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 GallegoThey are available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

"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 ...

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 ...

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,

Relentless Love by Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Sophie Ellis-Bextor is out with a new song called "Relentless Love" and it is her first single this year. You might remember that her last single "Freedom Of The Night" was #2 in our Top 141 Songs of 2024.


"Relentless Love" is a mid-tempo disco pop song with lovely melodies. Sophie shines on this. From the understated disco beat to the soaring strings, there is something very chic about this. We've added the official visual to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Relentless Love" was written by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Baz Kaye, and Samuel Robert Knowles. It was produced by Baz Kaye 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 ...

What The Hell Just Happened by Remember Monday

Dear Poptastic Readers,

The UK entry for the Eurovision Song Contest is called "What The Hell Just Happened" by Remember Monday. They are a country pop girl group from the UK made up of singers Lauren Byrne, Holly-Ann Hull, and Charlotte Steele.


"What The Hell Just Happened" is less country pop and more glam rock. The music definitely reminds us of Queen. Their vocals are top-notch amazing, and the song takes lots of twists and turns with tempo changes. The music video is pretty entertaining too, with the ladies running around an old house and singing about events after a party. We've added the video to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"What The Hell Just Happened" was written by Charlotte Steele, Holly-Ann Hull, Julie Aagaard, Lauren Byrne, Samuel Brennan, Thomas Stengaard, and Tom Hollings. It was produced by Billen Ted. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...



Laugh about it,
—Sausi O'Sullivan
