Sister duo Appleton are back with a new song called "Ready To Begin." This follows their previous single "Falling Into You", which was released in January. Both songs are from their forthcoming EP titled Side By Side, which is due in September.
"Ready To Begin" is a mid-tempo pop rock song. The first verse has edgy build that leads up to a glorious chorus. The lyrics are about reconnecting with someone and giving the relationship another try. The chorus that we love so much has some amazing strings. We quite like this! We've added the lyric video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
Appleton also made headlines over the weekend when they played the Mighty Hoopla music festival in the UK and started playing "Round Round" by Sugababes. To the crowd's surprise, they were joined on stage by ex-Sugababe Heidi Range! Heidi then remained on stage to sing "Pure Shores" with them, which was a UK #1 in 2000 with their former group All Saints. See their performance here ...

Rikky Disco has a new song out called "It's My Style." This is their third release of 2026, as their previous songs were "Feel You On The Dancefloor" and "Monte Carlo."
"It's My Style" is a funky little disco ditty that is fun, fun, fun! It has both male and female vocals during the verses, but the glorious chorus is all Fanny! The soaring strings are amazing. We are really digging this. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

David Adavi has a new single out called "Dancing On A Wild Star." This follows his previous singles "Mission Is Over" and "Nobody Can Survive" and "Who Needs Sleep Anyway." You might also remember that we featured his albumSweet Sinsin January. Also in January, we featured"I Let You Go"by Jupiter Pulse, which David sings lead vocals.
"Dancing On A Wild Star" is a lovely midtempo pop song. Despite the title, it isn't a dance song per se, but it does have a groove making it more than a ballad. David gives a great vocal performance. We've added the official audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

While we were featuring Finnish artist Retropenu 2 weeks ago, we thought about Finnish duo Big Boy Therapy, and noticed that they had a release called "Don't Stop" in February that we missed! D'oh! We meant to feature it last week, but then life happened. Now they have released another new song today called "Bananadrama."
Let's start with "Bananadrama." Even though the artwork features a pear instead of a banana. This song is very frantic with jungle elements. There isn't a vocal melody per se, but more of a spoken word. It definitely is interesting, especially the unexpected synth part near the end, which is quite nice. We've added the audio to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
And now for the previous single ...
"Don't Stop" sounds rather industrial pop mixed with a splash of house dance music. Both guys in the group are on the vocals. The music video features a leather guy having a fun time in is car in the winter. We've added the video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
"Bananadrama" and "Don't Stop" were written by Petteri Koskinen and Juha Katila. It was produced by Dubious Gloom. They are available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copies today! We've added them to our2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.
Unconventional man,
