new album 404. It could easily follow in the footsteps of earlier singles “99”, You And I and Hollow.

Fun Never Ends isn’t only on Courtney’s new album, it is also featured on the official soundtrack of the NHL 20 videogame. A great way to reach a huge audience!

Recommended as well:
Barns Cortney – “99”

Emma – Io Sono Bella

As a singer, Emma Marrone only uses her first name. Since 2010, she’s one of Italy’s biggest female artists, and rightfully so. Next year, it’s exactly 10 years since she rose to prominence by winning TV talent show ‘Amici di Maria De Filippi’. Coinciding with this jubilee, she’ll put out her sixth album, the follow-up to last year’s Essere Qui.

The album is preceded by her new single Io Sono Bella (‘I am beautiful’). It was written by Italian household names Vasco Rossi and Gaetano Curreri with young composers Gerardo Pulli and Piero Romitelli. A pop-rock stomper that deserves to break out of Emma’s home country.

Hecht – Besch Ready Für Die Liebi Vo Mer?

Swiss band Hecht appear to release an album every three years. Their first long-player Wer Zerscht s’Meer Gsehd came out in 2012, follow-up Adam And Eva in 2015 en their latest, Oh Boy, in 2018. But I don’t think we’ll have to wait another two years for album #4. They just released a brand-new song.

Besch Ready Für Die Liebi Vo Mer? translates as ‘are you ready for my love?’. It starts with an intro that resembles Aïcha by Khaled, before exploding into a true power pop anthem. Surely, this will do well when the band play a sold-out gig (13.000 people) at the Hallenstadion in Zürich, 26 October.

She Drew The Gun – Trouble Every Day

Louisa Roach’s musical outfit She Drew The Gun have a new single out. It’s a cover of The Mothers Of Invention’s classic 1966 protest song Trouble Every Day, written a year earlier by Frank Zappa. For this new version, Roach reworked some of the lyrics to reflect the current state of the world. Her revisions received the blessing of Zappa’s estate, who were keen to hear the song adapted to suit contemporary times.

Roach says about the song: “I heard Trouble Every Day and thought it would make a great cover. Frank Zappa wrote it based on the TV coverage of the Watts riots in LA back in the 60’s. So I rewrote some of the lyrics to reflect what I’ve seen reported on the TV in more recent times. From English riots to the Extinction Rebellion protests. It takes a look at the issues that are facing us at the moment. From the rise of the far right to the threat of climate change and the role the global media corporations play in supporting neoliberal ideology.”

Trouble Every Day is the title track of She Drew The Gun’s upcoming EP, expected to be released on 22 November.

Wildcard (week 37):
Devon – I Don’t Want 2 B Ur Friend

Devon Cassells is a 20-year-old producer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. He is inspired by artists ranging from Michael Jackson and Beck to The Neighbourhood and Twenty One Pilots. Having played the guitar in numerous bands since he was 10, he nowadays writes, records and produces his music himself.

Following his debut single Weirdo (2017), and the tracks Day Dreaming and Plastic Statues (2018), he just put out his fourth song. I Don’t Want 2 B Ur Friend is an up-tempo slice of indie pop-rock. Short (just over 2 minutes), but snappy, with a catchy chorus and an ever-flowing energy. It doesn’t happen very often I wish a song would last longer.

This week, I Don’t Want 2 B Ur Friend by Devon is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard!

In the Wildcards 2019 playlist you can find all of this year’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcards so far.

single track

Mélodie Lauret – 23h28

19. This girl is only 19 years old. And what a talent! To me, 23h28 by Mélodie Lauret may be one of the debuts of the year.

Her very first single is a musical coming out in more ways than one, and it’s utterly beautiful. If you speak French, the powerful lyrics will move you, whether you listen to them deliberately or not. Lauret doesn’t really sing the song, she speaks the words. A bit like Grand Corps Malade, whom I’m fond of as well. If you don’t speak French, there is enough to like in the overall melody. Or Mélodie, if you like. Slow beats, a sparse but effective bassline, eerie backing vocals… this is a real treat.

23h28 is a song in the best French ‘chanson’ tradition. Already picked up by a major record label, Mélodie is certainly one to watch.

Calby – The Everyday Bit

Young people embracing good old soul music, isn’t that just great? The Everyday Bit is the debut single of Calby, the stage name of Danish musician Mik Thybo. He ‘explores undiscovered territory between soul music, pop and indie rock, with songs about love, greed and anxiety’, according to his bio.

Lending its first three notes from Robert Plant’s Big Log, The Everyday Bit continues as a one of a kind song. It sounds authentic, even though it’s built around the best elements of sixties soul music.

Calby wrote and produced the song with Luke Graham bass player Magnus Larsson. They recorded the tune on an analogue 8-track recorder, which gives it a warm and nostalgic sound.
