My favourite track on @beabad00bee's debut album is Charlie Brown. It’s a dark song about auto-mutilation. But it’s also a driving song, full of energy. Explosive, in a @Nirvana kind of way.

Epic stuff by a very promising, only 20-year-old artist. Check: https://bit.ly/CBMbeabadoobee3

New single Wish I Could Be Your Girl is only @kalphson's second ever. It's a dreamy alternative pop song that grabs your attention upon first listen.

Produced by Jesse Munsat, it tells an intimate tale she wrote only recently. Read more and listen here: https://bit.ly/CBMkristiane

Anti Breakup Song by #Dopha is another fine pop single with an edge. It’s about how difficult it can be to look up and just go on when things don't go as planned.

Both lyrically and musically, the song references @britneyspears, @Cardigan_Band & @garbage. https://bit.ly/CBMdopha2

. @eandthed are back with a brand-new song, co-written by @sarah_aarons and John Hill.

As hinted by the title Sentimental, it’s a song with a somewhat nostalgic feeling to it. Musically, it brings us back to the indie rock of the ‘90s and early ‘00s. https://bit.ly/CBMelizadelusionals3

On @ChateauChateau_'s new single Hey There, the music is as dark as the lyrics. It’s a melancholic ballad about the struggles of choosing for short-term comfort over long-term consequences. A popular way of life nowadays, alas.

Their beautifully blending, slightly distorted harmonies are a signature part of #Rooue's sound. The razor sharp and up-to-date production does the rest.

Combining electronic dark pop with old-school R&B, What You Want is the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard! https://bit.ly/CBMrooue

One can hear the fun @LizstokedStokes are having while playing their songs. Take their new single Mars, The God Of War, f.i., a well-crafted, driving rock song.

The clip was directed by long-time collaborators Callum Devlin & Annabel Kean of @SportsTeam_. https://bit.ly/CBMthebeths

In their collaborative single Spa, the beats and verses are trademark @sofitukker, while the chorus has all the right sing-along ingredients of an @iconapop song.

Result: a radio-friendly dance track that will set fire to both dancefloors and airwaves. https://bit.ly/CBMiconatukker

Close To You by #BetterPerson is based on a @prince-like drum pattern, while his timbre and way of singing bring the late @TalkTalkBand frontman Mark Hollis to mind.

Great references, which make for a throwback to sophisticated ‘80s and ‘90s pop. https://bit.ly/CBMbetterperson

single track, wildcard

Wildcard (week 13):
The Gift – Big Fish

March 29th, 2017

I’m so looking forward to The Gift’s new album Altar, that is set to appear in a week and a half! Producer Brian Eno and mixer Flood were involved, so what could possibly go wrong? And each of the three tracks that have been released off it so far, was great, so my expectations are sky high…

The third time’s lucky, for The Gift’s latest single Big Fish is next week’s Wildcard. This means it will feature prominently at the top of Carte Blanche Music for a whole week. Not to be missed, and to be enjoyed over and over again. Cheers!
