Raye feat. Amma & Absolutely – Joy.
Being dropped by her major record label must have been the best that ever happened to Raye. The talent and the songs were already there, but this gave her even more drive to succeed. And boy, did she succeed! Already a live favourite, Joy. (featuring her sisters on vocals) is her swinging new single. Reassuring in many ways!
Joy. by Raye feat. Amma & Absolutely is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

The Heavy – I Feel The Love
Put a big red cross in your agenda to mark 21 April. That’s the date The Heavy will release their sixth album, Amen. You might want to set your alarm as well, just to be sure. For a new album by this British quartet always turns out to be a true ‘event’. Especially since it’s three and a half year since they last put out new music. The long-player was produced by Tchad Blake, who worked with everybody from Crowded House and Pearl Jam to Sheryl Crow and The Black Keys.
I Feel The Love is the band’s new single. In good The Heavy tradition, it’s full of energy. The song combines rock, funk, soul and – first and foremost – a healthy dose of gospel. As a result, it’s a super swinging affair that soothes the mind and spirit. An ultra American sound for a band from the European continent. Praise The Heavy!
Speaking about the track, front man Kelvin Swaby says: “The world feels as if it’s burning down at times and that it’s being torn apart by divisive agendas and evil personality traits. This is a solid reminder that as challenging as that is and may feel from day to day, we feel and will always believe, in Love. Always and forever.”
This week, we totally feel the love for The Heavy’s new single. It’s the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. That means it’ll be featured prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.
