On the 1^st of each month I look back upon my recommendations that you liked best. What’s particularly interesting in September, is seeing which song can we pronounced ‘Carte Blanche Music Summer Hit of 2018’, according to your tastes.

Well, that’s pretty clear… It’s Alright by Nona was the second most-liked recommendation on this blog in July already, and that very same post was best-read in August.
So, congrats Nona, for scoring the alternative summer hit of the year! If you aren’t convinced yet, please check below how she and her band played the song live on Dutch radio recently…

These were your ten favourites in August:

1. Nona – It’s Alright
2. The Revivalists – All My Friends
3. Sir Notch – Gimme That Sunshine
4. Danko – Hit Me Up
5. Barns Courtney – “99” / Good Thing
6. Gecko Turner – Un Limón En La Cabeza
7. You Me At Six – Back Again
8. Ed Struijlaart (feat. The Hornaments) – Guitar
9. The Struts – Primadonna Like Me
10. Fanclub – Leaves

All of the tracks above, and many more, can be found in my 2018 container playlist Carte Blanche Music, which I update continuously. It currently holds the over 750 best new songs of 2018 so far, almost 45 hours of great new music. Feel free to listen, subscribe and/or share if you like!
