JUNGLE - THE WAVE

 The new Jungle period seems to be moving in a brighter, groove-oriented and optimistic direction, continuing the warm disco/soul aesthetic of 2023's "Volcano". And when a "Wave" is offering so much refreshing vibes and a cool aesthetic in a form of sound waves during the heat then there's nothing that can resist it.This is the second track from their new album, which effortlessly rolls through the combination of nu-disco, funk, soul and electro-pop and it features Lydia Kitto on  vocals.Their upcoming album "Sunshine",will be released on August 14th and it's already a summer must have that will be praised in the future for many decades.Now if "The Wave" feels like a tsunami when you hear it just don't resist it and let go...

THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS - GO (CYRIL REMIX)

 From the early 90s till today is a long way full of electronic music, beats and innovations that few dared to produce.The Chemical Brothers' long-standing success stems from their pioneering role in the 1990s big beat/acid house scene, their highly immersive and cinematic live shows, and a recent viral resurgence in 2026. The release of the Netflix film "Apex" led to a massive streaming surge. Featuring the track "Go" during an intense, viral scene on social media, the song saw a tremendous success 11 years after it's release.And that means that there is always have to be a reason for a song to become a hit so in the future there might be one for any of them.This remix by Cyril for "Go" is still unofficial but in the future it might be released as i expect some more remixes this time official to be released while the song is aiming even for the UK number one.

LAUFEY - MADWOMAN

 Taken out from an era where bosa nova sounds were pretty popular like "The Girl Of Ipanema" or "Chega De Saudade" this girl dares to bring back this almost forgotten genre.Taken from the deluxe version of her third studio album, "A Matter of Time" Laufey is a fresh breathe of air in music.The song pairs lush string arrangements and warm, classical-inspired piano with her signature velvety vocals that makes "Madwoman" an undeniable choice for my playlist.In the video for the song stars a notable cast including Hudson Williams, Lola Tung, Katseye’s Megan Skiendiel, and Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu.Who needs a good song?You do...

STELLA LEFTY - BOSTON

 For quite sometime i m tracking Stella Lefty's ascend to the music scene and the charts.From the release back in February of "Boston" till today there is a steady increasing popularity of this song making this pop country artist one of the surpises this year. Critics describe the song as a blend of pop immediacy and country storytelling.

ARMIN VAN BUUREN, HANNAH LAING & WIPPENBERG - U GOT TO KNOW

 Have a great week soundfisters....

Unless Olivia Rodrigo's new single doesn't make it to the top of the charts next week then both number ones in the Uk and Billboard will remain as they are today. But even if it does, the dynamic is so weak that won't make it for a second just as all the Drake singles are going to fall in popularity and streaming.Charts are not necessary the only criteria to look for new music. There's plenty out there to pick from and this blog makes some suggestions in case you need them.

The legendary "U Got To Know" by Italian Eurodance act Cappella, originally released in 1992 is being brought back by a trio of producer-djs that know how to set dancefloors on fire. For this new version, Armin Van Buuren and Hannah Laing teamed up with German trance pioneer Wippenberg, who had previously done a legendary club remix of the track back in the day, helping bring the whole Eurodance legacy full circle into the modern techno and trance scene.The line between the past and today is once again very thin and you will cross it this summer with this one.

LOLA YOUNG - FROM DOWN HERE

 I m trying to stay away from AI music as much as i can but who will stop it from trending or being played on the radio or being downloaded. For now the charts are in favour of human made music but for how long? There are several songs made by AI that are trending out there while artists like Lola Young are trying to stay in the frontline of music business.One hit wonders have always existed and "Messy" by Young may be one of them.Her brand new single is an emotional soulful track co-written and co-produced by James Blake and it marks the beginning of a new hopeful chapter for the rising British singer. The song features Young's recognizably vulnerable writing style and emotionally raw vocals, filled with rasp and expressiveness.But in my ears there is no catchy thing about this tune that will make it spread to wider audience.And that is needed in order to have a hit...

