Wildcard (week 5):
Confidence Man – Feels Like A Different Thing
I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ve got the impression the ‘80s influences in today’s pop music are slowly shifting towards the early ‘90s. Take Confidence Man’s brilliant new single for instance. It’s called Feels Like A Different Thing, but it sounds wonderfully familiar. It made me think of Right Said Fred’s I’m Too Sexy and Going Back To My Roots by FPI Project. House piano galore, and that gospel vibe is an absolute bliss. What a banger!
The Australian duo say about their new single: “Feels Like A Different Thing isn’t here to mess around. Two lyrics, one riff, no fuss. It’ll get your blood pumping. It’ll make your ears bleed (in a good way). It’ll steal your car and burn down your house and you’ll still say thanks.”
Following last year’s Holiday, Feels Like A Different Thing is the second track to be released ahead of the band’s sophomore album Tilt. It’s due out on 1 April, a date that’s marked in our agenda in flickering red neon lights. For starters, the new single is this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, so it’ll feature at the top of the blog for a full seven days.

Elisa – Show’s Rollin’
2022 marks the 25th anniversary of Elisa Toffoli’s debut album Pipes And Flowers. And I’m old enough to be able to say I played its singles Sleeping In Your Hand and Labyrinth a lot on the radio at the time. A lot has happened since then. For both of us… 😉
21 years after Elisa won the prestigious Sanremo Festival, the artist is about to put out her double album Ritorno Al Futuro/Back To The Future. That’s right, it’ll contain one disc in Italian and the other in English. Ahead of its 18 February release, the opening songs of both discs – A Tempo Perso and Show’s Rollin’ – have been served up as singles.
The latter is my favourite of the two. Show’s Rollin’ has a soulful vibe and gospel-like choirs. Elisa calls the song ‘the curtain that opens on Back To The Future’. She continues: “I’d like to go back to the future, but I’d like to go back in order to change something. To save what’s precious and to let go of the redundant stuff.”

Bakermat (feat. LaShun Pace) – Ain’t Nobody
God-fearing folks and non-believers are united in their praise (pun intended) of gospel music. It’s swinging, uplifting and brings a sense of euphoria and positivity to the table. What’s not to like about tracks like Go Like Elijah, Like A Prayer or even Underground?
Dutch DJ/producer Bakermat’s new single has the potential to be added to this series of classics. Ain’t Nobody is a funky feel-good dance tune, with a groove from here to eternity. And of course it features some deeply spiritual powerhouse vocals, courtesy of world-renowned singer LaShun Pace.
Speaking on the track, Bakermat says: “Since Teach Me, back in 2015, I really wanted to make a gospel inspired tune again. I absolutely love mixing genres and when I stumbled upon the original acapella by LaShun Pace I immediately began writing chords. I’m glad she approved me to release the end result! The track is a happy, cheerful and fun dance record that I’m very proud of. It is best enjoyed in sunny environments with positive people, and could be a real summer soundtrack if you’re into feel-good house music!”
Ain’t Nobody combines a piano, organ, horns, jazzy rhythms and four-to-the-floor beats. It’s the energetic lead single for Bakermat’s upcoming album. To be released this June, The Spirit will include many more funked-up church choirs and boasted spirituality to spice up your life. Hell yeah!

single track
Michelle David & The Gospel Sessions – Victory!
In the run-up to her fourth long-player, Michelle David was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thanks to a positive attitude with both a firm and courageous will, she fully recovered. Overcoming her illness became the main theme of her album The Gospel Sessions, Vol. 4.
Victory! is the key track on the record and indeed, it almost bursts with lust for life. On top of a Santana-like latin groove, David sings about her victory over fate.
The song is a good example of the overall triumphant tone of the album, which incorporates more strings, percussion, horns and even analogue synths.

Joseph Lawrence & The Garden – Goddess
Joseph Lawrence & The Garden are a London-based collective. It consists of vocalist Joseph Lawrence (obviously) and instrumentalist Gilberto ‘Gibbi’ Mallindine-Bettini. Their bio states they ‘combine the free-jazz ambition of Kendrick Lamar with the soul-inflected ambience of James Blake’. Vocally, the latter shines through specifically in their new single Goddess. Musically, it’s a complex affair, that also contains elements of gospel and rock.
Goddess is only the duo’s fourth single since debuting in 2018 with Eclipse. It’s a slow-paced, emotional song which showcases their craft song-writing and Lawrence’s impressive vocals.
