Dancing On Volcanoes by Gwenno

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Welsh artist Gwenno is back with new music! HOORAY! We knew it was coming as we follow her on social media (links below). We were recently listening to her 2022 album Tresor in anticipation. The big news is that after 3 albums and 1 EP sung in Welsh/Cornish, the new single is sung in English and it is called "Dancing On Volcanoes." Her new album is titled Utopia and due in July.

"Dancing On Volcanoes" has a classic indie pop sound with lots of guitars. The melody when Gwenno sings is quite lovely. There is also a fun talking bit. The middle 8 is a bit dreamy. We quite like it. The black and white music video was filmed in Las Vegas and we've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist.

"Dancing On Volcanoes" 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 ...

Circus by Solid HarmoniE

Dear Poptastic Readers,

The British girl group Solid HarmoniE are are back with a new song called "Circus." If you aren't familiar with the group, they are best known for their songs in 1997 and 1998 with "I'll Be There For You", "I Want You To Want Me", and "I Wanna Love You." In 2014, they released the single "Circus" for the first time. We missed it. D'oh! In 2022, they released their second album. The new release of "Circus" is listed as 2025 Version.

"Circus" is a fun dance song. The lyrics are about being over a relationship that has a lot of drama. Maybe a better title for the song would have been "I quit" as it is said more than "Circus." No matter, the vocals are fantastic. We quite like it! We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Circus" was written by Ferdinand Skead, Melissa Graham, and Tim Laws. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

I swear,

Introducing Inga's Affairs

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Sometimes our readers recommend music for us to check out. We love it when we like the music! Ha! Our reader Linda told us about Igna's Affairs, who is a DJ, songwriter, and producer named Juan Pedro Pérez Gallego from Sweden. However, they live in Spain, so the songs are in Spanish, and the lyrics are quite funny. Inga's Affairs has released 7 songs since November! Whoa! Buckle up, because let's dive in ...

Up first was the debut single "Olé Olé" released on November 1. This sounds like dance artist September doing a Spanish song. We love it! It will have you dancing in no time. Check out the official audio on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Song #2 ...

Next up at the end of November was "Boys Boys Boys." We thought it might be the remake of the classic Sabrina song, but it is not. The single cover only says Boys twice, but the song title lists boys three times. This is a fun song with a catchy chorus. Check out the official audio on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Song #3 ...

"Dame Maní" was released the same day as "Boys Boys Boys." This translates to "Give Me Peanuts" and well, it is about grinding on the dancefloor with the guy's peanuts. Ha! Check out the official audio on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Song #4 ...

"Nos Separó Eurovision" was the released in early January, and it is a love story about growing up with someone in a small town in Northern Sweden, but they went their separate ways, apparently over the Eurovision Song Contest. Check out the official audio on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Song #5 ...

"Fuego" came at the end of January. The lyrics talk about a neighbors house catching fire and the heat making the singer need to be hosed off. So hot, and very tongue in cheek. Check out the official audio on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Song #6 ...

"Mi Robot" was released at the end of February. In the lyrics, the singer talks about men from Sweden and Spain being very bad and she wants to replace them with a robot man. Our only complaint here is that she name drops Tesla. Otherwise, it is a fun song. Check out the official audio on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Song #7 ...

At the end of March came "Resaca", which translates to "Hangover." Someone has spiked the singer's drink with cocaine and all she wants to do is dance all night. Scandalous and hilarious! Check out the official audio on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

All songs are written and produced by Juan Pedro Pérez Gallego. They are available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Eso si que es,

Esa Diva by Melody

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Spain's Eurovision Song Contest Entry is by an artist called Melody and the song is called "Esa Diva", which translates to "This Diva." Melody has been releasing music for 24 years. In fact, her debut single "El Baile Del Gorila" in 2001 went to #1 in Spain when she was only 10 years old.

"Esa Diva" is pure fun and Melody gives an amazing vocal performance with an impressive range. She is a powerhouse! The song is really good too with various tempo changes and a really big, catchy chorus. We've added the official video to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Esa Diva" was written by Alberto Lorite and Melodia Ruiz Gutiérrez. It was produced by Red Triangle and Guillem Via Borràs. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Parapapá,

Killing It by Henrikes

Dear Poptastic Readers,

It has been a couple of years since we heard from Henrikes, but they are back with a new song called "Killing It" and it is from a TV Show called Läckbergs.

"Killing It" is an upbeat happy song about not letting your problems get the best of you. It's definitely a song to cheer you up if you are feeling down. Singer Josefin sounds amazing and it is nice to have new music from them. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Killing It" was written by Josefin Henriques and Robert Primrose, who also 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 ...

Velodrome,

Hall Of Fame + Fish Food by Sarah von Reis

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Last year, Swedish artist Sarah von Reis captivated us with her song "Blame It On" which was #21 in our Top 141 Songs of 2024. This year, we can't stop listening to her single "Patrol" as it has completely bewitched us. We've also fallen in love (again) with her previous singles "Friend", "Solitude", and "Nest." Sarah has just released her debut album Fish Food and the latest single is "Hall Of Fame."

"Hall Of Fame" is a bit less dreamy than previous singles, as the beat is slightly faster and the music is a bit more forward. Sarah's ethereal vocals carry the beatiful melody. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist ...

"Hall Of Fame" was written by Sarah von Reis and Michelle Amkoff, who 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 ...

Please also check out Sarah's debut album Fish Food. It has all of the songs listed above as well as a couple of more new ones.

I'm on patrol,
