OLIVIA RODRIGO & CHAPELL ROAN - EXPECTATIONS

 The second big release of the week is this one. Although the song was already known from Olivia Rodrigo's album i thought that this duet with Chapell Roan as a new version would be a remixed one or maybe better. But in vain since it's almost the same apart Roan's vocals.In the video for the song there is a cameo appearence by David Byrne while the new wave-inflected bop filled with copious handclaps, squirmy synths, and buzzy guitar licks is expected to blow up the next days on the charts.Apart from that "Expectations" yes,it might be a part of this indie-pop era but it's not a song in my opinion that many ( maybe except fans) will remember in two years.There are better songs out there but unfortunately they don't have a Chapell Roan or Olivia Rodrigo to support them.

TATE McRAE - HOUSEWIFE

 There are two major releases this week and this is one of them.Tate McRae is a pop icon of our days but what do you want me to say when her brand single "Housewife" sounds too generic in my ears.Depending on her image and her appeal right now in the pop music scene the song will appear high or lower on the charts.The stunning visuals of the video for the song will definitely help the buzz around this new song by Tate but that doesn't change my first impression of the song.On the othe hand "Housewife" is a bold pop statement that challenges traditional ideas of relationships, success and domestic life.  Not every listener is entirely convinced about it's worth or not however, with some early fan reviews they are finding the lyrics clichéd despite appreciating the production and distinctive sound.With pop music penetrating my ears for so many decades i was expecting more from this one.

JUSTICE, TAME IMPALA, SZA & KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD - FLOWER IN A HURRICANE

 Video games are attracting more and more the attention of artists making huge contributions on the soundtracks of famous and global phenomenon games. And not only that cause like this one most of them are huge collaborations.French duo Justice score for the much-anticipated GTAVI game an electonic rock anthem that stands like a "Flower In A Hurricane".For that reason they team up with Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard switching off vocals on the track, which sounds like a modern take on a song gamers might have heard on the soundtrack for the Eighties-based Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the setting that GTAVI revisits albeit in a present day. The song also reunites Justice with Tame Impala, who was a contributor to the duo’s album "Hyperdrama".Some say that the song sounds a lot like Dire Straits "Money For Nothing" but i ll say that the moment i heard it it reminded me the riff from Rainbow's "Man On The Silver Mountain".Expect more all star singles over the next weeks related to the game and enjoy this one.

ZARA LARSSON - BLUE MOON

 Describing it as the "sister" of the album’s title track "Midnight Sun" and stating that it deserved a music video and greater recognition Zara Larsson continues to expand her pop attitude in the music world as one of the most noticable."Blue Moon" was later re-recorded with American singer Kehlani for Larsson’s remix album "Midnight Sun: Girls Trip" but in September 2026 in an article with Billboard, Larsson expressed her intention to promote "Blue Moon" as her brand new single.This is an euphoric dose of pop with some DnB details from MNEK who is among the songwriters that puts faith in Zara on becoming her next hit while " Midnight Sun" continues it's way up the charts after so many months. Zara is a pop icon nowdays whether someone agrees or not.

DIGGA - GIRLS ALL AROUND THE WORLD

 I haven't heard a song from that genre trending in the Uk in a very very long time. In the past decades artists like Shaggy, Aswad or UB 40 had huge hits with reggae influenced vibes in the Uk chart. I could explain it if we were moving towards summer but fall isn't exactly the right time for "Girls Around The World" to be a potential hit in the Uk the next days.The real reason for Digga to appear in the charts is a  Morrisson’s recent diss track sparking a wave of discussion across social media. The track divided opinion, with some listeners questioning the language and allegations used, while others defended Morrisson’s side of the story.And the question on how Digga would respond led him to troll rap fans with "Girls All Around The World" a viral reggae-influenced track instead of a response to Morrisson’s diss track!. From his rise through UK drill to chart success, controversy and the different chapters that have followed, Digga has continued to find ways to keep people talking.And this track is a nice surprise despite the reason is trending right now.

JUDELINE - LA FALDA

 It's not only Rosalia who's rising on the music world. Judeline is no stranger to the blog and she was highlighted before.Her real name is Lara Fernández Castrelo raised in Andalusia and her music is strongly influenced by her roots.With her new single Judeline takes a daring risk on "La Falda" anchored by a sample of Yann Tiersen’s iconic Amélie theme ("J'y suis jamais allé").Underneath the signature 808 thuds and classic reggaeton swing, warm flamenco guitar chops keep the track rooted in her signature sound. Judeline’s vocals float effortlessly over the beat, shifting between airy, whisper-soft melodies and slick rhythmic phrasing. The contrast between European film-score nostalgia and urban Latin syncopation gives the track an intoxicating energy.The song made quite an impression this week and was listed as one of the best new single releases.It needs to be heard and expand.

JACK SAVORETTI - TICK TOCK (SINGLE VERSION)

 Tick Tock...who's there? Jack Savoretti is with yet another sibgle from his latest album "We Will Always Be The Way We Were". Blending melancholic piano-led passages with a gradually expanding, almost anthemic arrangement, the song showcases the British-Italian singer-songwriter’s distinctive, husky vocals and emotionally direct songwriting.The song explores the passage of time, the complexities of life and the importance of self-expression. "Tick Tock" captures Savoretti’s gift for turning personal reflections into something universal, balancing vulnerability with a quietly uplifting message about finding one's place in an ever-changing world.And yet is another good song that unless Tik Tok doesn't embrace it it will stay in a corner in someone's life.

FONTAINES DC & ROSALIA - WHERE IS GONE

 Have a great week soundfisters....

