Wigs Lashes Heels Mascara by SoundFactory featuring Jean-Pierre Barda

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Legendary dance producer SoundFactory has another new single out with Jean-Pierre Barda (from Army Of Lovers) called "Wigs Lashes Heels Mascara." This is the second single the two artists have done together as we featured "Cocktail" earlier in the month. Both songs are from SoundFactory's new album called Visions, as well as "Keep This Fire Burning" featuring Kristian Kaspersen.

Like the song "Cocktail", "Wigs Lashes Heels Mascara" is aimed directly at the dancefloor of a gay club. The music is dark electronica. Jean-Pierre doesn't disappoint with his vocals. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Wigs Lashes Heels Mascara" was written by Emil Hellman and Jean-Pierre Barda. It was produced by SoundFactory. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

I need a cocktail,

Barcelona Summer Love by Jupiter Pulse

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Jupiter Pulse is out with a new song called "Barcelona Summer Love." You might remember that we previous introduced you to Jupiter Pulse, which is the sibling project of Inga's Affairs.

"Barcelona Summer Love" is a love story about having a summer romance in Barcelona. Spending time on the beach, then saying goodbye at the bus stop, and looking foward to future summers together. While it is mostly sung in Spanish, there are some English words, like the title. The music is dance pop and it is quite good. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Barcelona Summer Love" was written and produced by Juan Pedro Pérez Gallego. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Support the artist by buying their songs. You can hear them on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

That Girl by Tom Aspaul

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Back in March, we featured "Drama" by Tom Aspaul and we loved it! We've had it on constant rotation so much that we missed that Tom also had a single in April called "That Girl." D'oh. Then we noticed that he had a single release in January called "Bang Bang." All three songs are from his new album called Cabin Fever. We will feature both here ...

The lyrics to "That Girl" are wanting to be a beautiful, carefree, and privileged woman, who seems to get all the attention she wants. The point of view is from a gay man who grew up in a small town wishing for affection from guys. The music has a happy beat. We've added the official music visualizer to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And now for "Bang Bang" ...

"Bang Bang" is a story of two lovers who are odds with each other in the middle of the night in Los Angeles. It has a very catchy chorus. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"That Girl" was written by Tom Aspaul, Gil Lewis, and Stefan Storm. "Bang Bang" was written by Tom Aspaul and Gil Lewis. Both songs were produced by Tom Aspaul and Gil Lewis. They are available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copies today! Listen to them on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Confidence by Peter Wilson

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Australian artist Peter Wilson has released a new single called "Confidence." You might remember we featured his previous single "When I Turn On The Radio" back in March.

Peter's music usually has that classic 80s Stock Aitken Waterman sound, but this release has more of an Italo Disco sound. The music lush and while it has hints of retro, we think it sounds quite futuristic, too. We quite like this. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Confidence" was written by Peter Wilson. It was produced by ItaloConnection. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Back Of My Mind by SG Lewis

Dear Poptastic Readers,

English artist SG Lewis released a new song today called "Back Of My Mind." You might remember that last year SG Lewis and Tove Lo had the song "Heat", which was #8 in our Top Songs of 2024. His song "Missing You" was #5 in our Top Songs of 2022.

"Back Of My Mind" is a somber dance track with lots of synths. The lyrics are about moving on past a relationship, but they are always in the "back of my mind." SG's vocals have a yearning quality about them. Tears on the dancefloor, for sure. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Back Of My Mind" was written by Ed Drewett, Julian Bunetta, Orlando Higginbottom, and SG Lewis. It was produced by SG Lewis and Orlando Higginbottom. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Hypnotized by Ferris Pier & Izzy Bizu

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Spotify recommended "Hypnotized" by Ferris Pier and Izzy Bizu and we quite liked it. We think you will too. We'd never heard of either artist. Ferris Pier is an American music producer. Izzy Bizu is a British-Ethiopian artist.

"Hypnotized" is an upbeat song that just makes you feel happy. The lyrics are a bit confusing as it sounds like being in love, but there are 99 reasons to say goodbye. Maybe that is why they are hypnotized. Izzy's breezy vocals really make this shine, well, and the disco beat, too. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Hypnotized" was written by Isobel Bizu Beardshaw, Jonathan Pasma, and Tancrede Rouff. It was produced by Ferris Pier and Tancrede Rouff. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Cheers then,

I Want It That Way by Robots With Rayguns featuring Andreas Moss

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Back in 2016, we did a feature on Robots With Rayguns. They have had more music since then, but we missed it. D'oh! Well, YouTube recommended their new song with Andreas Moss to us called "I Want It That Way." If you guessed it was a remake of the Backstreet Boys 1999 hit, you'd be right! 

"I Want It That Way" has been remade a dance synthpop classic! This definitely has a retro feel to it, all while feeling futuristic. The uptempo really brings the energy to the song. Andreas does a great job of handling the vocals without a bevy of backup boyband singers. As a result, the chorus is structured a bit differently. We've added the music video to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"I Want It That Way" was written by Andreas Mikael Carlsson and Max Martin. It was produced by Robots With Rayguns. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Change of heart,

Taste by Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Dear Poptastic Readers,

English artist Sophie Ellis-Bextor has released her third single this and year it is called "Taste." Her new album, Perimenopop, will be released in September, so hopefully even more singles to come! The album will contain the singles "Vertigo", "Relentless Love", and "Freedom Of The Night", which was #2 in our Top Songs of 2024.

"Taste" is a steady disco pop song with a smooth melody. This is a bit reserved, but don't be fooled, because it will get stuck in your head in no time. The offical lyric video is quite clever, especially if you are a Sophie Ellis-Bextor fan as you will see lots of her other songs mentioned. We've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Taste" was written by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Uzoechi Emenike, and Jon Shave, who produced the track. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

War by Gwenno

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Gwenno has released her second single this year and it is called "War." We featured the previous single "Dancing On Volcanoes." Both songs are from her forthcoming album is titled Utopia, which is due in July. 

"War" is a somber song. The lyrics are from a poem written by Edrica Huws, who wrote the poem just before the outbreak of World War II. Gwenno came across the poem in 2017/2018, and she composed the haunting music. The theme is very relevant to today with constant bombing of Gaza by Israel. We've added the music video to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"War" was written by Edrica Huws and Gwenno Saunders. It was produced by Rhys Edwards. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

"Cocktail" is aimed right at the dark gay clubs. The music is very eletro dance with a mysterious vibe. Jean-Pierre has such distinct vocals, and the lyrics are what will make you smile when you first hear it as he says, "I want a cock-, cock-, cocktail." Hee-hee. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Somebody's Love by Infernal

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Infernal are back with a new song "Somebody's Love" and it is from their latest album called INF: ALBUM. The previous singles from this album were: "Saw It All Coming" (#10 in our Top Songs of 2024), "Touch Heaven", "Loving What I Got", "Deserve It All", and "Bending The Rules", and "Don't Play Safe."

"Somebody's Love" has an epic intro, then we get a trip-hop beat come in. The lyrics are about feeling down and out and thinking somebody's love saved them, but also realising the power was inside themselves the whole time. It is a self-empowerment song. Lina sounds amazing, as always. We really like this. It will be on repeat! We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Somebody's Love" was written by Lina Rafn and Paw Lagermann. It was produced by Infernal. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...
