Utopia by Gwenno

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Welsh artist Gwenno has released her fourth single this year and it is called "Utopia." It is the title track from her new album Utopia, which was released today! This single follows the previous singles "Dancing On Volcanoes", "War", and "Y Gath." We are excited to hear the album!

 

"Utopia" is mid-tempo, easy going song about remembering your past, and in this case, Gwenno's past as she moved to Las Vegas as a teenager to be a dancer. The melody is very dreamy and Gwenno's vocals are heavenly. The music sounds like it right out of a cinematic movie. It is very moving. The music video was filmed in Las Vegas and it is absolutely brilliant at capturing the mood of the song. We've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Utopia" was written by Gwenno Saunders and Rhys Edwards, who also produced the song. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

You can hear the full album here ...

Ti yw Madonna,

Shook by Sugababes

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Sugababes have just released their third single of the year and it is called "Shook." This follows the previous singles "Jungle" and "Weeds." We hope the announcement of the new album happens soon!

"Shook" is a fun bop with some gorgeous harmonies. The first verse really is the highlight of the song. The second verse has a different melody, and we like it, but it we really like the way the first verse builds momentum. The chorus is catchy and we'll be singing along in no time. The music video features the Sugababes in a semitruck. We've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Shook" was written by Keisha Buchannon, Mutya Buena, Siobhan Donaghy, Anya Jones, and Jon Shave. It was produced by Jon Shave and Big Softy. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Do you wanna dance to Madonna,

Demons In My Mind by Jupiter Pulse featuring David Adavi

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Jupiter Pulse has released a new song called "Demons In My Mind" and it features singer David Adavi. If you remember, most of Jupiter Pulse's songs are sung in Spanish or Spanglish, but this one is in English. We are still enjoying their last single "Barcelona Summer Love." This is the first time that we have heard of David Adavi. We have links to his social media below.

"Demons In My Mind" is one of those songs where the lyrics are about something a bit sad, but the music is uplifting, therefore it ends up feeling hopeful. It has a lovely melody and the vocals are quite good. It is available in two versions: The regular version is very pop. The Demons House Remix which gives it an energetic beat. You can hear the regular version on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Demons In My Mind" was written by Juan Pedro Pérez Gallego. It was produced by FMD. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Support the artist by buying their songs. We've added the regular version to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Phantasmagoria by Ani Glass

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Welsh artist Ani Glass is back with a brand new single called "Phantasmagoria." We last heard from Ani in 2022 with her song "Ennill Yn Barod." She even has a new album on the way and it is due in September. For those of you not familiar with Ani, she used to be in The Pipettes with her sister Gwenno.

"Phantasmagoria" is a reflection on a personal journey for Ani, when she was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in 2020. Once you know that, the definition of phantasmagoria makes sense: It is a shifting series of illusions, deceptive appearances, or a constantly changing of complexed imagined or seemed elements, often used to describe a dreamlike or surreal experience. That is exactly what this song is: a lovely slice of dream pop and the lyrics in Welsh add to the mystical tone. The music video also picks up the themes of things not being what they seem. We've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Phantasmagoria" was written by Ani Glass. It was produced by Ani and Iwan Morgan. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Ffôl,
—Davearama
