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.

Wildcard (week 16):
Jessie Ware – Begin Again
Jessie Ware is about to release her fifth album. That! Feels Good! (which is also the title of the record, that comes out on 28 April). The long-player was preceded by two singles already, Free Yourself and Pearls. Now, there’s track #3, and it really brings out the sun. The song, Begin Again, has a bossa nova vibe, inspired by the British singer’s time spent in South America. In places, it reminds me of Stillness In Time by Jamiroquai, which can only be a good thing.
“Begin Again is where this album started”, Ware explained. “On a miserable afternoon during lockdown, (producer) James Ford zoomed (co-writers) Shungudzo and Danny Parker in Los Angeles. They were just waking up, it was already dark in London. Frustrated yet completely focused, we set about writing in a new – and unnatural – way over the internet.”
She continues: “Dreaming of human touch, escapes to Brazil, beach bodies, holiday romances, all of it! I absolutely adore this song and I’m so excited for you to hear it, to hear the beautiful production by James and horns by Kokoroko, it’s the song that I knew I wanted to make as soon as I finished (2021 single) Remember Where You Are.”
Begin Again by Jessie Ware is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. That means it’ll be featured prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.
