Wildcard (week 17):
Sofi Tukker – JacarĂ©
You can leave it to Sofi Tukker to heat up the dance floor, and their new single is further proof of that.
JacarĂ© contains elements the American duo (consisting of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern), incorporated to great effect before. The track is dripping with a latin-inspired beat, a âcalienteâ piano and a horn(y) section. The lyrics are entirely in Portuguese. All in all, a tune that perfectly fits Sofi Tukkerâs well-documented affinity with Brazilian culture.
The song title means âalligatorâ in Brazil, but it can also define a woman in a sexual relationship. Youâll understand when you watch the accompanying video, which is as steamy as the song itself, and gives a supportive nod to the LGBTQ+ community.
The timing for this infectious stomper is impeccable, as the days are getting longer in Europe, the temperatures are rising and the sun is coming out more and more.
JacarĂ© by Sofi Tukker is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. That means itâll be featured prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.

Wildcard (week 29):
boy pablo – Be Mine
Nicolås Pablo Rivera Muñoz grew up in Bergen, Norway after his Chilean parents immigrated to the country in the 1980s. He rose to fame with his DIY-produced bedroom pop track Everytime. Five years after this break-through hit, he delivers the ultimate summer song for 2022.
Recently touring South America, he was struck by cumbia music, and began to absorb it into his song-writing. This resulted in Be Mine, which boasts percussion recorded in Chile. Boy pablo explains: âIâve been obsessed with cumbia music for a while now so it became natural for me to try writing something inspired by it. It was one of those songs I didnât expect to write, it just appeared. Itâs basically a cheeky way to approach a love interest that you know has a slight interest in you. I feel like itâs a very Latino romantic thing to do.â
The combination of lyrics in English and Spanish and its fuzzy guitars further enhance the summer vibes of the song. If Europe hadnât already been held hostage by a heatwave, this track wouldâve singlehandedly brought out the sun.
Be Mine is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, boy pabloâs third! This means itâll feature prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.
