CHARLI XCX - ROCK MUSIC

 Not all major releases are destined to become hits just like no minor releases are destined to become flops.When it comes to Charli XCX she is finally considered a major artist so this release will gather the spotlight."Rock Music" is described as a hyper-pop song (who really cares) and serves as the lead single from her upcoming seventh studio album. After making her major soundtrack contribution for "Wuthering Heights" this single takes a distance from her "Brat" sound testing her strength with the larger audience and not just with her fans who loved her for her futuristic dance sounds.Is the dance floor dead and the sights are set for rock guitars?The distance between stardome and be forgotten is really thin and Charli XCX is really balancing with this one.

CALVIN HARRIS & JAZZY - SATISFY

 Calvin Harris and Irish singer and dj Jazzy are on board for a new dance anthem to treat your summer."Satisfy" is a piano-driven dance anthem that i don't know if it will do what the title says but while i m writing these lines i feel that it could.Jazzy on the other hand is on the frontline of dance music in the island with collaborations like "Make Me Feel Good" with Belters Only and "Somedays" with Sonny Fodera and D.O.D. Her voice sits comfortably on house tempo, so her pairing with Harris feels natural rather than experimental. The two artists also share a clear feel for melodic, vocal-driven club music.In times where dance music just like pop produces minimum hits on the charts this might not climb to the highest nots but it does feel good.

THE ROLLING STONES - IN THE STARS

 I don't think there will ever be a group like The Rolling Stones again.Their spanning career alone is a record that can never been broken.After all they have so many money that they could have stop decades now. But making music in their 80s is a breathing mechanism for all members that it will stop only when they leave this planet.With a brand new album coming this summer Juky 10 and guests in it like Paul McCartney, Robert Smith, and Steve Winwood the Stones are rolling into music once again sweeping away everyone else who thinks is a real music legend.The new album "Foreign Tongues" has fas if from today a double single "In The Stars" and "Rough And Twisted" with the first one being the one that will hit the radio.Pure rock music is pouring out directly from the source and it's written "In The Stars".

ISAIAH RASHAD & SZA - BOY IN RED

 It's always nice to hear something different from the copy paste sounds that most of the new releases use.Rashad and SZA share a long history of collaborations, stretching all the way back to their respective TDE debuts in 2014."Boy In Red" is taken from the new album "It's Been Awful'" by Rashad.It's one of the album's most captivating moments and it feels like that this is a meeting of kindred spirits with an airy and contemplative feel that suits both artists perfectly.SZA is doing what she does best by adding a layer of warmth and emotional depth that elevates the track considerably.In any case charting high or not this is a nice addition to your playlist making it more summerish.

MAROON 5 - HEROINE

 Have a great week soundfisters....

More and more i see AI music storming into the i-tunes charts which makes me wonder about the future of music.Luckily for now artificial music is not allowed to enter the charts but for how long.Few decades back using computers to create music was a necessary bad need used mostly by djs and it was accepted in no time putting real instruments aside.But virtual artists and ai music really freaks me out cause making music by a real artist is a living organism.

Anyway bands like Maroon 5 are still around although the glow of the past faded away big time.That doesn't mean that their new single is not good.In fact "Heroine" is a rather electrified and fun to hear song that in their days of glory would have been a nimber one record.In fact this new song finds Maroon 5 reconnecting with the sound that first defined them, blending infectious energy with sleek, modern production. Driven by Adam Levine’s unmistakable vocals, the track captures the rush of an all-consuming connection through propulsive melodies and emotionally charged lyricism.The single arrives at a pivotal moment as the band prepares for an expanded run of international tour dates in 2026 spanning Latin America and Europe packed with fan-favourite hits that continue to resonate with audiences around the world.

ALEX WARREN - FINE PLACE TO DIE

 I don't know where is your fine place to die but Alex Warren seems to know it.Following his great single "Fever Dream" Warren seems to want to repeat an "Ordinary" success which will be a rather extra ordinary achievement. The GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter releases "Fine Place to Die" a romantic ballad that finds comfort and warmth in love even when everything else is burning down.The song will probably connect deeply with the audience once again with the empotional power this song brings.Warren is currently nominated for six American Music Awards. He’s a first-time GRAMMY nominee in the Best New Artist category. He won Best New Artist at the MTV VMAs, took home five iHeart Radio Music Awards including Song of the Year, and was named Variety Hitmaker’s Breakthrough of the Year.And his story seems to be building up higher and higher.Staying at the top notches for a long time is not something that everyone can do...

