Orbit by Carda

Dear Poptastic Readers,

London-based Australian artist Carda has released his third single this year! The new song is called "Orbit." This follows "Gravity" and his comeback single "Future History" with Jack Newsome.


"Orbit" is a space-age pop song. The song starts off a bit somber, but the beat kicks in at about 1 minute turning it into an EDM banger. The melody is quite nice. Singer/songwriter Andie does a great job with the vocals. We quite like it! We've added the official visualizer to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Orbit" was written by Andie Mechanic and Zoe Giosa-Hirsh. It was produced by Carda. Mixed by Hayden Lauersen. Mastered by Bruno Gruel. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.


Around the world we go,
—Davearama

Dirty Dirty Disco by Rogue Traders & Dannii Minogue

Dear Poptastic Readers,

The iconic Dannii Minogue is back with a new single called "Dirty Dirty Disco" with the Australian group Rogue Traders. In 2023, Dannii released "We Could Be The One", and in 2024, she released "Thinking 'Bout Us" with Autone. She skipped 2025, but we are happy she is back. We are new to Rogue Traders, so we need to check them out. This song an updated version of their song "To The Disco" from their current album Midnight Alarms.


"Dirty Dirty Disco" is a fun dance pop song, and it has an edge with that guitar riff during the chorus. Dannii takes the first verse and Natalie from Rogue Traders takes the second verse. The video is fab with Dannii and Natalie with their shiny outfits, hair flips, and ABBA poses. We love it! Check out the video on our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Dirty Dirty Disco" was written by Jamie Appleby, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Cameron McGlinchey, David S Fernandez, Richard J Fontana, Andrew Ramanauskas, Dannii Minogue, and Adrian Newman. It was produced by James Nash. 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.


Am I dreaming?

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,

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
