Skott is a young Swedish artist, surrounded by mystery. She grew up in a community of folk musicians and only came in touch with pop music at a later age. Once she started to make her own music, she combined the two and added a classical touch to it all.

In October last year, Skott’s single Amelia was my record of the week. Now, she repeats that feat with her new single Mermaid. A track she started working on three years ago already, but that only recently found its final form. It was worth the wait…

Mermaid by Skott is this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard (all of which you can find in the Wildcards 2017 playlist)!
