Wildcard (week 28):
Alice Merton – No Roots
German-born Alice Merton has already conquered the countries south-east of her native land. Airplay in Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lithuania, Macedonia and Moldavia has gained her a #11 position in the European Border Breakers Chart. Now, itβs up to the rest of Europe to step in.
Merton grew up in Canada, came back to Germany at 13, but spends a lot of time in the UK as well, where her parents had gone and live. Hence the title of her debut single: No Rootsβ¦
I hope she feels at home on Carte Blanche Music though, if only for one week, for No Roots by Alice Merton is the new Wildcard! (you can find all of them in the Wildcards 2017 playlist).
