Sweet N' Psycho by Scarlet

Dear Poptastic Reader,

Back in February of this year, Sweden's goth duo Scarlet participated in Melodifestivalen with a song called "Sweet N' Psycho." We never got around to featuring it, but now that they have a song coming out with Dolly Style on Friday, we thought we'd go back to it, and we quite liked it. Scarlet consists of two female members: Scarlet Hunts (skeleton) and Thirsty (vampire).

Scarlet's music described as heavy metal. We wouldn't think we would like heavy metal, but we like this. For us, it sounds more industrial, but with the classic Swedish pop melodies. "Sweet N' Psycho" is a fun bop with a very catchy chorus. We've added their Melodifestivalen performance to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Sweet N' Psycho" was written by Dino Medanhodzic, Anderz Wrethov, Jimmy "Joker" Thörnfeldt, Scarlet Hunts, and Thirsty. It was produced by Dino Medanhodzic, Scarlet Hunts, and Thirsty. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to them on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

So spooky,

Indie Summer by Color Buzz

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Color Buzz has released their fourth single this year and it is called "Indie Summer." We have featured their previous singles "Image" featuring Flora Summers, "Spaceship" featuring Paul Rey, and "I've Been Waiting For So Long."

"Indie Summer" is a fun song with a chill dance vibe. It has that funky guitar sound. The female vocals are nice. Our only complaint is that it is too short! It clocks in at 2:21. We need more time to get our jam on with this. We've added the official lyric video to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Indie Summer" was written by Filippa Brännström, Isac Halldin, and Jakob Redtzer. It was produced by Color Buzz. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to them on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

I spin the records,

Nice To Know You by PinkPantheress + Sugababes

Dear Poptastic Readers,

As you know we love the Sugababes, so imagine our surprise this morning when we found out they released a new song today called "Nice To Know You" with PinkPantheress. We weren't familiar with PinkPantheress, so we found out she is a British artist most well known for her 2002 song "Boy's A Liar." This year, we have featured these Sugababes singles: "Jungle", "Weeds", and "Shook."

"Nice To Know You" is an upbeat garage dance track with lots of lush vocal harmonies. Funnily enough, the song samples a Sugababes song from 2006 called "Spiral", which was a downtempo collaboration between William Orbit and the Sugababes for his album Hello Waveforms. This new song is very fun and we are enjoying it so far! We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Nice To Know You" was written by Askel Arvid, Anders Sven Bagge, Arnthor Birgisson, Glasear, Karen Ann Poole, Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, Oscar Scheller, Pamela Sheyne, PinkPantheress, Siobhan Donaghy, and William Orbit. It was produced by Oscar Scheller, PinkPantheress, and Askel Arvid. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

You got me shakin' all over,

Xanadu by Andy Bell

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Erasure singer Andy Bell has a new solo single out called "Xanadu." Yes, it is a remake of the classic Oliva Newton-John and ELO song from 1980. Earlier this year, we featured Andy's singles "Breaking Thru The Intersteller", "Don't Cha Know", "Dance For Mercy", and "Heart's A Liar."

Andy's version of "Xanadu" is a very faithful cover version. If anything, this song showcases his excellent vocal range, as Andy handles the high notes with ease. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Xanadu" was written by Jeff Lynne. It was produced by Dave Audé. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Ten crowns,

Fashion by SoundFactory featuring Jean-Pierre Barda

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Legendary dance producer SoundFactory has their third single with Jean-Pierre Barda (from Army Of Lovers) this year. The new song is called "Fashion." Earlier this year, we featured their songs "Cocktail" and "Wigs Lashes Heels Mascara." Today is also the birthday of SoundFactory's Emil, so we wish a very happy birthday to Emil!

"Fashion" is indeed a cover version of the 1980 song by David Bowie. In fact, SoundFactory's previous single was "Nightclubbing", which was also a David Bowie song. The single artwork also featured a part of a star. We are seeing a theme here, and we love it!

The vocals on "Fashion" are very robotic and done with a vocoder. We thought, this sounds nothing like Jean-Pierre, but then his talking bit comes in near the end and you instantly know him. We aren't sure who is on the vocoder. Overall, this is very fun. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Fashion" was written by David Bowie. It was produced by Emil Hellman (aka SoundFactory). It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

We've added the Autum Club Fashion Mix to our 2025 Remix Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Nightclubbing,

Don't Want The Lights To Fade by Jupiter Pulse featuring Ann Seeza

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Jupiter Pulse has released a new song with Ann Seeza called "Don't Want The Lights To Fade Away." We weren't familiar with Ann before, so we've included her social media links below.

"Don't Want The Lights To Fade Away" is a pleasant electro pop song. Ann does a great job on vocals, and the chorus has higher pitched vocals, and she handles them with ease. This has a really lovely melody. We've added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Don't Want The Lights To Fade Away" 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

I moved on,
