Superstar by Senhit featuring Boy George

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Representing San Marino in 2026 Eurovision Song Contest this year was Senhit featuring Boy George with a song called "Superstar." Sadly, they didn't make it past the semifinals this week.

"Superstar" is a funky disco track with a great vocal performance from Senhit. It's not really a a proper duet, as Boy George comes out in the middle 8 and stays on the last chorus. They gave a fun performance at Eurovision semifinals. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Superstar" was written by Anderz Wrethov, John-Emil Johansson, Julie Aagard, Thomas Stengaard, Senhit Zadik Zadik, and George Alan O'Dowd. It was produced by Anderz Wrethov, Thomas Stengaard, and John-Emil Johansson. 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.

The next thing will be amazing,

—Sausi O'Sullivan

Chariots Of Love by Retropenu featuring Drome + 4 other Retropenu songs

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Finnish artist Retropenu has a new song out called "Chariots Of Love" featuring Drome. We aren't familiar with Drome, but we have featured Retropenu twice last year with their songs "Masquerade" and "Obsession." However, we saw that this is their third release this year, and we missed one last year. Whoops! We'll catch up below.

"Chariots Of Love" is the latest single. It's a fun dance pop song. It's very hi-nrg trance mixed with a great pop melody. The chorus is quite catchy. We've added the official visualizer to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And the songs we missed ...

"Nightless Boys" was released in April and it was released under the name Nightless Boys, which is a duo made up of Retropenu and Producer Jääskeläinen. There is also a female vocal on the chorus. We are guessing the song is mostly sung in Finnish, but not sure. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And then ...

"Please Come Back" was released in February. This dance pop song is about longing for your favourite artists to make a comeback. It has a tears-on-the-dancefloor vibe. We've added the music video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And one more ...

"Love Is Alive" was released last August and we missed it. D'oh! Better late than never. This mid-tempo pop song has a darker feel to it, but the lyrics are about being in love. We've added the music video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Chariots Of Love" was written by Petri Murto. It was produced by Tommi Hilliranta.

"Nightless Boys" was written by Petri Murto and Jani Jääskeläinen. It was produced by Anssi Honkanen.

"Please Come Back" was written by Teppo Kangas. It was produced by Tommi Hilliranta.

"Love Is Alive" was written by Peter Wilson and Larry Forsberg. It was produced by Alkalyne.

They are available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copies today! We've added them to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Obsession,

Cabin Fever by La Roux

Dear Poptastic Readers,

English artist La Roux is back with new music! HOORAY! Their brand-new song is called "Cabin Fever." It is the first single from their new album Old Flames, which is due out November 6. That means more new songs betwen now and then! La Roux is most well known for their 2009 worldwide hit "Bulletproof", which went to #1 in the UK, and top ten in the US.

Elly gives an emotional vocal performance. The video visualizer shows Elly hanging out on a deck by a late pondering life. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Who's Sorry Now? by Linda Sonnvik

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Swedish songwriter/artist/singer Linda Sonnvik has finally got her 2002 song "Who's Sorry Now?" to be available on digital outlets. Over the years, we have featured songs that Linda has written. They are: "Spellbound" and "Sound Of Summer" by Belle; "Moves Like A Shadow", "Wicked", and "Game Over" by Em Appelgren; "En Stilla Depression" by Lena Philipsson; and "Devilish Dreams" by Emly Clausen.

"Who's Sorry Now?" might be 24 years old, but it still sounds good today. It is Eurodance pop with a strong melody. In fact, Linda won a Swedish song competition with this song! The lyrics are about leaving a relationship and feeling relief with the newfound independence. We quite like this. We happy to bop along in 2026! We've added the music video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Who's Sorry Now?" was written by Linda Sonnvik. It was produced by Peter Bengtsson. 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.

Spellbound,

Who Needs Sleep Anyway by David Adavi

Dear Poptastic Readers,

David Adavi has a new single out called "Who Needs Sleep Anyway." This follows his previous singles "Mission Is Over" and "Nobody Can Survive." 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.

"Who Needs Sleep Anyway" is heavily layered synth pop song. The lyrics are about not being able to sleep because you have too much on your mind. The chorus is quite good, and David sounds great, as usual. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Who Needs Sleep Anyway" 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.
