I'll Be There For You (2026) by Solid HarmoniE

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Solid HarmoniE have a new remix of their 1997 hit "I'll Be There For You" by Nils van Zandt. However, it is not just a remix, it is a new vocal take, too. The song was first released at the end of 1997. It was a Top 20 hit in the UK, and it was Top 10 in Sweden and The Netherlands. At the time, the group had a hard time getting out of the Spice Girls shadow, but time has been good to them as their debut album was full of bangers. Everyone loves an underdog story!

The new 2026 version by Nils van Zandt is more dance oriented, as it has a booming bass. We are digging it. It's a bit shorter than the original, but packs a punch! The original version had Melissa on lead vocals. We aren't sure, but we think it is Becki on lead on the new version. They all sound great! We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"I'll Be There For You" was written by Kristian Lundin and Max Martin. It was produced by Jeroen M. Nap and Niels van de Zande. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

To love once again,

—Davearama

Bring Your Love by Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter

Dear Poptastic Readers,

On Friday, Madonna released the second track from her forthcoming album Confessions II and it is duet with Sabrina Carpenter called "Bring Your Love." No, it isn't the same song as "Bring Your Love" by Army Of Lovers, which they released in 2023.

The cover looks like it was made with Microsoft Word

"Bring Your Love" is a dance pop song where Madonna and Sabrina take turns with the vocals. The song feels a bit dreamy with a dance beat. We like it, and we think it is one of those songs that will grow on you the more you hear it. There is an official visualizer. However, BE WARNED. There are a lot of flashes so if you are epileptic or sensitive to that, please avoid watching it. We have added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Bring Your Love" was written by Madonna, Stuart Price, Roy Holman, Shanna Jackson, and Kevin Saunderson. It was produced by Stuart Price and Madonna. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Get together,

—Davearama

Drum Machine by Melanie C

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Melanie C just released her latest album Sweat and the new focus track (formerly called a single) is the song "Drum Machine." This follows the singles "Sweat" (#14 in our Top 101 Songs of 2025), "What Could Possibly Go Wrong", "Undefeated Champion", and "Attitude."

"Drum Machine" is a glorious pop song with a fantastic melody and empowering lyrics. The chorus is europhic, and Melanie sounds like she is in her element here. The music during the verses is a bit dark, but the light shines bright on the wonderful chorus. Did we mention that we like the chorus? Melanie's music video premiered today, and it is black and white with her performing in a bit room with giant fan. Simple, but effective. We love it. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Drum Machine" was written by Melanie Chisholm, Sam Harper, and Jon Shave. It was produced by Jon Shave. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Blame it on me,

Fascination by The Amplifetes

Dear Poptastic Confessions,

The Swedish band The Amplifetes just released a new song called "Fascination." Last year, they released "Idiots." We also featured them in 2023 with "Spin It" and "You/Me/Evolution" in 2013.

"Fascination" is a dark, moody mid-tempo electro track. It sounds very experimental and it reminds us of the early Human League tracks. It has so many layers that you can get lost listening to it. It is all rather dreamy too. The song fades out, which is rare these days. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Fascination" was written and produced by Henrik Jonback, Henrik Korpi, Peter Ågren, and Tommy Spaanheden (aka The Amplifetes). 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.

Blinded by the moonlight,

Ritual and Dance To This by Icona Pop

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Icona Pop is back with new music! Their new song is called "Dance To This." They also released a song called "Ritual" back at the end of March and we missed it. D'oh! We'll cover both here today. Both songs are from their forthcoming album Ritual, which is due in mid-August. So that means more new music before the album drops! YAY!

"Ritual" starts off a bit somber. But the beat kicks in at album 30 seconds and the song changes drastically. There are some fierce talking bits, but there is also a lovely melody here over a jungle beat. The music video is edgy and shows Icona Pop taking control of their situations by helping each other. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And now for the new single ...

"Dance To This" is an electro pop song that sounds a bit simple at first. But then you hear the lyrics are bit deep and meaningfu. By the time you realize it, the music has taken a dark turn. Again, the melody is quite good on this one too. The music video features a woman in silver walking down a road at night while Icona Pop sit in a car and watch. We've also added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Ritual" was written by Aino Jawo, Caroline Hjelt, Sebastian Furrer, Hanna Jäger, Erik Hassle, and Grace Martine Tandon. It was produced by Sebastian Furrer, Eric Dubowsky, and Sören von Malmborg. "Dance To This" was written by Aino Jawo, Caroline Hjelt, Sebastian Furrer, Wilhelm Börjesson, Ines Dunn, and Joakim Jarl. It was produced by Sebastian Furrer, Eric Dubowsky, and Sören von Malmborg. Both songs are available on digital outlets everywhere. We've added them to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Body type,

Suga by Whigfield with Rocco Lino DJ and Luv Foundation (UK)

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Danish-artist Whigfield (aka Sannie Carlsson) is back! HOORAY! Her new song is called "Suga." Does that sound familiar? The song was actually released 6 years ago in April of 2020. Of course, that was the start of the pandemic. That year, "Suga" was #76 in our Top 101 Songs of 2020. Six years later, "Suga" gets a new updated version with Rocco Lino DJ and Luv Foundation (UK).

The new version of "Suga" is more upbeat and dance oriented. We really like this new version, and we are happy that Rocco Lino DJ and Luv Foundation (UK) gave it a new life. We think they vastly approved on it. There is also a music video that combines AI footage with some vintage Whigfield footage, as well as some more recent live footage. There is also a story in the video that connects back to Whigfield's first single "Saturday Night" in 1993. We've added the music video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist.

"Suga" was written by Sannie Carlson, James Reeves, and Domenico Canu. It was produced by Mark Schneider and Julian Napolitiano. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Stay in my head,

—Davearama
