Wildcard (week 42):
Sohni Singh – Jealous Of Canada
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, meet 26-year-old Australian-Indian artist Sohni Singh. Her indie pop melodies are making waves on the music scene with her evocative storytelling and lyricism. With a guitar in hand since she was 10, Sohni’s musical journey is a blend of fresh storytelling and raw emotion, drawing influences from Taylor Swift, Maisie Peters and Olivia Rodrigo.
Her sophomore single, 2022’s Things You Ruined, has already garnered over 30.000 streams on Spotify, showcasing her unique voice and lyrical depth. Sohni’s music resonates deeply with her growing fanbase of 1.400+ TikTok followers, who eagerly follow her every musical move. When she’s not crafting her next indie anthem, Sohni balances her musical passion with a career in medicine.
The beautiful song Jealous Of Canada is her new single. It’s a collaboration with producer Liam Quinn, the creative mind behind many of Peach PRC’s hits. This track continues her tradition of blending lyrical depth with raw, emotional storytelling.
Jealous Of Canada by Sohni Singh is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Wildcard (week 13):
Päter – 4-7 Company
In the over seven years of Carte Blanche Music’s existence, Toronto talent Päter is one of the artists we featured most. She came on our radar in 2020 with her single Sleep, and many playful and youthful songs followed. Apart from her great and very varied songwriting, she stands out with her self-created colourful videos and overall original presence on social media.
Now, make way for Päter 2.0. In the wake of her debut album 4-7 Company, to be released on 4 April, our favourite Canadian reinvented herself. She’s produced a really grown-up body of work, which – to be honest – I hadn’t expected (yet). That’s meant to be a compliment, by the way. Don’t expect an easy listening/middle of the road album, but a self-confident record by an artist who will go only one way: her own.
The variety in Päter’s songwriting remained, but she added an extra layer on top and below. Supported by some wonderful musicians, she gives us the best she has to offer. The album’s title track, her new single, is a fine example. It has a beautiful string arrangement, wonderful vocal melodies, and it manages to be melancholic and uplifting at the same time.
She should have been a super star for long. But for those who were still in doubt: Päter is ready to make the spotlights her new habitat!
4-7 Company is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
