Wildcard (week 49):
King Princess – Fantastic (from ‘Arcane League Of Legends’)
American singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist King Princess, born Mikaela Straus, is having a monumental 2024. Not as much for the quantity of her output, but certainly for the quality of it. Just like her Steely Dan cover Dirty Work earlier this year, her new single Fantastic is this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. The track is featured in the final act of ‘Arcane League Of Legends: Season 2’.
Arcane is one of Netflix’s most successful animated series ever. The Emmy-winning series is based on the iconic video game League Of Legends. Season 1’s soundtrack has amassed over 5,6 billion global streams since its release in November 2021 and maintains over 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. The soundtrack to Season 2 builds on this phenomenal success, with 22 original compositions that were crafted for pivotal moments in this season’s episodes. Featured artists include Twenty One Pilots; Stray Kids; Young Miko and Tom Morello; Mike Shinoda and Emily Armstrong of Linkin Park; Ashnikko; Freya Ridings; Imagine Dragons feat. JID; Royal & The Serpent; Stromae and Pomme.
The best track of them all however, is King Princess’ Fantastic. A melancholic song with atmospheric synth production and soulful vocals, totally delivering on its title.
Fantastic by King Princess is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
