Please, let’s make the Eurovision Song Contest about music again. Former The Voice finalist Essyla is the Belgian contender. In my ears, her bouncy and bass-heavy electropop entry has the potential to make a great impression.

Dancing On The Eyes by Essyla is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

In the Wildcards 2026 playlist you’ll find all of this year’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcards so far.
