Last week a great diversity of new music saw the light. There were very good releases in every thinkable genre. After applying heavy criteria, I added the likes of Chvrches, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Hozier, The Kooks, Rita Ora, and The Vaccines to my Carte Blanche Music playlist on Spotify, alongside a host of emerging artists you probably haven’t heard of before. And Jennifer Lopez as well. Listen to her new single Limitless without prejudice and you’ll hear it’s a really good song.

And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Below, you can find my ‘best of the best’ selection Werner’s Weekly, your compass to the music that matters. Via the links you can access my original recommendations and you can listen to all six of the tracks via the Werner’s Weekly player in the sidebar. Here you go:

• Jonas Brøg feat. Laura Mathilde – I Think Of You I Cry (Wildcard this week)
• Jade Bird – Love Has All Been Done Before (Wildcard last week)
• 1010 Benja SL – Ultimaybe
• Audio Adam – Emma Watson
• Hollydays – Minuit (La Baie Noire)
• Moscow Apartment – Orange

For more great new music, follow the constantly updated Carte Blanche Music playlist.
