Back in June, we featured 2 new songs from English artist Tom Aspaul. Since then, Tom has had 2 more singles and an album out. D'oh! The two new songs we are featuring today are "Moustache" and "Weekend Ghosts." The first single is also the title of his latest album. It also features the singles that we featured in June: "New Position" and "You Can Try Me."
"Moustache" is a delightful dance pop song. The melody is a bit reserve, but also quite interesting. The lyrics are about wanting to spend the night with someone. We quite like it. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
And now for the latest single ...
"Weekend Ghost" has a booming bass that will get you moving in no time. Instantly catchy. The lyrics seem to be about the aftermath of being ghosted and how it is very common: "This town is full of ghosts." This is very catchy! We've also added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Moustache" was written and produced by Tom Aspaul and Jack Ward. "Weekend Ghosts" was written and produced by Tom Aspaul and Gil Lewis. Both songs were mastered by Pete Maher. They are available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copies today! We've added it to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

In August, we featured "Don't Leave Me On The Dancefloor" by Carly Rae Jepsen. Since then, she has released two more singles: "Motivation" and "Versailles." They are all from her new album called Day And Night, which is out now.
"Motivation" is a fun upbeat song that will make you want to dance around the room. The dance beat, house keys, and echoing bass. Carly's vocals are great, and there are some interesting backing vocals too. The music video feel like it is a love letter to people around the world, especially the LGBTQ+ community. You also see Carly's new baby at the end. We love it. We've added the video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
And now for the last single ...
"Versailles" is an unusual pop song. It has a lovely vocal melody over some interesting dance beats, but before you get too used to it, the music and tempo completely changes. The tempos change 2 more times. It almost sounds like 2 songs put together. We've also added the music video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Motivation" was written by Carly Rae Jepsen, Cole MGN, and Nate Cyphert. It was produced by Cole MGN and Kylie Shearer. Mastered by Ruairi O'Flaherty. Mixed by Tom Norris.

Synth-pop legends Erasure are back with new music and their latest single is called "Wings Of Love." It is their first single from their new album Radio!! Radio!!
There is a sadness about "Wings Of Love" as the lyrics are about loss and feelings of void. There are times it feels defensive and hopeful as well. The music is subtle. Andy's vocals are nice. The melody isn't instantly catchy, but it is interesting. We are enjoying listening, and we think it might be a grower. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Wings Of Love" was written and produced by Andy Bell and Vince Clark (Erasure). It was mastered by Matt Colton. Mixed by Marta Salogni. It is available for purchase on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today. We've added it to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

"Hold Me" is a gorgeous ballad with an orchestral arrangement. Morten's vocals are really quite smooth and lovely. Then when his daughter comes in, it is really a nice blend. We've added the music video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

As usual from Inga's affairs, the lyrics to "Reina Del Baile" are in Spanish. Although our Spanish isn't fluent, we know the lyrics are very funny. The music is club banger. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
Love Foundation (UK), Berri, and LoveRush have all teamed up for a new song called "Do What U Like." You might remember that we featured "Suga" by Love Foundation (UK) with Whigfield earlier this year. Last year, we featured "Overthinking" by Berri. It is our first time featuring LoveRush.
"Do What U Like" is a hi-nrg house pop track. The relentless dance beat will have you moving in no time. Berri's vocals are quite good and carry the melody with ease. This is really good! Sadly, there is no music video, visualizer, or lyric video. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Do What U Like" was written by Mark Schneider, Derek Mark McMillen, Julian Napolitano, Rebecca Sleight, and Scott Shephard. It was produced by Love Foundation (UK) and LoveRush.

Swedish artist Benjamin Ingrosso recently released 2 singles on the same day: "Waste My Time" and "Funny Feeling." Both are believed to be from his upcoming album, but no title or release date has been given.
"Waste My Time" is a song about being in love. The feel-good music is uplifting. Benjamin sounds great, as always. The music features Benjamin and his girl hanging out in the city and driving through the countryside in a convertible. But is it all a dream? Watch it on our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
And now for the second single ...
"Funny Feeling" is quite the different song about being in love. The happy-go-lucky music sounds breezy, and the melody is quite relaxing. However, the lyrics are a bit dark as it sounds like obsession. The music video is quite disturbing as it features violence, blood, and gore. Watch with caution. We've also added the music video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Waste My Time" was written by Jon Shave, Benjamin Ingrosso, Timothy Collins, Shazaam, Montgomery, and Bill Maybury. It was produced by Jonathan Rado, Kane Ritchotte, Jon Shave, and Benjamin Ingrosso. It was Mixed by Ian Gold. Mastered by Björn Engelmann.
