Mazaa by Meira Omar & LIAMOO + Dooset Darem

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Afghan-born Swedish artist Meira Omar is back with a new song called "Mazaa." It is a duet with Swedish artist LIAMOO. You might remember that we have previously featured Meria's songs "Hush Hush" and "Meri Jaan." We just saw that she had a song out in February and we missed it! D'oh! We'll get it it below.

"Mazaa" translates to "fun" and that is exactly what this song is! The middle eastern rhythms mixed with the gorgeous melody that Swedes are famous for makes for a wonder experience. Both Meira and LIAMMO sound great. We absolutely love the chorus. The music video is absolutely spectacular. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And now for Meira's song that we missed ...

"Dooset Daram" loosely translates to "I Love You." This was actually in Sweden's Melodifestivalen this year, and it made it to the final round. We remembered it but forgot to feature it. Whoopsie! This mid-tempo track is filled with rhythms and melodies that just make you want to dance and sing along. We've added Meira's performance at Melodifestivalen to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Mazaa" was written by Meira Omar, LIAMOO, Marcus Svedin, Linnea Deb, and Paul Rey. It was produced by Marcus Svedin. "Dooset Daram" was written by Meira Omar, Anderz Wrethov, Laurell Barker, and Jimmy Thörnfeldt. It was produced by Anderz Wrethov. Both songs are available for purchase on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copies today. We've added them to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Hush,

The Dawn by Jody Watley

Dear Poptastic Readers,

The legendary Queen Of Cool Jody Watley has released a new single today, and it is called "The Dawn." The new mix was done by Alex Di Ciò. The song on Jody's amazing 2014 album Paradise, but never a single until now. "The Dawn" was definitely a standout track! In 2018, French Horn Rebellion sampled Jody's vocals from "The Dawn" for their single "Just Werrrk." Let's see what the 2026 version sounds like ...

The new Alex Di Ciò remix of "The Dawn" has transformed this song into a disco-influenced funky jam. While this sounds very modern, it also gives us some Chic/Nile Rodgers vibes! Jody sounds great, as usual. We absolutely love this! This is sure to make you smile! We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"The Dawn" was written by Jody Watley and Mark de Clive-Lowe. It was produced by Alex Di Ciò. Co-produced by Jody Watley. Mastered by Steve Hall. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Still a thrill,

The One by Ferris Pier & Clara Mae

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Swedish artist Clara Mae has new song out with Ferris Pier called "The One." We have been featuring Clara's music since 2016! Ten years! Last year, we first heard of Ferris with his song "Hynotized" with Izzy Bizu.

"The One" is a delightful pop song with a lovely melody. Clara Mae sounds great, as always, but it is nice to hear her sing a love song. This is a gem of a song and we really like it. The bass line is really groovy! We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"The One" was written by Ferris Pier, Clara Mae, and Jonathan Pasma. It was produced by Ferris Pier. Mastered by Kevin Grainger. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Emotions,

RAMA by Rebecca & Fiona

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Swedish duo Rebecca & Fiona are back with their first new release of 2026. HOORAY! The new song called "RAMA." Let's check it out!

"RAMA" is quite the fast song! It has an edge that is mixed with sweet vocals and lyrics about getting over a heartbreak. It feels all very empowering. The music is quite interesting and complex. We quite like it. The music video visualizer features Rebecca & Fiona in bikinis in a shell, like the single cover. We have added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"RAMA" was written by Fiona Fitzpatrick, Rebecca Scheja, and Tommie Daniel Damberg. It was produced by Carli Löf. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

This is hardcore,

Firefly by B*Witched

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Irish group B*Witched are back with a new song called "Firefly." We last heard from them in 2024 with their Ripped Jeans EP, which featured the lead single "So Into You." We've heard there is another EP coming. HOORAY!

"Firefly" is midtempo ballad-esque with a booming bass. The melody is quite nice, and the big chorus is a beauty. The lyrics are about being there for a friend who is going through a hard time. They filmed a music video, but it isn't out yet. Until then, we have added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Firefly" was written by Ray Hedges, Tracy Ackerman, Martin Brannigan, Hamish Brodie, and Edele Lynch. It was produced by Ray Hedges and Brodie. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

You Got The Look by A*Teens

Dear Poptastic Readers,

A*Teens are back with a new song called "You Got The Look." This follows their big comeback single "Iconic", which was a #1 hit in Sweden after their amazing performance at Melodifestivalen. It was their first new music in 22 years, and we are happy that they are back!

"You Got The Look" is a modern reinterpretation/cover of "The Look" by Roxette. The verses are brand new, and the chorus isn't exactly the same as the original. Overall, this seems very fresh with a big nod to Roxette. We quite like this. Sadly, there is no music video, lyric video, or visualizer yet. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"You Got The Look" was written by Per Gessle, Hanna Hedman, Alicia Ericson, Kristoffer Fogelmark, and Albin Nedler. It was produced by Hanna Hedman, Alicia Ericson, Kristoffer Fogelmark, Albin Nedler, and Josef Vallander. It was mastered by Björn Engelmann. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Floorfiller,

B.E.A.C.H. PLS by Dolly Style

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Sweden's sugary sweet girl group Dolly Style are back with a new song just in time for summer. It's called "B.E.A.C.H. PLS." Earlier this year, we featured their songs "Mayday" and "Clap Song." If you are unfamiliar with the group, we have a history at the end of this post.

"B.E.A.C.H. PLS" is a happy feel-good pop song about getting excited for the weekend and going to the beach. Dolly Style are serving the enthusiasm. The melody is top notch, and the big chorus is a glorious earworm. We hope there will be a music video, but for now there is only the official audio on YouTube. We are unable to add it our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist because it has been tagged for kids. Boo!

"B.E.A.C.H. PLS" was written by Caroline Aronsson, David Lindgren Zacharias, Herman Gardarfve, Melanie Whebe, Mikaela Samuelsson, and Patrik Jean. It was produced by Herman Gardarfve. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

(Mayday) Can you hear me?
