The Swedish Eurodance duo Da Buzz is back with a new song called "Give Yourself To Me." We thought they had been gone for a while, but they had new music out last year and we missed it. D'oh! We have some catching up to do.
"Give Yourself To Me" is glorious slice of Eurodance. There are strong trance elements and when you least expect it, an acoustic guitar. The vocals are strong, confident, and singer Annika sounds amazing. Sadly, there no music video, lyric video, or visualizer. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Give Yourself To Me" was written by Per Lidén. It was produced by Niclas Olausson. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.
Waiting for your love,
—Sausi O'Sullivan

RetroPopBoy is back with a remake of "On The Metro", originally recorded by Girls Aloud in 2012 for their greatest hits compilation Ten. Sadly, it was never released as a single. We are happy that another artist has found this gem.
RetroPopBoy's remake of "On The Metro" is endearing. It is a faithful cover, and it shows the same story from another point of view. This time, a gay male. The video is super-cute, and we are down with the dance routine. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"On The Metro" was written by Nicola Roberts, Jason Pebworth, George Astasio, Jon Shave, and Dan Stein. It was produced by Bearly Disco. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.
Left my heart at the disco,

One of our featured artists shared this new song with us It is called "Adest Tempus" by Mystra. According to the YouTube channel, "Mystra is not an artist – Mystra is a state. The new new-age project Mystra invites the listener to detach from a time where everything happens too fast and too loudly. It is a faceless project that presents no creator, builds no personal brand, and seeks no attention through visibility. Mystra exists in story, atmosphere, and experience." Intrigued? We are!
"Adest Tempus" translates to "Now is the time." The music is very new age with a haunting beat. It reminds us of Deep Forest or Enigma. The soft rhythms and whispering vocals create layers to get lost in. We've added the official visualizer to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Adest Tempus" was written and produced by Petri Murto. It available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.
Sweet lullaby,

Up first is Ann's latest release: "Silent Crowd of Phantoms." This has an epic pop feel to it. It has an edge to it, and Ann's vocals bring a safety to the song. It was written by Alberto Delgado. It was produced by FMD. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
Let's check out some of her other songs this year ...
Ann's previous release is called "Likes Or Die." This is quite the mysterious mid-tempo track. The chorus is quite catchy. Ann gives an amazing vocal performance. It was written by Alberto Delgado. It was produced by FMD. We've also added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
And the next release ...
"Hold Me Tight" featuring Over Beat was released in mid-February. This picks up the pace ever so slightly. However, the atmosphere is so dark that it feels like it is in ballad territory. It was written by Alberto Guardia. It was produced by FMD. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
And finally ...
"Dancing On Ashes" was released in January, and it starts off sounding a bit spooky. It has a droning bassline. Overall, this is very dark, emotional pop song with a haunting chorus. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
But there is more!
It looks like "Dancing On Ashes" was the last single from her album Ghostlight, which was also released in January. We haven't had a lot of time to explore it yet, but we see there is a duet with David Adavi called "Alone In The Desert."
"Attitude" is a fun disco pop song. The funky rhythm will have you moving in no time. The lyrics are confident and empowering. Melanie C is really enjoying this dance era and we certainly are, too! Sadly, there is no music video, lyric video, or visualizer. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Attitude" was written by Melanie Chisholm, Aaron T Davenport, Oscar Scheller, and Leroy Burgess. It was produced by Alex Metric and Dan Grech. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

We stumbled upon a song called "Chico Chico Rico" by Olly Maxx. We'd never heard of the artist before, we found out that Olly is a Warsaw-based DJ, songwriter, and music producer specializing in Nu Disco, Club Pop, and Disco Pop. Right down our alley!
"Chico Chico Rico" is a soothing, relaxing disco beat that makes you feel like lounging around in a tropical location with a few drinks and then getting your groove on. It is quite infectious. We love it. We've added the official music video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Back in 1988, Canadian duo Kon Kan had a worldwide hit with their debut single "I Beg Your Pardon." They had a few other minor hits, but nothing was as massive as their debut. For some, that put them in one-hit wonder status. However, three Top 20 hits in New Zealand isn't really a one-hit wonder. Anyhoo, it seems like the duo parted ways so now Barry is releasing music under the name Barry Harris' Kon Kan. They have 2 new songs: "My Medication" and "Not This One."
"My Medication" is a nice slice of synth pop. The lyrics are a love song. The melody here is ace, and we quite like it! There is something about the music that makes us happy. We really like the chorus, too. We've added the official lyric video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
And now for their latest song ...
"Not This One" sounds as if it could be autobiographical. It is about a friendship where someone betrayed you. However, you live your best life and move on. The music is quite an upbeat epic affair. We've also added the official lyric video to our 2026 Poptastic ConfessionsYouTube Playlist ...
Both "My Medication" and "Not This One" were written and produced by Barry Harris and Bryan Harris. Both are available for purchase on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copies today. We've added them to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.
I beg your pardon,
