Cabin Fever by La Roux

Dear Poptastic Readers,

English artist La Roux is back with new music! HOORAY! Their brand-new song is called "Cabin Fever." It is the first single from their new album Old Flames, which is due out November 6. That means more new songs betwen now and then! La Roux is most well known for their 2009 worldwide hit "Bulletproof", which went to #1 in the UK, and top ten in the US. 

"Cabin Fever" is an epic mid-tempo pop song. The music is a bit haunting, and the lyrics are about being in a part of a relationship where things aren't clear. Elly gives an emotional vocal performance. The video visualizer shows Elly hanging out on a deck by a late pondering life. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Cabin Fever" was written by Elly Jackson, Caiphus Semenya, and Letta Mbulu. It was produced by Elly Jackson and Martin Eden. 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.

Bulletproof,

Who's Sorry Now? by Linda Sonnvik

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Swedish songwriter/artist/singer Linda Sonnvik has finally got her 2002 song "Who's Sorry Now?" to be available on digital outlets. Over the years, we have featured songs that Linda has written. They are: "Spellbound" and "Sound Of Summer" by Belle; "Moves Like A Shadow", "Wicked", and "Game Over" by Em Appelgren; "En Stilla Depression" by Lena Philipsson; and "Devilish Dreams" by Emly Clausen.

"Who's Sorry Now?" might be 24 years old, but it still sounds good today. It is Eurodance pop with a strong melody. In fact, Linda won a Swedish song competition with this song! The lyrics are about leaving a relationship and feeling relief with the newfound independence. We quite like this. We happy to bop along in 2026! We've added the music video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Who's Sorry Now?" was written by Linda Sonnvik. It was produced by Peter Bengtsson. 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.

Spellbound,

Who Needs Sleep Anyway by David Adavi

Dear Poptastic Readers,

David Adavi has a new single out called "Who Needs Sleep Anyway." This follows his previous singles "Mission Is Over" and "Nobody Can Survive." You might also remember that we featured his album Sweet Sins in January. Also in January, we featured "I Let You Go" by Jupiter Pulse, which David sings lead vocals.

"Who Needs Sleep Anyway" is heavily layered synth pop song. The lyrics are about not being able to sleep because you have too much on your mind. The chorus is quite good, and David sounds great, as usual. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Who Needs Sleep Anyway" was written by Alberto Delgado. It was produced by FMD. 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.

Who will be the hero,

—Sausi O'Sullivan

I'll Be There For You (2026) by Solid HarmoniE

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Solid HarmoniE have a new remix of their 1997 hit "I'll Be There For You" by Nils van Zandt. However, it is not just a remix, it is a new vocal take, too. The song was first released at the end of 1997. It was a Top 20 hit in the UK, and it was Top 10 in Sweden and The Netherlands. At the time, the group had a hard time getting out of the Spice Girls shadow, but time has been good to them as their debut album was full of bangers. Everyone loves an underdog story!

The new 2026 version by Nils van Zandt is more dance oriented, as it has a booming bass. We are digging it. It's a bit shorter than the original, but packs a punch! The original version had Melissa on lead vocals. We aren't sure, but we think it is Becki on lead on the new version. They all sound great! We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"I'll Be There For You" was written by Kristian Lundin and Max Martin. It was produced by Jeroen M. Nap and Niels van de Zande. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

To love once again,

—Davearama

Bring Your Love by Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter

Dear Poptastic Readers,

On Friday, Madonna released the second track from her forthcoming album Confessions II and it is duet with Sabrina Carpenter called "Bring Your Love." No, it isn't the same song as "Bring Your Love" by Army Of Lovers, which they released in 2023. 

The cover looks like it was made with Microsoft Word

"Bring Your Love" is a dance pop song where Madonna and Sabrina take turns with the vocals. The song feels a bit dreamy with a dance beat. We like it, and we think it is one of those songs that will grow on you the more you hear it. There is an official visualizer. However, BE WARNED. There are a lot of flashes so if you are epileptic or sensitive to that, please avoid watching it. We have added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Bring Your Love" was written by Madonna, Stuart Price, Roy Holman, Shanna Jackson, and Kevin Saunderson. It was produced by Stuart Price and Madonna. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Get together,

—Davearama

Drum Machine by Melanie C

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Melanie C just released her latest album Sweat and the new focus track (formerly called a single) is the song "Drum Machine." This follows the singles "Sweat" (#14 in our Top 101 Songs of 2025), "What Could Possibly Go Wrong", "Undefeated Champion", and "Attitude."

"Drum Machine" is a glorious pop song with a fantastic melody and empowering lyrics. The chorus is europhic, and Melanie sounds like she is in her element here. The music during the verses is a bit dark, but the light shines bright on the wonderful chorus. Did we mention that we like the chorus? Melanie's music video premiered today, and it is black and white with her performing in a bit room with giant fan. Simple, but effective. We love it. We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Drum Machine" was written by Melanie Chisholm, Sam Harper, and Jon Shave. It was produced by Jon Shave. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.

Blame it on me,

Fascination by The Amplifetes

Dear Poptastic Confessions,

The Swedish band The Amplifetes just released a new song called "Fascination." Last year, they released "Idiots." We also featured them in 2023 with "Spin It" and "You/Me/Evolution" in 2013.

"Fascination" is a dark, moody mid-tempo electro track. It sounds very experimental and it reminds us of the early Human League tracks. It has so many layers that you can get lost listening to it. It is all rather dreamy too. The song fades out, which is rare these days. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Fascination" was written and produced by Henrik Jonback, Henrik Korpi, Peter Ågren, and Tommy Spaanheden (aka The Amplifetes). 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.
