Legs (Keep Dancing) by Vanessa Williams

Dear Popastic Readers,

Vanessa Williams is out with a new song called "Legs (Keep Dancing)" and it is quite good. You probably know Vanessa best as being an actress, but she had some amazing tunes in the 90s with songs like "Dreamin'", "Running Back To You",  "The Comfort Zone", her mega-hit ballad "Save The Best For Last", "Love Is" (with Brian McKnight), "The Sweetest Days", and the theme for the movie Pocahontas. Her last album was in 2009, so welcome back to music!


"Legs (Keep Dancing)" is an upbeat happy song about coming back. It sounds as it were written exactly for her. Vanessa sounds great. She shows that she still has in in the music video. Watch it in our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Legs (Keep Dancing)" was written by Chantry Grant Johnson, Kevin Todd Jones, and Kjersti Samantha Long. It was produced by Chanty Johnson and Kipper Jones. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Honey Boy by Purple Disco Machine & Benjamin Ingrosso featuring Nile Rodgers & Shenseea

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Swedish artist Benjamin Ingrosso has been performing a song called "Honey Boy" for sometime now (check out this awesome performance from last August), and he is finally releasing this amazing song with German producer Purple Disco Machine, featuring American legend Nile Rodgers, and Jamaican artist Shenseea.


"Honey Boy" is a fun, funky bop with strong elements of disco. Benjamin does a great job on the vocals, Shenseea provides some smooth backing vocals, Nile gives his signature funky guitar sound, and Purple Disco Machine ensures that we all have a good time listening to it. There is a music video, and we thought Benjamin might not be in it when it started, but just wait because he does show up. Check out the music video on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Honey Boy" was written by Anya Jones, Benjamin Ingrosso, Chinese Linda Lee, Hampus Lindvall, Nile Rodgers, and Tino Schmidt. It was produced by Purple Disco Machine, Nile Rodgers, and Hampus Lindvall. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


Do you think about me,

Älskling by Rebecca & Fiona

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Rebecca & Fiona have a new song out called "Älskling", which is Swedish for "darling." We are still loving their previous single "All Or Nothing."


"Älskling" is a hi-nrg dance pop affair. On first listen, we thought maybe it was a bit too fast, but at the same time, we couldn't wait to hear it again. The vocals are light and airy while the chorus is super catchy. We've added the official audio to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Älskling"was written Rebecca Scheja, Fiona Fitzpatrick, and David Jackson, who 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 ...

Higher Ground by Purple Disco Machine featuring Roosevelt

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Purple Disco Machine and Roosevelt have collaborated on a new song called "Higher Ground" and we are digging it! We've still been listening to Purple Disco Machine's song "Beat Of Your Heart" with ÁSDÍS, which we featured in February.


"Higher Ground" is a pop dance song with lots of tempo changes. The song sounds like a dance remix that has limited words, but those words pack a punch because you will be singing this long after you listen to it. The music video is an animated affair. We've added it to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Higher Ground" was written by Marius Lauber (Roosevelt), Matt Johnson, and Tino Schmidt (PDM). 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 ...

Dust by Say Lou Lou

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Swedish/Austrailan twin duo Say Lou Lou are back with a new song called "Dust" and we were surprised as it doesn't sound like their dream pop signature sound, and we quite like it.


The music skips in the beginning reminding us of "Don't Tell Me" by Madonna. Besides the guitar part, it doesn't really sound like that song all that much. It is a really nice pop song and they sound great. We've added the music video to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Dust" was written by Elektra Jansson Kilbey, Miranda Jansson Kilbey, and Joni Fatora. It was produced by Eli Hirsh. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today. Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Wild Enough by Andreas Moe featuring Clara Mae

 Dear Poptastic Readers,

One our favourite singers Clara Mae is back today with a duet with Andreas Moe and the song is called "Wild Enough." We weren't familiar with Andreas, but it looks like he has been making music since 2012.

