Wildcard (week 49):
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.
