Test My Luck by Purple Disco Machine featuring Meek

Dear Poptastic Readers,

German producer Purple Disco Machine is back with a new song called "Test My Luck" and it features Meek on vocals. We've not heard of Meek before, but she is an artist from London, and her name is Georgia Meek.

"Test My Luck" is a glorious dance pop song with an uplifting melody and big sing-along chorus. There is a retro aspect here, and we are digging it. Meek's vocals are strong and quite emotional. We really like this. We've added the lyric video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Test My Luck" was written by Tino Schmidt (Purple Disco Machine), Ruthy Sarah Raba, and Jason Vaughan. It was produced by Purple Disco Machine. Vocal producers are Ruthy Sarah Raba, Jason Vaughan, and Raven Alexander. Mastered by Hans-Philipp Graff. 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.

Honey boy,

When They Make U, Mr. Goodnight, and Shout by Big Boy Therapy

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Back in May, we featured 2 songs from the Finnish duo Big Boy Therapy. Well, here we are featuring 3 new songs from them. They are "When They Make U", "Mr. Goodnight", and "Shout." These follow their previous singles this year: "Bananadrama" and "Don't Stop."

"When They Make U" is a fun dance pop song with random quotes here and there. One of the most prominent sayings is "Express yourself, darling." The music is very futurist. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And the next song is ...

"Mr. Goodnight" is the most melodic of the 3 songs, and it is our favourite. It has glorious synths and dark beat. As soon as it was over, we wanted to listen again. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And the latest song is ...

"Shout" is a very industrial sounding song. It's very hard and sounds a bit angry. This sounds like a great song to work out to. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

All 3 songs were written by Petteri Koskinen and Juha Katila. Produced by Dubious Gloom. They are available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copies today! We've added them to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Unconventional man,

Moustache and Weekend Ghosts by Tom Aspaul

Dear Poptastic Readers,

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 our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

New position,

Motivation and Versailles by Carly Rae Jepesen

Dear Poptastic Readers,

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.

"Versailles" was written by Elias Kapari, Carly Rae Jepsen, Noonie Bao, and Markus Krunegard. It was produced by Elias Kapari. Mastered by Ruairi O'Flaherty. Mixed by Tom Elmhirst. 

Both are available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copies today! Listen to them on our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Good time,

—Sausi O'Sullivan

Wings Of Love by Erasure

Dear Poptastic Readers,

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 our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Say what,
—Albert Green
