Molly Grace – Bow Wow
If you like artists such as Lizzo, Renée Rapp and Chappell Roan, please meet Molly Grace Zeytoonian! Born on 6 December 2001, she’s an American singer and songwriter. Born to parents of Armenian and Irish descent, Grace is currently based in Nashville. The prolific artist released her first EP Everybody Wants To Know Molly in 2021 and has steadily built a career since then.
Hot on the heels of her first studio album Blush, released just months ago, she comes up with brand new track Bow Wow. Following an intro reminiscent of Salt-N-Pepa’s classic Push It, it catches the same vibe as Raye’s current smash Where Is My Husband! And as far as I’m concerned, it deserves to become just as big a hit as those two. Bow Wow is an extremely catchy tune, that effortlessly blends pop, funk, r&b, soul and disco.
Brilliantly timed as a birthday present for her, Bow Wow by Molly Grace is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Raye – Where Is My Husband!
Polydor Records must be at its wit’s end. Signing a talented artist like Raye, trying to force her into the wrong musical mold (clubby dance music) and subsequently having to let her go, only to see her become the star she was always meant to be. That way, both parties got what they deserved: empty hands for the label and huge success for the artist.
Raye’s high-profile departure from Polydor Records earned her the respect of other artists and music lovers alike. But the hits are a result of her talent and determination. She’s got the songs, the voice and the ability to put on a great live performance. She played many festivals last summer, where she already played her new single Where Is My Husband! (with an exclamation point, that’s right). Click here for a stunning live rendition at Lowlands, for instance.
Today, Raye released the studio version, and it’s as great as the live performances. It’s a surging blend of R&B old (blasting horns) and new (her bustling rhythms rooted in hip hop). If you like Christina Aguilera’s Ain’t No Other Man or Crazy In Love by Beyoncé, you’ll love this one.
This week, Raye claims the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. So if you’re looking for her husband, he’s prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Wildcard (week 29): Ella Eyre – Space
Wildcard (week 29): Ella Eyre – Space
Nobody knows why Ella Eyre’s 14-year career hasn’t resulted in super stardom yet. She’s had hits, solo and alongside artists like Sigala, Ty Dolla Sign, Banx & Ranx and Bastille, but her worldwide breakthrough has yet to come. However, after years of struggling in creative straightjackets, the prospects now look promising.
After her 2015 debut album, her sophomore record was 10 years in the making. During this time, she parted ways with her label and her partner. In doing so, she took back control of her career and her life. That freedom is audible on her second album Everything, In Time, which is due to come out on 21 November. Ahead of the long-player, one of the UK’s best vocalists releases her fiery new single Space.
The London-born singer and songwriter says about the track: “Space is about reaching your limits and drawing a line with humorous, but deadly-serious intentions. I had so much fun when I wrote this song because I was so done with an unwanted situation that it had actually become amusing. I wanted to create as much distance as possible for myself to heal, and even outer space didn’t seem far away enough. Sometimes you can only laugh about something hard – or write a savage song about it.”
A fierce and frank anthem about setting boundaries, Space is a powerful track. It showcases a raw and unfiltered side of Eyre, laden with a bold soul-R&B groove.
After Comeback (2014), Together (2015) and Just Got Paid (2018), Ella Eyre holds the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard once again. She will occupy a prominent Space at the top of the blog for an entire week.
