An artist can work hard and make brilliant music, but still not succeed in building a career. Some hard working brilliant musicians however, get just that extra push their career needed. Like boy pablo, a Norwegian group of high school best friends, fronted by 19-year-old Pablo Muñoz. Last year, YouTube unexpectedly featured the video for their early single Everytime on the site’s ‘Recommended’ tab. The clip quickly racked up millions of views and now sits comfortably at 6 million.

Hopefully the time to capitalize that early success comes with the band’s new single. Losing You is another great slice of dreamy yet sunny pop, where Muñoz addresses his insecurities about a rocky love.

This week, Losing You by boy pablo is the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, which means it’ll feature prominently at the top of the blog. For a glimpse of its predecessors, check the Wildcards 2018 playlist.
