U2 ft DOLLY PARTON - TORN

 The last recording Dolly Parton made before he passing was this one with U2.The story goes like this...Bono initially approached Dolly for a different musical project. She instead offered him a song called “Torn”. Bono and Johnny McDaid subsequently reworked its lyrics around a mother watching her family fall apart.Dolly was reportedly very proud of the finished recording and had the opportunity to approve the final mix before her death.In fact there are two different versions of the song.An album version appearing on "Carnaval De Luz" the brand new U2 album outthis Friday and Kent Wells Version: A more explicitly country-oriented arrangement.This is an unexpected meeting of two very different musical worlds. U2's rock sensibility meets Dolly's country storytelling, while the subject of family conflict gives the duet a universal emotional dimension.The song was co-written by U2, Parton and Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid while Daniel Lanois, a longtime U2 collaborator and celebrated producer, contributes pedal steel guitar, giving the track an authentic country atmosphere."Torn" is one of the most emotionally significant collaborations of their career and a piece of history.

JENNIE - SOMEONE TO HOLD

 Surprising good the new Jennie single that needs the hit status.Unlike some of Jennie's more attitude-driven solo material, this is a warmer, more emotionally expressive performance, allowing her vocals to shine over a colourful and uplifting disco-infused pop production."Someone to Hold" is written for Netflix's upcoming animated movie "Steps".Blending shimmering strings, an infectious bassline and layered vocals, the song combines vintage dance-pop influences with a contemporary neo-disco sound."Steps" is a fresh and unconventional reimagining of the Cinderella fairy tale. Instead of focusing exclusively on Cinderella, the film explores the story through the perspective of her stepsister Lilith.The song represents the sisterhood between Lilith, Cinderella and Margot, accompanying an important emotional moment in the movie which is going to be released on November 20, 2026.Interestingly, the song had already received a nomination in the Song Animated Film category at the 2026 Hollywood Music in Media Awards before its official release and why not a future Oscar nominee...

TAKE THAT - HIGHER

 This is probably the best Take That single in years that would have been a number one back in the 90s or sung by BTS."Higher" is a vibrant, disco-infused pop track serving as the fifth single from their forthcoming tenth studio album, "Dreamers", scheduled for November 20.It creates an irresistible feel-good atmosphere hard to resist or to press the repeat button.The involvement of Maurice White, the legendary co-founder of Earth, Wind & Fire, in the songwriting credits adds an extra disco connection to the track and a high rating in my playlist.

ELVIS GUETTA & JAMES BROWN - THE BOSS

 Like father like son.....David Guetta's son on his footsteps amd a new generation of Guetta history is ahead of us.Using a legendary voice such as the one from the godfather of soul Elvis Guetta presents his debut single.The track reworks James Brown's iconic 1973 funk classic "The Boss" into a punchy, club-ready house production. Retaining Brown's unmistakable vocal presence, Elvis builds a contemporary four-to-the-floor groove, blending funky influences with modern tech-house energy.At just 22, Elvis is making his first official recording statement after gaining experience behind the decks at major clubs and festivals. This is ok but if you want my opinion try the original (in case you are genz) cause is simply a classic.

 Too much "y"s for Slayyyter who returns with a brand new single while "Dance" is still the most appealing song from her.Slayyyter, whose real name is Catherine Grace Garner, is an American singer-songwriter from St. Louis, Missouri that eventually she will have a big hit at some point just as long she denies the chaotic electronic pop she chooses in most of her choices."hey boyyy" is the fourth single from her forthcoming album "wor$t man in america" arriving December 4.The song starts with a thrilling collision of indie sleaze, electro-pop and rave-inspired energy which i had to handle till i reached the most interesting part which is the bridge of the song.The surprisingly melodic chorus is what kept me in touch with "hey boyyy" that over all is an interesting new release.
