Bam Bam by Dolly Style

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Sweden's sugary sweet girl group Dolly Style are back with a brand new single called "Bam Bam" and is the first music video to feature their newest member: Molly 4. Although her first single with the group was "Christmas Lights" back in December.


If you are new to Dolly Style, they are a girl group who wear pastel wigs and take on characters. Blue is Holly. Purple is Polly. Pink is Molly. The pastel wigs also help conceal the numerous line up changes over the years. So far, there have been 8 versions of Dolly Style with 4 Pollys, 4 Mollys, and 2 Hollys. At the end of this post, see the complete discography and line ups.

Now on to "Bam Bam." Dolly Style have turned up the fun on this track. We aren't sure what the lyrics are about except having a good time. The melody is nice and the chorus is an ear worm with some shout outs. The music video is cute. Have a look ...





"Bam Bam" was written by Annie Moreau, Baimz, Bellman, Caroline Aronsson, Palle Hammarlund, and Vilma Davidsson. It was produced by Bellman. We've added it to our 2022 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify. 




Cheers then,

—Davearama

Naked Love by Eric Saade

Dear Poptastic Readers,

It's been awhile since we have featured Swedish artist Eric Saade in Poptastic Confessions, but we heard his new song "Naked Love" and we quite liked it.

Lately, we've liked a lot of disco pop songs, and "Naked Love" has some soaring strings that have a disco vibe to them, but the beat is definitely not disco. Instead it is more of a trip-hop beat, which makes for an exciting first listen. The melody is quite nice and Eric sounds great. Have a listen ...


"Naked Love" was written by Eric Saade with Jakob Redtzer and Philip Strand who both produced the track. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today. We've added it to our 2022 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Please remember to use Spotify as a way to hear new music. The best way to support the artists are to buy their music. Please do so!




Cheers then,

Superstar by Darin

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Last year, we absolutely loved "Can't Stay Away" by Darin. It fact, it was #5 in our Top 100 Songs of 2021. We are happy to report he has a glorious new single called "Superstar."


Disco has made a comeback this year for sure as the last few songs we have featured have been disco pop. "Superstar" is right on par with the others. The song starts off a bit slow, but by the first chorus, the beat kicks in and melody soars. This is fun! Darin looks fab in the music video. We are loving his outfits, makeup, and nail polish. Have a look ...


Wasn't that fab? Yes, it was! "Superstar" was written by Boots Ottestad, Darin Zanyar, and Jamie Hartman. It was produced by Stuart Price, Billen Ted, and Jamie Hartman. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today. We've added it to our 2022 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Please remember to use Spotify as a way to hear new music. The best way to support the artists are to buy their music.

Back To My Rootz by Chris Tall

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Chris Tall has released another new song this year and it is called "Back To My Rootz." No, it is not a remake of the RuPaul song, but a new original song. You might remember that we featured Chris's previous single "Ridin' High" last month.

"Back To My Rootz" is a fun dance song. At times is sounds like a club stomper that bumps into a big band with an electric bass and rhythm guitar. It's a funky instrumental number for sure. Have a listen ...


"Back To My Rootz" was written Chris Tall and Niklas Marklund. It was produced by Chris Tall. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today. We've added it to our 2022 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify. You'll also hear "Ridin' High" there.

MeloDrama Queen by Lina Hedlund & Nanne Grönvall

Dear Poptastic Readers,

We have featured 3 sets of duos in the past 2 posts and here is another one: Lina Hedlund and Nanne Grönvall have teamed up for song called "MeloDrama Queen." You might remember Lina from Alcazar, and we have featured some of her solo songs, too: "Deeper Love" was #15 in our Top 100 Songs of 2019. We weren't familiar with Nanne, but she is also a Swedish artist who has most of her songs sung in Swedish.

"MeloDrama Queen" is a bold track with an edge. The verses are bit of a fast sung rap with some vocal acrobats. The music and energy of bridge and chorus remind you something of an epic Boney M song. Lina and Nanne performed the song live on Bingolotto in Sweden. Have a look here ...


"MeloDrama Queen" was written by Linnea Deb, Marie Rein, Nanne Grönvall, and Paul Rein, who also produced the track. We've added it to our 2022 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Please remember to use Spotify as a way to hear new music. The best way to support the artists are to buy their music. Please do so!
