Shotgun by Rebecca & Fiona

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Happy Friday! Rebecca & Fiona have released another single this year! Hooray! The new single is called "Shotgun" and it follows their awesome summer single "Drugstore Lovin."

The new song is a bit downtempo for them. But most impressive in their vocal deliveries here. They both sound amazing and the heartfelt lyrics show their yearning for wanting change. Have a listen and watch the lyric video ...

Young & Restless by Dolly Style

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Need some fun news? Our guilty pleasure Swedish trio Dolly Style have a new single out called "Young & Restless." You might notice that there is also a new Dolly. At this point, they are going through members faster than the Sugababes. But no matter, we love them anyway!

So the new song "Young & Restless" is a catchy affair that sounds like Katy Perry must be super jealous that she isn't singing the song. It is less hi-nrg with the beat dropping out now and then. And they lyrics are super cute! 

Dolly Style are: Molly (aka Mikeala), 

Polly (aka Fannie), and Holly (aka Alexandra)

As far as we know, there isn't a video as of yet. Even so, they blocked their last video from being viewed in the USA. Boo! Here is a performance of them singing the new song on Swedish TV ...

Wasn't that fun? Which one is the new Dolly? Why she is the one with the lavender hair (Polly). I think at some point, they should just drop the wigs. No matter, we love them. They make us happy!

Lucky for you, "Young & Restless" is available on digital outlets everywhere! Go buy your copy today!

Cheers then,
—Davearama

Learning To Dance by Christie and The Dream Beats

Dear Poptastic Readers,

If you enjoyed the summer smash single "It Wasn't My Fault" by Christie and The Dream Beats, they are back with a new song called "Learning To Dance" and it is quite good!

"Learning T Dance" is a slower, more serious track that starts off sounding a little spooky until Christie's beautiful vocals come and comfort us as she sings about her heartbreak. After the first chorus, the song picks up speed as you think at any moment Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer might jump out at you. While it never becomes a full-on dance track, it is fabulous emotional pop song. Check out the video ...

"Learning To Dance" is available on iTunes and Spotify. Help support the artists by legally downloading the track. Add it to your 2016 playlist! 

Cheer then,
