Gimme All You Got by Birdee & Rikky Disco

 Dear Poptastic Readers,

We just saw that Rikky Disco has a new song out with Birdee called "Gimme All You Got." However, it was released over a month ago! We missed it! D'oh! Better later than never! This makes the fourth single by Rikky Disco this year following: "It's My Style", "Feel You On The Dancefloor", and "Monte Carlo." 

"Gimme All You Got" is a glorious disco pop song that will put you in a good mood. There's something so charming about it that just makes you happy. It's got a funky bass, freestyle keyboards, a steady beat, and lovely melody. There is a music video that features Fanny and Chris riding bikes around until Fanny dances around in a park and then gets in the water. The music video is only 1 minute long, when the regular version is 3:26. We've added the video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Gimme All You Got" was written and produced by Marcello De Angelis, Christian Jonson, and Fanny Wahlqvist. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

It's my style,

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Happy September! Australian artist Natalie Imbruglia has released 4 singles this year and she has an album release later this week (September 4). The album is called Algorithm, and the first 3 singles were "Upside Down", "Algorithm", and "Just Drive." The latest single "Beautiful Love" was released today! Let's check them out ...

"Beautiful Love" is a charming pop song with a gorgeous melody and a big chorus. Natalie sounds great here. The video features Natalie walking around a farm and small town with a space helmet. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And now for the previous single ...

"Just Drive" sounds very Robyn-esque, which is good thing. It's an emotional ballad with a beat. The video features Natalie driving in a car. We've also added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And now for the second single ...

"Algorithm" is the title track of the new album. It's a very experimental track. The lyrics are very empowering. The video is a trip — you'll just have to watch. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And now for the lead single ...

"Upside Down" has a retro kind of feel to it. The music is happy and breezy. The lyrics talk about some hard times, but now this is hopeful. The animated music video is adorable. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Beautiful Love" was written by Natalie Imbruglia, Fraser T. Smith, and Gary Lightbody. It was produced by Louis Rogove, Tim Bran, and Roy Kerr.

Don't You Want Me by Meshell Ndegeocello & Cat Power

Dear Poptastic Readers,

There is a new cover version of the 1981 synthpop classic "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League. We give props to the 2002 camptastic version by Alcazar. The new remake is by Meshell Ndegeocello & Cat Power. It is the first release from Meshell's upcoming album Synonym, due on October 2. The album is a collection of reimagined and reconceptualized classic cover songs performed as duets.

This new version is quite different to any version that we have heard before. This is laid back version that sounds like it has been recorded with an actual band and horn section. Meshell takes the first verse. Cat Power is on the second verse. This is a vibe, and we are digging it! 

September 8 UPDATE: There is a new music video. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Don't You Want Me" was written by Phil Oakey, Jo Callis, and Phillip Adrian Wright. It was produced by David Gamson, Abe Rounds, and Meshell Ndegeocell. It was mixed by Eric J Dubowsky and Mendy Stein. It was engineered by Adam Blastevic and Marton Bisitis. It was mastered by Chris Gehringer. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Wild night,

—Sausi O'Sullivan

Candy Shoppin' by Dolly Style

Dear Poptastic Readers,

There are big things happening with Sweden's sugary sweet girl group Dolly Style. The member with the pink hair, aka Molly 4, is leaving the group, but not before they released one last song with her. The new song is called "Candy Shoppin.'" We are sad to see Molly 4 go, as this lineup released 14 singles together, more than any other lineup. Please go the bottom of this post to see the history of the group.

"Candy Shoppin'" is fun pop song, but we knew it would be fun, right? This is definitely a foot tapper. They sound great. The song is just over 2 minutes long, so it is super short. There is no music video, and we are unable to add the audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist, because it has been marked for children. Not cool, especially when the lyrics aren't exactly kid friendly. You can listen to it on YouTube here ...

"Candy Shoppin'" was written by Kristofer Strandberg, Andreas Werling, Vilma Davidsson. It was produced by Kristofer Strandberg and Andreas Werling. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

We can't wait for the weekend,

—Davearama

Hurt by Icona Pop

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Last week, Swedish duo Icona Pop released their latest album called Ritual, and it is amazing! We listened to it 3 times on the first day, and at least once every day since. The new focus track is called "Hurt" and it is the first track on the album. The previous singles were "Ritual", "Dance To This", "Butterfly Feelings", and our favourite "Yellow Top."

"Hurt" is an epic space-age ballad. The lyrics are about a love that didn't work out. The music is very electronic and futuristic. The vocals have some effects on them, but somehow, they still sound very raw and emotional. The chorus just connects with the long chords. Eventually, the pace picks up near the end. We quite like this. We've added the official video visualizer to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Hurt" was written by Aino Jawo, Caroline Hjelt, Sebastian Furrer, Erik Hassle, and Ines Dunn. It was produced by Sebastian Furrer. Mixed by Eric Dubowsky. Mastered by Sören von Malmborg. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

You can also check out their fantastic album Ritual here ...

All night,

—Sausi O'Sullivan
