The Air That I Breathe by Belinda Carlisle

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Great news! Pop-legend Belinda Carlisle has a new album coming out in August called Once Upon A Time In California. Today, her first single from the album was released and it it is called "The Air That I Breathe." The song was originally recorded by co-writer Albert Hammond in 1972. It was covered by Phil Everly in 1973. However, it was the group The Hollies who had a hit with it in 1974. It has been covered many times over the years by Olivia Newton-John, k.d. lang, Simply Red, many others, and now Belinda.

"The Air That I Breathe" is a mid-tempo ballad. The lyrics are about being very in love with someone. Think wedding song. Belinda gives a strong vocal perforrnance. It's a pretty faithful cover. We've added the music video to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"The Air That I Breathe" was written by Albert Hammond and Michael Hazlewood. It was produced by Gabe Lopez. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Big Bite by Crystal Water x ManyFew

Dear Poptastic Readers,

We were just jamming to Crystal Water's 1996 jam "In De Ghetto", and then saw she has a new song out with ManyFew called "Big Bite." In March, we featured her song "You & Me" also with ManyFew.

"Big Bite" is a bold house dance pop track. Crystal's vocals are on point, as usual. The lyrics are about living life to the best and taking a "big bite out of life." This is a fun uplifting track. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Big Bite" 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 ...

In de ghetto,

—Sausi O'Sullivan

I'm Into You by SoundFactory

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Legendary dance artist/producer SoundFactory is on a roll dropping another new single this year and it is called "I'm Into You." This follows the singles "Wigs Lashes Heels Mascara" and "Cocktail." All three singles are from the current album called Visions.

"I'm Into You" is a mysterious dance song. You could definitely see this playing in a dark gay club. There are vocals, but they are limited. The music is the star here. We like it. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"I'm Into You" was written by Emil Hellman. It was produced by SoundFactory. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Paradise anthem,

I Want You Back by Rikky Disco

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Over 6 years ago, Chris from Rikky Disco let us hear a demo for a song called "I Want You Back" and we knew immediately that it was amazing. We've been waiting a long time for this song to be available. Finally, the song was released yesterday and we are beyond thrilled as we love this song! Immediate download!

"I Want You Back" is pure camp! The music is shimmering lush disco and we live for it. The lyrics are a bit bittersweet as it is about a lost love and the nostalgia that surrounds it. Despite the lyrics, this just makes you feel all warm inside. We hope this glorious song gets a music video or visualizer, but until then, we've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"I Want You Back" was written and produced by Christian Jonson and Fanny Ulrika Wahlqvist (aka Rikky Disco). It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Deep in love,

—Davearama

Gwenno has released her third single this year and it is called "Y Gath." This follows "Dancing On Volcanoes" and "War." All three songs are from her forthcoming album Utopia.

"Y Gath" was written by Gwenno Saunders and Rhys Edwards, who also produced the song. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Obsession by Retropenu x Dubious Gloom

Dear Poptastic Readers,

In April, we were introduced to Finnish artist Retropenu and their song "Masquerade." They are back with Dubious Gloom for a remake of Army Of Lovers classic song "Obsession." Last week, we featured a song called "Unconventional Man" by Big Boy Therapy, who one half is Dubious Gloom.

This new version of "Obsession" is a faithful update with a disco beat. It has some elements that remind us of the Pet Shop Boys. Of course, the original is great song and this is very good cover. Great job! We've added the official visualizer to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Obsession" was written by Alexander Bard and Anders Wollbeck. It was produced by Dubious Gloom. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

I could wait night and day,
