Wildcard (week 17):
Sofi Tukker – Jacaré
You can leave it to Sofi Tukker to heat up the dance floor, and their new single is further proof of that.
Jacaré contains elements the American duo (consisting of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern), incorporated to great effect before. The track is dripping with a latin-inspired beat, a ‘caliente’ piano and a horn(y) section. The lyrics are entirely in Portuguese. All in all, a tune that perfectly fits Sofi Tukker’s well-documented affinity with Brazilian culture.
The song title means ‘alligator’ in Brazil, but it can also define a woman in a sexual relationship. You’ll understand when you watch the accompanying video, which is as steamy as the song itself, and gives a supportive nod to the LGBTQ+ community.
The timing for this infectious stomper is impeccable, as the days are getting longer in Europe, the temperatures are rising and the sun is coming out more and more.
Jacaré by Sofi Tukker is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. That means it’ll be featured prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.
