The Aces are a female quartet from Provo, Utah (US). In 2012, pre-teen sisters Cristal and Alisa Ramirez (lead vocals/guitar and drums), Katie Henderson (lead guitar/vocals), and McKenna Petty (bass) formed the Blue Aces. After being longtime friends, it didn’t take long for them to click as songwriters and musicians. Two years and two EPs later, the band name was shortened to The Aces.

With three albums under their belt, the band confidently carved out their unique space in the music scene, skillfully blending indie, pop, and rock into punchy, memorable tracks. After releasing their third album I’ve Loved You For So Long, last June, their stream count stands at 250 million.

Now, they’re back with a completely new song, Jealous, produced by Henderson. A groove-driven pop anthem with a funky guitar motif, driving kickdrums and falsetto harmonies, it’s a catchy modern funk tune. The band say about the track: “Jealous is about being the coolest person in the room. Many times that comes with adoration and envy, and we wanted to paint the picture of having unshakable confidence throughout all of it.”

Jealous by The Aces is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for the entire festive week.