LADY GAGA - GLAMOROUS LIFE

 When you have both Madonna and Lady Gaga on this week's new releases then you must be at least satisfied feeling that pop music is at the centre of everyone's attention.On top of her cameo in "The Devil Wears Prada 2", Lady Gaga contributed three original songs with "Glamorous Life" being the best song in it.While the video for her duet with Doechii being released only few days ago and the buzz around the movie taking over the internet the soundtrack is an all-female ost that features songs from Dua Lipa’s "Radical Optimism" ("End of an Era"), Miley Cyrus’ "Something Beautiful" (the Brittany Howard duet "Walk of Fame"), and Olivia Dean’s "The Art of Loving" ("Nice to Each Other") which is kinda strange for a new ost to include songs that has already been released way long ago.Gaga is known that she can deliver powerful ballads and "Glamorous Life" is one of them.(In a small part of the song i hear "Don't Speak" by No Doubt don't you?

MADONNA & SABRINA CARPENTER - BRING YOUR LOVE

 Finally the SabDonna collaboration is here and this is going to be a number one record.The main reason is not queen Madonna but Sabrina Carpenter cause whether you like it or not she is one of the biggest pop icons of the 20s.The last time Madonna had a number one single was with "Music" in the USA back in 2000 and with "4 Minutes" in the Uk another collaboration she made with Justin Timberlake.Many have described "Bring Your Love" as the "Vogue" of this decade and for a good reason cause the feeling calls back to past Madonna dancefloor jams.Stuart Price really did a great job on this one offering Madonna a hit after a very long time and expanding Carpenter's fame cause not to many have the opportunity to work with the queen even if they are "shorter" than her.Bring everything you want with you this summer i will bring this one...

BECKY HILL - HANDS ON ME

 Becky Hill returns to familiar music paths since her brand new single "Hands On Me" is a dance anthem. This is her first new music for 2026 and serves as the first single from her upcoming third studio album."Hands On Me" has a vibrant electro-house sound and while i m writing these lines i m trying to connect with it but no luck so far.Familiar techniques and sounds are no longer offering a solid connection with the audience and most of all they can't create a time warp into the future.Hope i m not right but i was expecting more from Becky Hill...

GENER8ION & YUNG LEAN - STORM II

 When music and vision is combined in such an excelent way then it's only natural to go viral and grow a strong audience that everybody is talking about.Set in Leeds in 2034, GENER8ION’s video for Storm, with Swedish rapper, singer, and songwriter Yung Lean is a must feel experience. It is immediately reminiscent of "If…" the 1968 satirical drama set in a strict boys’ boarding school where the students rebel and things escalate into chaos.The visual part is directed by Romain Gavras the man who directed the last part of Rosalia's stage performance on this year's Brits.On the other hand  GENER8ION it is the stage name of Surkin, a French electronic music producer. He uses the GENER8ION name for a more experimental, audio-visual project that blends electronic music with striking visuals and film-style storytelling.The outcome is "STORM I & II" the new seven-minute music film that caused all this buzz around it.Released as a double single both parts are trending with "Storm II" being the one with more attention."STORM I & II" is more like a small cinematic attack, where music, image and choreography work as a single body.And this is art in full display...

WIZTHEMC - WAIT FOR YOU

 I m not sure i really want to see the Michael Jackson biopic movie but either way the MJ mania once again is going to shake the world no matter how hard Jaffar really tried to look and feel like his uncle.Multiple MJ songs re-enter the charts although they never really left.

The new blood straight from Africa is WizTheMC who has already made his presence loud collaborating with Tyla or with Bees & Honey for "Show Me Love" which has achieved gold certification in the UK, and top five chart positions both in the UK and Germany with over 193M streams on Spotify.Known for blending pop, hip-hop, and R&B his brand new single "Wait For You" is noted for its melodic and polished production.This is an emotional track highlighting themes of patience, hope, and romantic devotion and it's currently trending among the new songs this month.Summer needs afrobeat soul notes and this is a good choice.

DUBDOGZ, FEZZO, ZAARK - HOW DOES IT FEEL

 Have a great week soundfisters...

Bow that my Twitter account is back you can always use my social media in order to get more from this blog and be as soon as possible notified about what this blog features.

This may not be a true "Blue Monday" but Mondays had always a negative feeling cause it's the beggining of another hard work week.But ever since New Order had released this iconic tune becoming the best 12 inch ever existed something feels different when the soundwave hits the air.This may a sacrilage covering this classic but Brazilian duo Dubdogz, Fezzo and rapidly ascending also Brazilian Tech house dj Zaark dared to make it."How Does It Feel" feels good by the way but why use it when the original hits just as hard as it's very first day in the world.The truth is that this collab is among the most popular among the dj world so i thought you should now and fits perfectly for this day.
