Wildcard (week 48):
K.Flay – Itâs Been So Long
The Carte Blanche Music crew (thatâs me) loves K.Flay. Weâve featured many of her tracks already. Shifting between pop, hip hop and electronic moods, this new one is one of her most accessible singles to date. Itâs Been So Long is an infectious feel-good song, where Kristine Flayerty sounds like an indie version of Lizzo. Gotta love it!
The artist explains âitâs about not giving a f*** and being yourself and feeling powerful in your body and mindâ. She adds that the song has âtaken on a whole new meaningâ for her after she lost hearing in one ear.
K.Flay says about the track: âThereâs that moment after heartbreak or loss or pain when you emerge from the wreckage and finally feel good again â ready to go out dancing, ready to be yourself, ready to feel handsome â and itâs like youâve been waiting all your life to get back to that place and it feels so so so good when you do get there. Itâs Been So Long is about that feeling.â
Itâs Been So Long by K.Flay is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. That means itâll feature prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.