And it starts with a great song that was made to be memorized in years and decades to come."Where Is Gone?" serves as Track 8 on Fontaines D.C.’s fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber (dropping October 16, 2026, via XL Recordings), and is notably the first-ever guest feature on a studio album in the band's career.Choosing Rosalia for this epic track was the best choice anyone could think of especially now that Rosalia has elevated her artistic identity to the best anyone would expect.Opening with cinematic, Ennio Morricone-esque grandeur and mid-century noir balladry, the track pits Grian Chatten’s gritty, bruised delivery directly against Rosalía’s haunting, flawless vocal phrasing.The duet sounds less like a typical indie-pop crossover and more like a lost, dark Bond theme directed by Nick Cave. Fontaines D.C. and Rosalía deliver an astonishing, spellbinding highlight that elevates the entire album and provides one of the best singles this year.

BIGXTHAPLUG ft AVA MAX - BURN

 This is a recipe that worked many times in the past. A trap or rap song with a female vocal hook was always something that drew attention.This time Texas hip-hop powerhouse BigXthaPlug joins forces with global pop sensation Ava Max for their collaborative single "Burn" (part of the project "Better Over Time").This fascinating fusion of gritty southern trap and soaring, stadium-ready pop-melody is among the new releases this week that drew my attention maybe because it sounded familiar as a structure. BigXthaPlug remains a rising rapper and fiercely authentic, while Ava Max elevates the track's chorus into a massive, radio-friendly anthem.In the past decade this would be a hit all over the place.What about today?

TROYE SIVAN - FF

 The easiest way to keep on the top spot a song is to release every week a variant like Taylor Swift does with almost every single she releases.On the other hand it's getting harder and harder for new songs to become hits unless the social media command it.More and more often songs from the past are getting attention due to variant reasons and AI music is on the rise whether you like it or not.

In this enviroment Troye Sivan released his brand new album with zero singles so far causing a minimum reason to buy it."FF" (an acronym for "F*ing Forever") stands out as one of the most raw and emotionally resonant highlights on Troye Sivan's album "She's the Best". Rather than writing about an existing partner, Sivan frames the track as an undying love song addressed to someone he hasn't met yet.But "fucking forever" with one partner is an utopia if Troye believes so which i bet he already knows. Co-produced and written alongside high-profile collaborators Jack Antonoff, George Daniel (of The 1975), Cirkut, and Jasper Harris, "FF" builds a moody, hypnotic atmosphere. Driven by steady rhythm work and subtle synth layers, the song moves between grounded, conversational storytelling in the verses and an expansive, chanting chorus.So far the best single he released from his new music attempt but still....Will it survive?

SIINA & SPARROW (CH) - STOCKHOLM SYNDROME

 This is a very poor week on new music releases so i had to dig deeper in order to find some "need to hear" sounds that might end up at your playlist. So today i ll make a stop in dance music for something that under certain factors could become your next dance "syndrome". SiiNa is a Paris-based DJ and music producer who has quickly made waves across the global electronic circuit supported by names like Rampa, Adam Port and more. With the help of Sparrow (born Bryan Coletta), a Swiss DJ, producer, and classically trained pianist they released "Stockholm Syndrome" a hypnotic masterclass in modern electronic rhythm.The track builds its tension through hypnotic percussion loops and rolling low-end warmth that steadily captures the floor making it a sophisticated club weapon. This is my dance proposal this week without a doubt.

MARC ATLAS - WASTE MY TIME

 It makes total sense when you hear Marc Atlas why he is considered a rising pop star.The way he sings and the way he sounds is the closest to Lewis Capaldi you ever heard and his brand new single will probably be his first big hit. With "Waste My Time" Marc Atlas opens a new chapter in his rapidly growing career. The emotional pop ballad puts his powerful, expressive vocals front and center and presents a noticeably more mature side of the 19-year-old artist. Even before its release, the single generated a viral momentum on Marc’s social media channels, leading to massive growth across all his platforms.Marc Atlas has already released his debut album "Nothing To Lose" back in March 2026 but now is the time to be discovered. This autumn, he will join Picture This as a support act before embarking on his first headline tour across Germany in spring 2027 and this song will be causing a frenzy trust me.We are already hear songs that this Christmas will be in our favourite playlist. Is this one of them? Yes it is...

It's a a standout gem that deserved far more than secondary bonus-track placement.So fans enjoy and support Britney's battle...

SLAYYYTER - I THINK HE'S GOT A GIRL

 I m not really sure where to put Slayyyter in the music universe. Is she pop? Is she alternative rock or a hybrid of the above?Slayyyter is turning heartbreak into another chapter of her increasingly chaotic music universe.On December 4, 2026 Slayyyter is going to release a brand new album called "Wor$t man In America" which is described as a “brother album” / companion album to "WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA", which was released in March 2026". "I Think He's Got A Girl" is the first single taken from this brand new album and it sounds rather interesting even from the first listen.Her modern pop-rock melodrama is in full display here but i m kinda curious on what receive it will get over the next days-weeks.One thing is for sure....She is on the rise and 2027 will be her year.Yes this is a prediction...

KOTIER - SMALLTOWN BOY

 As the new releases of the next week are about to emerge let's talk about the fact that many songs of the past for various reasons mostly coming from the social media are gaining popularity and even more attention than the new songs.Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy" is a hyper classic that lately is trending on videos on Tik Tok.The original version is still unmatched but during all these decades since the 80s several djs made dance covers, samples or whatever they could think of to bring back the classic or gain an attention.The latest attempt was released last July by Kotier an emerging electronic producer carving a niche in melodic house, indie dance, and deep electronic realms.Kotier’s rendition converts the original's new-wave melancholy into a sleek, kinetic melodic house groove. Built on driving synth basslines, crisp percussion, and atmospheric tension, the production mirrors the urgent feeling of escape central to the original narrative.While waiting for the new songs and due to once more trending classic there you are...