"Wild Enough" is a piano-led ballad duet with Andreas taking the first verse and Clara sings the second verse. It has a big beautiful chorus and they sound great together. We've added the official visualizer to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Wild Enough" was written by Andreas Moe, David Björk, and Elina Stidh. It was produced by Andreas Moe. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Kiss Me Better by Julie Bergan

Dear Poptastic Readers,

We've been listening to this banger for almost 2 weeks and we absolutely love it! We had a total Y2K Eurodance flashback when we first heard "Kiss Me Better" by Julie Bergan. We had to break out some of our Alice Deejay dance moves for this one. We weren't familiar with Julie, so found out she is a Norwegian artist who has been releasing music for over 10 years now.


Like me mentioned above, this glorious hi-nrg trance pop song had us reliving some of those wonderful club moments from the early 2000s where you just felt so happy on the dance floor, even when the lyrics aren't super happy. This song delivers that and more. It has a great hook and Julie sounds amazing. We've added the music video to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Kiss Me Better" was written and produced by Julie Bergan, Jesper Borgen, and Albin Clern. It is available on streaming outlets. Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...



This song is begging for some amazing remixes, until then, we've added the Sped Up version  to our 2024 Remix Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Listen here ...



Back in my life,

I Had It All And Let It Go by Supercub

Dear Poptastic Readers,

It's been awhile since we last heard from Supercub, but he is back with a new song called "I Had It All And Let It Go" and it is a remake of song originally recorded last year by Benjamin Ingrosso. It was co-written with him and Björn from ABBA! 


"I Had It All And Let It Go" was originally a somber song, but Supercub has taken this straight to the dance floor with 7th Heaven on the remix somehow making sound more like ABBA than Benjamin's version. We've added the audio to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"I Had It All And Let It Go" was written by Björn Ulvaeus and Benjamin Ingrosso. It was produced by 7th Heaven. It is available on streaming outlets. Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


We've also added the 7th Heaven Club Mix to our 2024 Remix Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Listen here ...

Keep This Fire Burning by SoundFactory

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Swedish dance legend SoundFactory has a new song out called "Keep This Fire Burning" featuring Kristian Kaspersen on vocals. When we first heard it, we thought it was BWO singer Martin Rolinski on vocals! The song is cover of a song from Robyn from her 2002 album Don't Stop The Music.


"Keep This Fire Burning" has an epic start and then the beat kicks in. There is a great melody, which Kristian handles perfectly and his vocals sounds great. We've added the official audio to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Keep This Fire Burning" was written by Robyn, Renee, Ulf Lindström, and Johan Ekhé. It was produced by SoundFactory. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today. Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


We've also added remixes to our 2024 Remix Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Listen here ...

Everlasting Remixes by Jody Watley

Dear Poptastic Readers,

The legendary Jody Watley's latest feel-good, self-empowerment single "Everlasting" has been given the remix treatment! On Friday, the remix Ep was released taking the song to the dance floors! There are 5 new mixes and we will review them here ...


1. Quentin Harris Extended Remix that is about 6 minutes long. It has a trance sort of vibe to it, and it also has the classic remix style to it. 


2. The Slowz Extended Remix starts off sounding a bit stripped back but then gradually picks the beat up. This is really good.


3. The Illustrious Blacks & Amara Jaguar Remix is HOT! It takes the the song to ball. 10s all around for this one! We are digging the deep male vocal.


4. John "J-C" Carr Extended Remix is a hi-nrg mix that will get your cardio going. 


5. Gianpiero Xp Remix is pure house! You'll have your hands in the air and spinning around with this one.


The remix EP is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added these remixes to our 2024 Remix Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Listen here ...



"Everlasting" was written and produced by Jody Watley and Rodney Lee with additional production and mix by Alex Di Ciò. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to the Alex Di Ciò radio mix on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Dear Poptastic Readers,

"Every Emotion" is a steady mid-tempo pop song. Rod sings the lead vocals with Ultra Naté on backing vocals. However, both are featured equally in the music video. We hope they do more together. We've added the music video to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
