If you like high-energy tracks, you can’t miss this one. Port Rd is Aussie duo Holy Holy’s first new music since their 2019 album My Own Pool of Light. This new single is a collaboration with South Sudan-born Melbourne-based rapper Queen P (real name: Piath Mathiang). It combines woozy, smouldering verses and big anthemic choruses.

On top of that, the track features a choir of sorts, made up of vocals submitted by fans. And it doesn’t stop there, for the accompanying video contains over 300 snippets sent in by devotees, responding to the track’s themes of collective shift.

Inspired by a quote from author Arundhati Roy about the coronavirus pandemic, Port Rd focuses on the terrifying-yet-exciting nature of change and what awaits on the other side.

This week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard is for Holy Holy (feat. Queen P)!
