Wildcard (week 36):
Raye feat. Amma & Absolutely – Joy.
Being dropped by her major record label must have been the best that ever happened to Raye. The talent and the songs were already there, but this gave her even more drive to succeed. And boy, did she succeed! Already a live favourite, Joy. (featuring her sisters on vocals) is her swinging new single. Reassuring in many ways!
Joy. by Raye feat. Amma & Absolutely is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
