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.

Wildcard (week 19):
Nu Genea – TienatĂ©
Nu Genea is the artistic project of Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina. Itâs got a few ear-catching qualities: the duo combine disco, funk, boogie, electronic, dub, jazz, folk and much more into heavenly grooves, and the lyrics are sung in their Napoli tongue by Fabiana Martone. New single TienatĂ© bears all of these hallmarks.
Martone is a white singer, but she makes the track sound like it was produced in Africa. Obviously, the multi-coloured musical backdrop adds a lot to this notion as well. On this track, Martoneâs powerful voice is crossed with synths, strings, and multiple musical influences from south of the Mediterranean Sea.
Following MarechiĂ , TienatĂ© is the second single to be released ahead of Nu Geneaâs long-awaited third album Bar Mediterraneo, which will be out on 13 May. The track deals with a relationship between alleged friends, in which someone borrows something⊠and then disappears. This groovy, exotic banger is sure to get the summer started.
TienatĂ© by Nu Genea is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. Itâll feature prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week!

Wildcard (week 18):
Clypso – On Our Way
Clypso is a Sydney-based producer and vocalist, whose music is as colourful as her outfits. Expect a mix of hyperactive beats, gnarly basslines and tropical inspired electronica. Prepare yourself for some African influences as well. She describes her sound as âtroppo chilli flakesâ herself.
On Our Way is Clypsoâs first new track of 2021. Itâs a real sunny one, with production duties performed by Pnauâs Peter Mayes. In a press statement, the singer says about the track: âOn Our Way is about setting off together on a love or buddy journey. An uplifting and joyful tune about being a steady rock of support till the end no matter what life throws at you. I think I channelled my inner Bruno Mars–John Legend on this one. So yeah, itâd be cool to see someone dance down the aisle to this one!â
Do you like feel-good songs with â80s pop energy, bursting with big vocals, bright percussion and catchy lyrics? Then On Our Way is the one for you!
This week, itâs the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, so itâll feature prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.
