Chico Chico Rico by Olly Maxx

Dear Poptastic Readers,

We stumbled upon a song called "Chico Chico Rico" by Olly Maxx. We'd never heard of the artist before, we found out that Olly is a Warsaw-based DJ, songwriter, and music producer specializing in Nu Disco, Club Pop, and Disco Pop. Right down our alley!


"Chico Chico Rico" is a soothing, relaxing disco beat that makes you feel like lounging around in a tropical location with a few drinks and then getting your groove on. It is quite infectious. We love it. We've added the official music video 
to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Chico Chico Rico" was written and produced by Olly Maxx. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

My Medication and Not This One by Barry Harris' Kon Kan

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Back in 1988, Canadian duo Kon Kan had a worldwide hit with their debut single "I Beg Your Pardon." They had a few other minor hits, but nothing was as massive as their debut. For some, that put them in one-hit wonder status. However, three Top 20 hits in New Zealand isn't really a one-hit wonder. Anyhoo, it seems like the duo parted ways so now Barry is releasing music under the name Barry Harris' Kon Kan. They have 2 new songs: "My Medication" and "Not This One."


"My Medication" is a nice slice of synth pop. The lyrics are a love song. The melody here is ace, and we quite like it! There is something about the music that makes us happy. We really like the chorus, too. We've added the official lyric video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


And now for their latest song ...

"Not This One" sounds as if it could be autobiographical. It is about a friendship where someone betrayed you. However, you live your best life and move on. The music is quite an upbeat epic affair. We've also added the official lyric video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Both "My Medication" and "Not This One" were written and produced by Barry Harris and Bryan Harris. Both are available for purchase on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copies today. We've added them to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.


I beg your pardon,
—Sausi O'Sullivan

Nobody Can Survive by David Adavi

Dear Poptastic Readers,

David Adavi has a new single out called "Nobody Can Survive." This follows his previous single "Mission Is Over." You might also remember that we featured his album Sweet Sins in January. Also in January, we featured "I Let You Go" by Jupiter Pulse, which David sings lead vocals.


"Nobody Can Survive" is an epic, emotional power ballad with big vocals by David. Maybe calling it a ballad isn't correct. Overall, it is a mid-tempo pop song. Have a listen and let us know what you think. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Nobody Can Survive" was written by Alberto Delgado. It was produced by FMD. It is available for purchase on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.


Boom boom,

Mayday by Dolly Style

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Sweden's sugary sweet girl group Dolly Style are back with their first released in 2026 and the new song is called "Mayday." However, we featured "Clap Song" in January as it was released near the end of December. It feels like this is the second release of the year. If you aren't familiar with the group, check out our history at the end of this post.


"Mayday" is a very fast uptempo pop song. The melody is quite nice, and the Dollys are giving great vocals, as always. The chorus is very catchy, but it is tempo is superfast. There is a nice key change near the end. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Mayday" was written by Erik Pettersson. It was produced by Erik Pettersson and Elias Dalstad. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.


Clap your hands and sing along,

—Davearama

Monte Carlo by Rikky Disco

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Rikky Disco has a new song out called "Monte Carlo." This is their second release of 2026, as their previous song was "Feel You On The Dancefloor."


"Monte Carlo" is one of those tracks that feels like an instrumental, but there are plenty of vocals. We just don't know what the words are. No matter, because this is a glorious slice of nu disco pop! This feels very lush, glamourous, and dramatic. We love it! We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Monte Carlo" was written and produced by Christian Jonson and Fanny Wahlqvist (aka Rikky Disco). It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.


Expectations,

I'm In Love With A German Film Star by Parralox

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Parralox are back with a brand-new single called "I'm In Love With German Film Star." HOORAY! Welcome back! This remake was originally performed by the British group The Passions in 1981


We weren't familiar with the original version of "I'm In Love With A German Film Star", but we are loving the Parralox version. For us, it feels like a brand-new song. The music has a heavy rhythm section, and light, airy synths making for a quite enjoyable combination. Louise does an amazing job on lead vocals with her smooth delivery. It's nice to hear Johanna and John on backing vocals, too. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"I'm In Love With A German Film Star" was Clive Wilfrid Myles Timperley, David Agar, Richard Paul Williams, and Barbara Louise Gogan. It was produced by John von Ahlen. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.


Steppin' out,
