Beat Of Your Heart by Purple Disco Machine & ÁSDÍS

Dear Poptastic Readers,

The German dance producer Purple Disco Machine has been on our radar for some time. Usually we find out about songs that are a couple of years old. Like last year we fell in love with "Fireworks" only to find out it was from 2020. D'oh! So when we could out he had a new song with Icelandic artist ÁSDÍS called "Beat Of Your Heart", we knew we had to feature it.


"Beat Of Your Heart" is definitely a synth-disco party! It has a nice melody and ÁSDÍS commands some powerful vocals. The music video takes place in a dance club with lots of magical realism moments. Check it out on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Beat Of Your Heart" was written by Andreas Josef Huber, Jan Hammele, Jenson Vaughan, Tino Schmidt (PDM), and ÁSDÍS. It was produced by Purple Disco Machine. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Dance Dance Dance by Crystal Waters

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Happy Friday! Dance music legend Crystal Waters is back with a new song "Dance Dance Dance." Hooray! 


"Dance Dance Dance" starts off sounding a bit mysterious. Crystal has an amazing way of bringing us along with the story she is telling. The chorus is a bit simple, but effective, as you can easily get the words. She also looks great in the music video. Check it out in our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Dance Dance Dance" was written by Crystal Waters and Jovonn Armstrong. It was produced by Sean Spencer and Thommy Davis. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...



Be kind,

Blame It On by Sarah von Reis

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Swedish artist Sarah von Reis is out with a new song called "Blame It On." Sarah also had a song out last September and we missed it. D'oh! That song was called "Phenomenon." We will review both songs today. Better late than never!


"Blame It On" is a piano-led ballad. There are some interesting elements here with the drums. Sarah does a great job telling the story with the haunting melody. We've added the official audio to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


And now for "Phenomenon" ...


"Phenomenon" is also an artistic slow song, but we wouldn't call it a ballad. Maybe it is. It has a chill vibe until the first chorus, and then the music gets a bit heavy. There is a music video to this song that Sara sports a cowboy hat. Check it out on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...  


"Blame It On" was written by Sarah von Reis and Michelle Amkoff, who also produced the track. "Phenomenon" was written by Beatrice Jaksch, Gabriel Pettersson, and Sarah von Reis. It was produced by Beatrice Jaksch and Gabriel Pettersson. Both songs are available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to them on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Dance Alone by Sia and Kylie

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Pop princess Kylie Minogue has teamed up with Sia for a new single called "Dance Alone." We hope this doesn't mean that Kylie has abandoned anymore singles from her latest album Tension. We can think of a few more songs ("Vegas High", "One More Time", "Story", or "The Things We Do For Love") that she could choose.


"Dance Alone" is your standard mid-tempo dance pop song. Sia takes the first verse and chorus. Kylie comes in for the second verse, while they both split the second chorus. Their vocals never really come in unison making us think that both vocal tracks were recorded separately and not together. We've added the official music video to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Dance Alone" was written by Jessie Shatkin and Sia Furler. It was produced by Jessie Shatkin and Jim-E Stack. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...




You still get me high,

Kiss Of Life by Shaznay Lewis

Dear Poptastic Readers,

All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis released another new track from her forthcoming album Pages and the single is called "Kiss Of Life." The first teaser track was "Miracle" and we featured it last month.


"Kiss Of Life" is very smooth pop RnB groove. The song has lots of long-held notes, which is really cool. The chorus is quite good. Because of the music video, we can gather that the lyrics are about her 2 children. The video shows footage of them growing up, as well as being present while their mother sings the song. Check it out in our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Kiss Of Life" was written by Shaznay, Emily Phillips, and Anthony Whiting, who also produced the track. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Thinking 'Bout Us by Dannii Minogue & Autone

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Great news! Dannii Minogue is back with more new music! This time with Autone. You might remember that she returned to music last year after a long hiatus with her single "We Could Be The One", which was #10 in our Top 101 Songs of 2023. The new single by Dannii and Autone is called "Thinking 'Bout Us."


"Thinking 'Bout Us" is a glorious bop! This uptempo song has an amazing chorus! The lyrics are empowering as it is about learning to love yourself so that she can love the relationship she wants. And Dannii has filmed a music video this time! YAY! Even though it is mostly in black and white, Dannii looks amazing. Autone is quite handsome, too! Also, there are a lot references from previous Dannii music videos like the phone and scissors, as well as a few more. We've added it to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Thinking 'Bout Us" was written by Anthony Egizii, Brett Austin, and David Musumeci. It was produced by Autone and Dn'A. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today. Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Kleptocracy by Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark (OMD)

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark (OMD) have a new song called "Kleptocracy" and it is from their current album Bauhaus Staircase, which also includes "Slow Train", which we featured last year in September.


"Kleptocracy" is a hi-nrg synth pop affair. It is also a very political song. The music is very synth and the beat will have you moving in no time. The music video is very futuristic. We've added it to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Kleptocracy" was written by Andy McCluskey. It was produced by OMD.  It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...
