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 ...

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 ...

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,

Fade To Grey by Le Crash

Dear Poptastic Readers,

New artist alert! Swedish group Le Crash have released their debut single called "Fade To Grey." You might recognize the title as it was originally recorded by the English group Visage in 1980. Le Crash is giving us very strong Alcazar vibes. In fact, the women in Le Crash have recently done some shows with Andreas of Alcazar. 

"Fade To Grey" is nice modern update with the female and male parts of the song being reversed. It's has been transformed from a synth pop classic, to a futuristic transpop anthem. We quite like it. We have added the official audio to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist. However, the YouTube link isn't available in all territories, so if you can't hear it there, you can check out Le Crash's YouTube page. You can listen on our Spotify playlist below ...

"Fade TO Grey" was written by Billy Currie, Chris Payne, and Midge Ure. It was produced by CARLZZON, Ariel 46, and Göran Sparrdal. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


Devenir gris,

Dancing In My Head by Chris Tall

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Swedish artist Chris Tall is back with his third solo single this year and it is called "Dancing In My Head." This follows the previous singles "Saturday" and "In The Sunshine." We also say solo because Chris is one half of Rikky Disco, and their big single this year is "I Want You Back", which we absolutely love. Click on the song title to see the new music video.


"Dancing In My Head" has that classic synth sound like an accordian, and it is remincent of "Tu Es Foutu"/"You Promised Me" by In-Grid from 2002. Having said that, "Dancing On My Own" stands on its own as an instant classic. Coming at the end of summer just makes all those memories burn ever so brightly so that they will be dancing in your head. We've added the lyric video to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Dancing In My Head" was written and produced by Christian Jonson (aka Chris Tall). It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copies today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


You can hear the Extended Mix of "Dancing In My Head" on our 2025 Remix Confessions Playlist on Spotify 

Dancin' alive,

Make Myself Happy by Julie Bergan

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Norwegian artist Julie Bergan is out with a new song called "Make Myself Happy." Hooray! We featured her previous song "Dance All Night" back in March. Last year, Julie completely captivated us with her song "Kiss Me Better", which was #9 in our Top 101 Songs of 2024.


"Make Myself Happy" is a fun dance pop song, and Julie definitely knows how to turn them out. This is one of those songs that is easy to get lost it, and because the song is short (only 2:25), you'll want to hit replay as soon as it ends. There is a lyric video where Julie is serving face. We've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Make Myself Happy" was written by Jesper Borgen and Julie Bergan. It was produced by Marcus Andersson. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2025 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


Iconic,
