KACEY MUSGRAVES - WEEKEND IN TEXAS

 One thing is for sure. Texas this year was the center of music with Ella Langley and now Kacey Musgraves bringing it's name once more on the spotlight.What made me surprised was the expansion of country music on the other side of the Atlantic this year especially the impact in the Uk. You know i m not a fan of the genre but recently i liked the Zach Bryan with Lana Del Rey duet and this one by Kacey Musgraves has something different.

"Weekend in Texas" finds Grammy-winning country star Kacey Musgraves celebrating her Texan roots with a playful blend of country-pop and traditional Tex-Mex influences. The track combines witty songwriting with mariachi-inspired horns, organ flourishes and a lively, dance-hall atmosphere and that's what makes it different to my ears."Weekend in Texas" previews "Middle of Nowhere Vol. 2: Tex Mex Tapes", a 16-track companion album scheduled for January 15, 2027 a project that further explores the musical and cultural connections between Texas and Mexico, including several Spanish-language performances.Interesting enough to earn it's place here.

GRACE, PAUL OAKENFOLD, JULIAN FIJMA - NOT OVER YET

 More and more classics return just like i told you few days ago whether in their orifinal form or in a different way.Originally released by Grace in the 1990s, "Not Over Yet" became one of the defining tracks of the era, combining emotive vocals with an atmospheric, driving dance production. The original reached No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart and topped the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart, cementing its reputation as a club classic.Today the legendary dance anthem returns in a fresh collaboration between Grace, trance pioneer Paul Oakenfold and Dutch DJ and producer Julian Fijma.Oakenfold’s involvement makes this new interpretation particularly fitting, given his central role in the original track’s success. Julian Fijma adds a contemporary production perspective, connecting the anthem’s enduring emotional appeal with today’s dance-floor sound. With its powerful legacy and renewed energy, "Not Over Yet" is a reminder that some dance records never lose their magic.

TOM GRENNAN - WRAPPED IN GOLD

 I m wondering how does it feel to have the most succesful song in the Uk ever, in terms of staying the most weeks at number one and you must release your brand new song. British singer-songwriter Tom Grennan after "Reign Me In" he releases his brand new single "Wrapped in Gold" that acts as a refreshing counterweight to the bombastic, radio-engineered formulas of contemporary commercial pop.While the track is built on an acoustic bedrock, the final studio production expands the arrangement smoothly. It features a steady tempo, a swelling guitar framework, and subtle percussion that elevates the track without crowding its core intimacy.This is probably the lead single of a brand new album coming next year and with the impact Grennan has in the Uk right now is this a feature number one on Christmas?

Prospa layers in their classic 90s rave euphoria, driving that track home with an infectious uplifting vocal loop and hook credited alongside Rohan Pinnock-Hamilton.Although i m not really a fan of this one i can't ignore the fact that this week is the top choice for djs around the globe.

TEXAS - ANOTHER WAY TO CRY

 When you have so many wonderful memories from an 80s band and Sharleen Spiteri's voice then having a brand new song in 2026 is the best thing that can happen to you on a Wednesday afternoon. Scottish pop-rock favourites Texas return with "Another Way To Cry", a brand-new song that was released as part of the celebrations for the 30th anniversary of their landmark album "White On Blonde". Rather than simply revisiting their familiar hits, the band explore a richer, soul-infused sound, drawing inspiration from Northern Soul and bringing brass and strings into the arrangement. The result promises another showcase for Sharleen Spiteri’s distinctive, emotionally expressive vocals.Along with new music comes and a major UK and European tour in 2027.The song is accompanied by a video filmed in the Scottish Highlands and directed by Niall Trask, starring Spiteri alongside actor Robert Carlyle.You can't go wrong by choosing Texas today...

JIM AVES & GID SEDGWICK - OUTRO

 Looking in the UK top 40 this week there are at least 10 songs that are older releases or have a direct connection with the past.What that means for new music today is something that has different aspects but it's happening.

One of the songs that never became a chart hit since it's release in 2011 but it's a global tune for everybody ever since is M83's "Outro". On October 9 Jim Aves a Belgian DJ and producer who began his musical journey with piano at the age of nine before moving into electronic music production and Gid Sedgwick a British songwriter and vocalist associated with the electronic and trance scenes released their version on the song.This is a new dance interpretation of M83's iconic and tested in time "Outro" instrumental theme. Reworking such a recognisable composition presents an intriguing challenge: preserving its monumental emotional impact while introducing it to a new generation of electronic music listeners.Currently this release is trending a lot in the Uk and my prediction is that this new version will spread across the globe restoring it's chart injustice. That's why you have to look further than the charts for great new music.

FONTAINES D.C - JAPAN

 I can't get enough of the new Fontaines D.C album easily one of the best albums of the year if not the best. Next week multiple songs from the album will appear on the charts with many of them establishing a very personal relationship with the audience. From this no skip album "Japan" is another favourite from "Dopamine Chamber". Blending dreamy indie pop with acoustic guitar and ethereal synths, the song reveals a softer, more intimate side of the Irish band.With its understated delivery, atmospheric production and unsettling emotional undercurrent, “Japan” is a compelling reminder that Fontaines D.C. can be just as captivating in quiet moments as they are at their most explosive. With a video starring Charlie Heaton, best known for playing Jonathan Byers in Netflix's Stranger Things this song will also chart high next week along with their duet with Rosalia which serves as the promoted single.

