Confetti by Dolly Style

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Sweden's sugary sweet girl group Dolly Style have released their third single of the year and this one is called "Confetti." This follows thier previous singles "Yihaa" and "Pom Pom." If you are unfamiliar with the group, check out our history of the group at the bottom of this post.


"Confetti" is another fun pop song that will have you clapping your hands and stopping your feet. The energy is high and the beat is fast. The chorus is catchy, but of course we would expect that from the group. We've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Confetti" was written by Caroline Aronsson, David Lindgren Zacharias, Herman Gardafve, Melanie Wehbe, Mikeala Samuelsson, and Patrick Jean. It was produced by Herman Gardafve. Sadly, it isn't available on digital outlets to purchase. But it is on streaming! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


Sayonara,

There's Something About You by Heaven 17

Dear Poptastic Readers,

The English group Heaven 17 are back with a new single called "There's Something About You." If you aren't familiar with the group, the trio started in the early 80s after 2 of their members left the group Human League. Heaven 17's biggest hits were in 1983 with "Temptation" (UK #2) and "Come Live With Me" (UK #2). They are currently a duo now.


"There's Something About You" is a mid-tempo song with a lovely melody. The music has a lot of elements that make listening to it very interesting. Glenn's vocals sound great. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"There's Something About You" was written by Berenice Scott, Glenn Gregory, and Martyn Ware, who produced the track. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Umm Bop by Crystal Waters x ManyFew

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Crystal Waters and ManyFew have released their third single of the year, and the new song is called "Umm Bop." This follows their previous two singles: "You & Me" and "Big Bite."


"Umm Bop" is a delightful dance pop song with a chorus that is a bit of an earworm. Crystal powerfully commands the melody of the verses with ease. The music is a bit reserve for a dance pop song and we are digging it. We've added the audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist.


"Umm Bop" was written by Crystal Waters, Carl Jacob Andersson, and David Victor Andersson. It was produced by ManyFew. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


Come on down,

Feelings Gone by SG Lewis featuring London Grammar

Dear Poptastic Readers,

English artist SG Lewis has a new song out with London Grammar called "Feelings Gone." This is SG's third single of the year as we featured "Back Of My Mind" in May, and "Sugar" featuring Shygirl in July.


"Feelings Gone" is a lovely chill dance track with steady beat and dreamy vocals from London Grammar. This song doesn't follow a recent trend of pop songs under 3 minutes, instead it clocks in at almost 5 minutes allowing you to get lost in the dreaminess. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Feelings Gone" was written by Dan Rothman, Dot Major, Hannah Reid, Jay Mooncie, and SG Lewis. It was produced by SG Lewis, London Grammar, and J Moon. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

I Moved On by Jupiter Pulse featuring D-Shaz

Dear Poptastic Readers,

We recently highlighted a new song called "Sábado Noche" from Jupiter Pulse featuring Inga's Affairs, and now Jupiter Pulse has released a new song called "I Moved On" featuring D-Shaz, who is a French artist. Usually, Jupiter Pulse's songs are in Spanish, but this one is in English.


"I Moved On" is an emotional pop song about the reflecting on a former bad relationship, but now they have healed and moved on. The music has a dance beat, but it is reserve. Very chill. The vocals are quite lovely. We've added the audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"I Moved On" was written by Juan Pedro Pérez Gallego and Leif-Erik Johansson. It was produced by Juan Pedro Pérez Gallego. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Support the artist by buying their songs. We've added the regular version to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


Barcelona summer,

Singapore by Girls Aloud

Dear Poptastic Readers,

UK girl group Girls Aloud have released a new-ish song called "Singapore." It was originally recorded for their third album Chemistry in 2005, but the song wasn't released. The demo was actually released on a Limited Edition of The Sound of Girls Aloud on a bonus CD. Now the group is reissuing their third album for its 20th anniversary, and a new version of "Singapore" has been released ahead the reissue. The new version is called Definite Version.

Fan-made cover by Kallum

If you are not familiar with Girls Aloud, then definitely check out their amazing discography. One thing to note is that one of their members, Sarah Harding, died in 2021 at age 39 due to cancer. Last summer, Girls Aloud did their first tour without Sarah, but they had lots of images and vocals including Sarah. The new single is no different. It includes vocals from Sarah that weren't actually on the demo version. We think the song is quite lovely. We've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Singapore" was written by Brian Higgins, Jon Shave, Lisa Cowling, and Miranda Cooper. It was produced by Xenomania. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


Whole lotta history,

Sorrow Town by RetroPopBoy

Dear Poptastic Readers,

New independent artist alert: We have just found out about RetroPopBoy, who is an artist from England, but is originally from Spain. He has a new single out called "Sorrow Town" and it is a remake of a 1998 song by the band Peach.


RetroPopBoy's version of "Sorrow Town" transforms the trancepop original to a uplifting throwback to the Stock Aitken Waterman era of pop. The lyrics are a bit reminicent of "Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat. The music video was filmed in RetroPopBoy's hometown in Spain and it shows how he left Spain as a young man to start a new life in England. Check it out in our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Sorrow Town" was written by Pascal Gabriel, Lisa Lamb, and Paul Statham. It was produced by Project K. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

We've added 3 mixes of "Sorrow Town" to our 2025 Remix Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

And I won't surrender,
