"The Last Time" starts off a bit somber as the lyrics are about the last time being with a lover. Then the glorious chorus hits and the tempo gets faster. Singers Melissa, Rebecca, and Elisa give some pretty powerful vocals here. We quite like this. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"The Last Time" was written by Tony Nilsson, Emma Lewin, and Ferdinand Skead. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Last week, while featuring Clara Mae's new song called "The One" with Ferris Pier, we saw that she had a song out in April with brother duo MC4D called "Still Got Time." We missed it! D'oh! Better late than never!
"Still Got Time" starts off sounding acoustic with Clara's soaring vocals. There is a glorious build in the music that leads to the chorus. There are lots of changes in the music making for an exciting, emotional listen. We quite like this. There is a music video, but Clara isn't in it. Instead, one of the brothers lipsyncs her vocals. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Still Got Time" was written by Clara Mae, Corey Sanders, Fraser Churchill, Ross Copperman, Christopher Drake, and Matthew Drake. It was produced by MC4D and Ross Copperman. It was mastered by Mason Levy. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Swedish group Italove is back with a new song with Luzan called "Just For The Night." We featured their song "Chasing Ghosts" in 2023.
"Just For The Night" is a fun dance synthpop song. It is very Italo disco. It is a duet between the lead singer of Italove and Luzan. The chorus is quite catchy. The music video is mostly in black and white with splashes of colors. We've added the video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Just For The Night" was written by Mats Rubarth, Martin Blix, and Daniel Campos. It was produced by Mats Rubarth and Jimmy Akerfors. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Afghan-born Swedish artist Meira Omar is back with a new song called "Mazaa." It is a duet with Swedish artist LIAMOO. You might remember that we have previously featured Meria's songs "Hush Hush" and "Meri Jaan." We just saw that she had a song out in February and we missed it! D'oh! We'll get it it below.
"Mazaa" translates to "fun" and that is exactly what this song is! The middle eastern rhythms mixed with the gorgeous melody that Swedes are famous for makes for a wonder experience. Both Meira and LIAMMO sound great. We absolutely love the chorus. The music video is absolutely spectacular. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
And now for Meira's song that we missed ...
"Dooset Daram" loosely translates to "I Love You." This was actually in Sweden's Melodifestivalen this year, and it made it to the final round. We remembered it but forgot to feature it. Whoopsie! This mid-tempo track is filled with rhythms and melodies that just make you want to dance and sing along. We've added Meira's performance at Melodifestivalen to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Mazaa" was written by Meira Omar, LIAMOO, Marcus Svedin, Linnea Deb, and Paul Rey. It was produced by Marcus Svedin. "Dooset Daram" was written by Meira Omar, Anderz Wrethov, Laurell Barker, and Jimmy Thörnfeldt. It was produced by Anderz Wrethov. Both songs are available for purchase on digital outlets everywhere.

The legendary Queen Of Cool Jody Watley has released a new single today, and it is called "The Dawn." The new mix was done by Alex Di Ciò. The song on Jody's amazing 2014 album Paradise, but never a single until now. "The Dawn" was definitely a standout track! In 2018, French Horn Rebellion sampled Jody's vocals from "The Dawn" for their single "Just Werrrk." Let's see what the 2026 version sounds like ...
The new Alex Di Ciò remix of "The Dawn" has transformed this song into a disco-influenced funky jam. While this sounds very modern, it also gives us some Chic/Nile Rodgers vibes! Jody sounds great, as usual. We absolutely love this! This is sure to make you smile! We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"The Dawn" was written by Jody Watley and Mark de Clive-Lowe. It was produced by Alex Di Ciò. Co-produced by Jody Watley. Mastered by Steve Hall. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

"The One" is a delightful pop song with a lovely melody. Clara Mae sounds great, as always, but it is nice to hear her sing a love song. This is a gem of a song and we really like it. The bass line is really groovy! We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Swedish duo Rebecca & Fiona are back with their first new release of 2026. HOORAY! The new song called "RAMA." Let's check it out!
"RAMA" is quite the fast song! It has an edge that is mixed with sweet vocals and lyrics about getting over a heartbreak. It feels all very empowering. The music is quite interesting and complex. We quite like it. The music video visualizer features Rebecca & Fiona in bikinis in a shell, like the single cover. We have added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