 Swedish DJ and producer Alesso has one of the most interesting new dance anthems this week.

Aragon’s powerful, haunting vocals bring the song’s central message of devotion, protection and unwavering commitment to life.Aragon is no stranger to high-profile dance music collaborations, having lent her vocals to Kaskade’s "Runaway" among many more.The melody the instruments arrangement and the whole environment makes "Fight For Love" an easy choice for anyone's playlist.

BOY GEORGE - WE WILL DANCE AGAIN

 Have a great week soundfisters....

Basically i am against mixing politics with music but it always happened and always will. From the 60's with anti-war songs to apartheid and feed the world or USA For Africa till the recent "free Palestine" artists "dared" to choose a side and make music for it.Just like a coin has two sides there are many out there who chooses to support Israel instead of the "free Palestine" movement that excuse my English but it's gone too far lately and became the new woke agenda. In a dangerous world Boy George made his choice and released "We Will Dance Again", a reggae-influenced track that became one of his most controversial musical releases.The track, which combines English and Hebrew lyrics, expresses solidarity with Israel and commemorates the victims of the October 7, 2023, attack on the Nova music festival. George also uses the song to challenge criticism of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, placing the release firmly at the intersection of music and politics.As it was expected and after even death threats for Boy George the song is currently on the spotlight demonstrating how music can become a flashpoint for wider political and cultural debates.In a democracy all voices must be heard when someone chooses to do so on the right time and on the right place.In any case it's anyone's choice to hear this song or another from the other opinion but forcing me to embrace or being manipulated on any side is what makes really angry.

ZACH BRYAN ft LANA DEL REY - LIES

 Next week two names will dominate the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.Fontaine D.C and Zach Bryan with multiple songs will leave no room for many others to enter the charts.One of the songs featured on Bryan’s brand new EP "Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs" is his duet with Lana Del Rey.Built around delicate piano and sweeping strings, the song explores the painful contradictions of a relationship in which desire outweighs honesty.Bryan brings his rough-edged, emotionally exposed vocal delivery, while Del Rey adds her signature dreamy, cinematic melancholy and that really works in my opinion.This is a ballad that can take this song very far all the way to Christmas and maybe beyond that.Zach Bryan and Lana Del Rey together is a pairing I’d happily hear more of. I love the contrast in their voices, and the piano and strings give them a beautiful setting to sing over."Lies" is an easy one to get caught up in and sing along with and that's what makes usually a song a crossover hit.

MORRISSEY - ISLE OF DOGS

 Two previously unreleased B-sides are on the loose by Morrissey since last Friday and "Isle Of Dogs" is my pick between them.It appears as the B-side to the "Kerching Kerching" 7-inch vinyl single and was written by Morrissey and Alain Whyte, his longtime musical collaborator.The song revisits the distinctive world of Morrissey: sharp-edged British alternative pop, theatrical delivery and a melodic sensibility that recalls his solo catalogue and the legacy of The Smiths.It feels an intriguing return to a more vintage Morrissey sound that's why i picked it over "Without Music The World Dies" the other unreleased track also released this week.

BLONDIE - SPECTRAL EYES

 At some point the end would come....The new single from Blondie marks the return of one of new wave’s most enduring bands. Released on October 15, 2026, "Spectral Eyes" is the lead track from "High Noon", their first studio album in nine years and their final due February 26, 2027. The song was written by Johnny Marr, the former The Smiths guitarist, who also contributes guitar and backing vocals.The release also carries emotional weight cause it features the final recordings of founding drummer Clem Burke, who died in 2025.This is a salute to the pop sound that defined the late seventies to early eighties a classic Blondie sound that defined them all these decades.The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band ruled the late 1970s and early ’80s with eight Top 40 hits, including four No. 1s: "Heart of Glass", "Call Me", "The Tide Is High" and "Rapture" which is regarded as the first No. 1 hit to feature rap.

HUGEL & SNOOP DOGG - H.O.U.S.E

 This release caps off an exceptional year for HUGEL. His first album, "Twenty One" was a great success internationally, while his hits "Movin To The Sun" (probably one of the biggest hits of the year) and "Jamaican (Bam Bam)" confirmed his status on the global electronic music scene.Now HUGEL and Snoop Dogg released "H.O.U.S.E" a new single that drops the Long Beach legend into the Latin house groove the French producer has turned into a global formula.To my ears this new dance tune sounds a lot like someone used Lil Louis "French Kiss" and then put Snoop Dogg rap on it.Now Snoop was already on HUGEL's mind since Snoop was already part of his album. He opens HUGEL’s debut album "Twenty One", handling the intro before the record moves into features from David Guetta, French Montana, Big Sean and Ultra Naté.As for this one i would like less Snoop rapping and more chopped vocals but eventually it will work especially if an instrumental version appears.
