Heaven In Your Arms by Salute and Jessie Ware

Dear Poptastic Readers,

In mid-November, UK singer Jessie Ware released a song with an artist named Salute (they stylize it lowercased: salute) called "Heaven In Your Arms." We didn't hear about it until recently. Better late than never.

"Heaven Is In Your Arms" is a fun dance pop song with a gospel-inspired chorus with a choir that sounds heavenly. Pun intended. The music video features a Toyota MR2 from the 80s driving around in AI land. We've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist.

"Heaven Is In Your Arms" was written by Sam Knowles, Felix Nyajo, and Jessica Burrows. It was produced by Salute and Karma Kid. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Begin again,

Lion's Den by Jenny Berggren

Dear Poptastic Readers,

At the end of November, former Ace Of Base singer Jenny Berggren released a solo single called "Lion's Den." This followed her single "Keep Quiet", which was released in June of 2023.

"Lion's Den" is a quiet piano-led ballad with lots of religious overtones. It is very adult contemporary sounding. We've added the music video to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Lion's Den" was written by Jenny Berggren. It was produced by Simon Petren and Jakob Petrén. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Living La Vida by Andreas Lundstedt

Dear Poptastic Readers,

At the end of last year, Alcazar singer Andreas Lundstedt took part of the Swedish TV show called Så Myckret Bättre, which translates to So Much Better. Artists on the show take turns covering the other artists' songs. Andreas released 4 new singles: "Högt Över Havet", "Gråter Tillsammans Över Varandra", "Just Like That (I Like It)" with Alcazar (It was our #1 Song of 2024), and the last single was "Living La Vida" but it was released too late for us to get to it. So better late than never. All 4 songs are on the Tolkningarna EP (aka The Interpreters).

"Living La Vida" is remake of a song called "F.A.M.E. (LeyLey)" by Dani M & Prodotto di Superti. Simon Supertis was also on the TV show. Andreas's version picks up the tempo and turns it into a fun, energetic pop song. We've added his performance on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist.

"Living La Vida" was written by Dani M, Prodotto di Superti, and Dino Medanhodzic. It was produced by Dino Medanhodzic. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Someday,

Back To You by Benjamin Ingrosso

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Benjamin Ingrosso released a single in December called "Back To You" and it was the 6th single from his current album Pink Velvet Theatre. You might remember that Benjamin had 2 entries in our Top Songs of 2024: "Honey Boy" was #4 and "Kite" was #11.

"Back To You" feels like mid-tempo power ballad, without being a ballad at all. It has a nice melody and a catchy chorus. The music video is set in Stockholm, Sweden in 1950 and a tragic event happens. Benjamin's character tries to undo this event with time travel, and the video ends with a cliffhanger ending. We've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Back To You" was written by Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare, and Benjamin Ingrosso. It was produced by Benjamin Ingrosso, Vincent Pontare, Salem Al Fakir, Wille Enblad, and Lucas Albrektsson. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

All my life,

—Sausi O'Sullivan

Him by A Flock Of Seagulls

Dear Poptastic Readers,

At the end of 2024, 80s synthpop legends A Flock Of Seagulls released the second single from their new album Some Dreams — their first studio album in 30 years. The first single was "Some Dreams" (#54 in our Top 141 Songs of 2024). The new song is called "Him."

We first thought the title "Him" might be religious, but it isn't. The lyrics are about having a lover who is cheating. After hearing the song, we think a better title would have been "I Know You're With Him." No matter. This easy-going pop song has a lot of classic synth chords and soaring guitars that makes up the band's signature sound. It is futuristic nostalgia. We've added the official music video to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist.

"Him" was written by Mike Score. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Wishing,

2 Become 1 by Emma Bunton

Dear Poptastic Readers,

In December, Baby Spice Emma Bunton released a surprise single! It was an orchestral remake of the Spice Girls 1996 hit "2 Become 1."

Emma's version is even more of a ballad than the Spice Girls version. The orchestra is quite beautiful. Emma has a beautiful voice and easily handles the vocals by herself. How glorious would it have been if the other 4 Spice Girls would have joined her on this. We've added the music video to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist.

"2 Become 1" was written by Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, Matt Rowe, and Richard Stannard. It was produced by Stephen Lipson. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...
