Good Mourning by Shaznay Lewis featuring Shola Ama and General Lee

Dear Poptastic Readers,

All Saints member Shaznay Lewis has released her third solo single this year from her forthcoming album Pages and it is called "Good Mourning." Take note of how that second word is spelled as it changes the meaning. You might remember that we previously featured "Miracle" and "Kiss Of Life."


"Good Mourning" is quite the upbeat song despite the lyrics being a bit sad about the end of a relationship. However, it is also about a new relationship with yourself. Rapper General Lee gets the song started in a big way. Shola takes the first verse while Shaznay take the second verse. It is hard not to get your groove on with this one. The music video is in black and white like Shaznay's previous video. We've added it to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Good Mourning" was written by Shaznay Lewis, Ben Cullum, Lorne Alistair Tennant, Michael Angelo, and Paul Levy. It was produced by Michael Angelo. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...


Rock steady,
—Sausi O'Sullivan

Sad Eyes by Carda

Dear Poptastic Readers,

We downloaded this song a couple of weeks and thought we featured it, but then realized yesterday that we didn't. WHOOPS! Australian artist Carda has a new song out called "Sad Eyes", but don't be fooled by the title, as it isn't a ballad or even a sad song. Carda's previous single was similarly titled "Wild Eyes."


"Sad Eyes" features Loro on vocals. It starts off a bit slow as the first verse builds up to the chorus when the beat drops. It has a really nice melody and a catchy chorus. The lyrics are about assuring a partner that they are OK. We've added the official lyric video to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Sad Eyes" was written by Adrian Cardamone (Carda), Ciara Muscat, and Stuart Brander. It was produced by Carda, SB90, and Hayden Lauersen. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today. Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Dancing Star by Pet Shop Boys

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Synthpop legends Pet Shop Boys have just released their second single from their forthcoming album Nonetheless, and the song is called "Dancing Star." We featured the first single "Loneliness" at the end of January.


"Dancing Star" has a bass line that reminiscent of their first hit "West End Girls." There are many familiar sounds here, even a bit of freestyle like "Domino Dancing." As a bonus, there is even a spoken rap middle bit. We are digging it! The music video features some vintage footage mixed in with new bits featuring Neil and Chris. We've added it to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Dancing Star" was written by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys). It was produced by James Ford.  It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...

Better Days by Benjamin Ingrosso

Dear Poptastic Readers,

We are still loving Benjamin Ingrosso's last single "Kite", which went to #1 in Sweden! He's back with a new single and a different sound with a song called "Better Days."


"Better Days" is a fun slice of pop music. It sounds a bit retro, and it has a dance beat, banging keys, a super fun melody. Benjamin has a blast with the vocals, and it shows. The music video is a visual delight and it features him taking a journey around the world in a yellow Volkswagen Beetle, which changes into a piano car. See it in our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Better Days" was written by Salem Al Fakir, Benjamin Ingrosso, Anya Jones, and Vincent Pontare. It was produced by Vargas & Lagola and Wilie Enblad. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...



One more time,

Strawberry Dream by Dagny

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Norwegian artist Dagny is back with a glorious new pop song called "Strawberry Dream" and we love it. We think you will too. If you don't know Dagny, these are some of our favourites by her: "Wearing Nothing" (#3 in our Top 101 Songs of 2017), "Come Over" (#4 in our Top 101 Songs of 2020), "Somebody" (#19 in our Top 101 Songs of 2020), and "Heartbreak In The Making" (#9 in our Top 101 Songs of 2023).


"Strawberry Dream" is a fantastic pop song that is as sweet as a strawberry. However, the lyrics are a little bittersweet as it is about wanting to take a relationship to the next level when it hasn't worked the previous time. It's about being in love when maybe you shouldn't be, but you take the plunge anyway. Check out the official music video on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...


"Strawberry Dream" was written by Dagny Norvoll Sandvik, Cato Sundberg, Kent Sundberg, and Nick Hahn. It was produced by Cato Sundberg and Kent Sundberg. It is available on streaming outlets. Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...



Wearing nothing,

Saw It All Coming by Infernal

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Danish duo Infernal are back with lovely new song called "Saw It All Coming." You might remember them from their 2004 megahit "From Paris To Berlin." Hard to believe that is 20 years ago now. They've had songs on our year-end countdowns, too! "Love Is All ..." was #16 in our Top Songs of 2012 and "Weightless" was #6 in our Top Songs of 2017.


"Saw It All Coming" has a trip-hop drum and bass sound over a sweet vocal melody. Even though the lyrics are a bit sad, it feels a bit hopeful and dreamy. There isn't a music video as of yet so we have added the official audio to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist.


"Saw It All Coming" was written and produced by Paw Lagermann and Lina Rafn (Infernal). It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! Listen to it on our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...



Holding on,
