Rebecca Bangfield is a rising Norwegian indie-pop artist known for her sharp songwriting and powerful voice. She gained traction with her 2023 EP Bundle Of Bones. The year after, she participated in ‘The Voice Norway’.

With her sharp songwriting pen and showstopping voice, she’s spent 2025 working in the studio with producers Hans Kristian Nordin (tigerstate, For You) and Preben Sælid Andersen (Death By Unga Bunga, Hajk). This resulted in a batch of great singles, two of which (Bon Voyage and New Girl) have been released in the past two months.

The third in a row, Soft Landing, is out now, and it’s an absolute beauty. A piece of fresh and catchy indie pop, it hints to luminaires like Maggie Rogers and Alice Phoebe Lou. It’s a timeless song with smart lyrics and clever punchlines.

Soft Landing by Rebecca Bangfield is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
