Year Of The Horse by Aly & AJ

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Sister duo Aly & AJ have a new single out called "Year Of The Horse." They are probably most famous for their 2007 hit "Potential Breakup Song." However, in Poptastic Conefssions, our favourites have been: "Star Maps" (#16 in our Top 101 Songs of 2019) and "Don't Need Nothing" (#3 in our Top 101 Songs of 2021).

"Year Of The Horse" is a light-rock pop song with hints of country music. It is very easy listening. Aly & AJ sing in unison and sound great on the melody. The video features the duo wondering around a concert venue as it was cancelled due to bad weather, and that connects with the lyrics of the song. We've added the music video to our 2026 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

"Year Of The Horse" was written by Aly Michalka, AJ Michalka, Jonathan Wilson, and Jorge Elbrecht. It was produced by Jonathan Wilson. Mastered by Adam Ayan. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2026 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.
