#15 of 2023

Dear Poptastic Readers,

 

If you are just joining us, we have been counting down our Top 101 Songs of 2023 with a new song every day. Tomorrow we feature the next song in the countdown.

 

#15 in Poptastic Confessions Top 101 Songs of 2023 is: “Love Is Blue” by Army Of Lovers featuring Olya Polyakova. Click on the name of the song to see what we first wrote about it. You also read about the history of the group with our album review of Sexodus.


 

Written by: Alexander Bard, Dominika Pecynski, Jean-Pierre Barda, and Anders Hansson

Produced by: Anders Hansson

 

Why: “Love Is Blue” was Army Of Lovers glorious return after 9 years! It was great to have them back. We had never heard of Ukrainian singer Olya Polyakova (Оля Полякова) before, but what a voice! Almost everyone we played this song for this year mentioned that it sounds like ABBA, and that is not a bad thing. 

 

Live performance: Sadly, there is no official video, but there is a fun lip synced performance on Swedish TV where Jean-Pierre, Dominika, and Alexander can't stay in time. It really is part of their charm. See it on our 2023 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on YouTube.
