Wildcard (week 51):
beabadoobee – She Plays Bass

There’s nothing wrong with Beatrice Laus’ real name. But her artist name beabadoobee is genuinely swinging. So far, the 19-year-old London singer-songwriter’s musical style has mostly been pigeon-holed as ‘bedroom pop’. A description that relates more to technical issues than to content, in my opinion. Nevertheless, more and more artists pop up in this category. Time for beabadoobee to move on…

You’re right when you presume her single She Plays Bass to feature a dominant bass line. This, along with a shift towards ’90s indie-rock, gives the song a nostalgic, New Order kind of vibe. However, according to a press release, it was inspired by Sleater-Kinney and The Breeders. No complaints there…

She Plays Bass was first released four months ago. Now, with a BBC Sound Of 2020 nomination in the pocket, it gets a new round of promotion. High time this great track became the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard!

In the Wildcards 2019 playlist you can find all of this year’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcards so far.