THE SCRIPT - MAN IN THE ARENA

 The Script’s phenomenal and long-lasting success has seen them achieve six UK #1 albums and eight back home in Ireland, in the process exceeding 14 billion streams, 5 million album sales, and countless international Platinum certifications.Well  The Script are back entering a new era by sharing their new single "Man In The Arena" the first taste of their new album "The User’s Guide To Being Human" (out Friday 14 August).According to frontman Danny O'Donoghue, the inspiration for "Man In The Arena" came in part from a famous speech by Theodore Roosevelt, which refers to the power of those who dare to expose themselves and fight despite criticism.The new track moves in the band's familiar, dynamic pop rock style, combining intensely emotional lyrics with big, arena-ready melodies.Overall this is a good come back single from The Script which deserves the Sound Fist exposure.

JOSH FAWAZ - SEXUAL HEALING

 The Josh Fawaz trending is very similar to what Cyril did few years back with his remixes.And while his "Like A Prayer" cover remix version is still among the most downloaded songs on i-tunes the dj from Brisbane Australia strikes back with another dance cover of a classic song.This time he takes on the 1982 classic number one single "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye making his buzz over his name more intense.Just like Cyril dance covers they may never been high on the charts but they are still very popular than many number one singles and that's strange but true.If these kind of remixes lead you to the original versions then the job is done for everyone.

CHARLI XCX - SS26

 From the times i was writing about the rising star of Charli XCX without any real success to "Brat" seems like ages away.And after that came her ost era for "Wuthering Heights" that didn't go very well till she released "Rock Music" and today her brand new "SS26". It's a song about capitalism and the end of the world feeling we're all living through currently because of it, and that feeling is ultimately incredibly mundane. There's been plenty of op-eds over the past few years about the "apocalypse being boring" and I feel this song and production is aiming for the same tone.Once again this is a nice song causing mixed feelings but at least this one is over 2 minutes.There's no build up or drop because ultimately all this "end of the world" is leading to is exactly that - just the end and that makes it very weak for making a real change to the world of music.

OLIVIA RODRIGO - THE CURE

 While we are expecting her brand new album on June 12 Olivia Rodrigo gives another taste from that by releasing another single.After "Drop Dead" that so far didn't go as well as expected her brand new single "The Cure" is a five minute jam (rare in a world of songs under 3 minutes) is a soft rock that starts as a ballad with a building up that blends elements of pop, rock, and folk, openly embracing her influences. The lyricism is just great, with her struggling and internally battling with herself on her self-worth and paranoia. The chorus is just so well written, with her understanding that her lover is trying to help her figuratively suck the poison (or her insecurities) out of her, and she knows it’s the right thing to do, but she has a lot of hesitation that it will CURE her true pain.Overall it's a good single but i don't know if the radios will use this 5 minute song in heavy rotation.

LISA, ANITTA & REMA - GOALS

 As if the Shakira and Burna Boy single for the Fifa World Cup wasn't enough another one emerged today with a highlight collaboration between Lisa, Anitta and Rema.This new collaboration brings together three completely different musical worlds, creating a project that doesn't necessary mean it's good enough to score "Goals" both in the field or the audience.This song may be used for some highlights from the world cup but apart from that this is a highlight addition in names for the upcoming album.Not scoring unfortunately...

KYLIE MINOGUE - LIGHT UP

 There not too many in pop music with a career expanding for four decades and still going on.Apart from Madonna only Kylie Minogue done it and her achievement is hard to break.That's why a Netflix documentary about her career is more than fitting for the pop princess.A brand new song is heard in the final episode of the trilogy and acts as an emotional and triumphant climax to her story, capturing the light, strength and resilience that have characterized her entire journey."Light Up" is described as a grand, stadium-sized pop track about love, human connection and the power that can come from feeling truly seen and accepted.If this song was released back in the 80s it would be a number one song but this sound nowdays feels outdated.It fits perfect for the Kylie sound over the decades and fans will be more than pleased but there's no connection to what pop music sounds today.Do we bother? No...
