MILKY, MALL GRAB - JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

 More and more songs from the past are getting a second chance due to various reasons and another example is Milky's "Just The Way You Are" from 2002.The song returned to the UK Top 40 in February 2026 due to a viral new remix by DJ/producer Mall Grab. The updated version gained popularity on TikTok, leading to its re-entry nearly 24 years after its initial #8 peak.The collaboration bridges the gap between early-2000s vocal house nostalgia and the raw, kinetic energy of the contemporary underground.This new remix by Mall Grab the London-based DJ/producer, originally from Australia makes him really hot right now so expect something more this year from him.

AKYLAS - FERTO

 Have a great week soundfisters...

It was right and became true.Eurovision song contest is my guilty pleasure and every year this blog makes some references to the contest songs.And this year's Greek entry will make a big impact even win the contest depending on what else will come up.This guy followed his dream end ended up from singing in the streets of Athens for a living to win the Greek national contest."Ferto" is already viral in Greece and expected to do the same ober the next months all over Europe.This is a fun song about overconsuming and struggling to provide his mom all the things that were never there in their family.The song and the word "ferto" which means "bring it" consumes you and stucks with you from the very first listen and every time you press the play button it gets worse.A viral dance, a fun feeling and a message all in the same song makes it irresistible.We are not looking at a great composition here but a song that can stay in our minds and become unforgettable.Therefore i love it...

CONNIE TALBOT - HAPPY TOGETHER

 Connie Talbot is another talent waiting to be discovered through social media and platforms.And the best way to do that is making covers from classics such as this one."Happy Together" was released by The Turtles back in 1967 and for us gen x-ers is more than just a familiar sound.Talbot's cover version caught my ear and couldn't resist the need to be blogged here.As i often say there are some great releases out there that will disappear with no reason at all although they could become hits without a question.Until someone discover it in the future this is a great addition in my playlist.

JP COOPER ft GABRIELLE - SAD SONG

Thsong is part of JP Cooper 's newly released album , titled "Just A Few Folk" a more introspective and emotionally charged folk sound for JP Cooper.This is a duet with the ability to connect deeply with emotion, even within contemporary musical contexts.Nice choice and great reminder that Gabrielle has a great voice.

ZXKAI, SLXUGHTER - NO BATIDAO

 I have more faith in digital sales when it comes to music because it's very different when you are paying to buy a song than just stream it anywhere.But when it comes to Tik Tok, a viral dance that comes along and the spreading among the audience i give up."No Batidao" in it's original version or slowed or reverb is currently trending with SLXUGHTER providing the vocals along with it's creator ZXKAI.The provided info about this artist is that he comes from Russia and his expertee is Brazilian phonk and montagem music.Now if all of that are accurate anything is possible in this world including Brazilian phonk from Putin's lair.

DANNY L HARLE & DUA LIPA - TWO HEARTS

 Includingcollaborations including Dua Lipa, Caroline Polachek, Clairo, PinkPantheress, Oklou, MNEK, Julia Michaels and kacha, as well as his own daughters Grammy-nominated musician, producer, and composer Danny L Harle has released his debut album "Cerulean". His new collaboration with  Dua Lipa is one of the album's central highlights, continuing the creative collaboration between the two artists that began during the sessions for Dua Lipa's award-winning 2024 album, "Radical Optimism". Euphoric trance synths with classical harmonies, tactile sound design, and Harle's own field recordings of waves crashing on the shore are what his first album's sound is all about with "Two Hearts" being a part of this universe.Not really impressed by this single but Dua Lipa's first new song in 2026 makes it a tempting choice.

LYKKE LI - LUCKY AGAIN

 I don't need to hear the rest of the new releases this week in order to assume that the brand new Lykke Li single is one of the best maybe for the whole month.Don't expect new releases from big names this week but sometimes good songs comes from places you least expected.On May the Swedish songstress will release her brand new album "The Afterparty" and "Lucky Again" serves as the first single.When a song from the very first moment grabs you and keeps you captivated all through till end then you know you got a e favourite.Not to mention that "Lucky Again" could be a radio trend instanlyunless you got a bad taste i music.

ILLENIUM ft ELLIE GOULDING - DON'T WANT YOUR LOVE

 Illenium is a quite big name mostly in the Usa even though dance music is one of the less popular genres in the country.His sixth studio album "Odyssey" has been released and this pairing with Ellie Goulding has been released as a single.The album features moody melodic house, rock fusion, drum n bass, and his classic, cathartic melodic bass.The album is full with collaborations with names such as with Alna, Alok, Bastille, Bring Me The Horizon, Dabin, Dean Lewis, Elley Duhé, Emmy, Hayla, Kid Cudi to name few."Don't Want Your Love" is a rather trance radio friendly jam that could really work if it was given a chance.

FISHER - RAIN

 "Rain" has been praised in music so many times that i can't even count.It's time for you to add another song this time by Australian DJ and producer FISHER.This marks his first 2026 release with a peak-time dancefloor cut built around a rolling groove and a hypnotic, repeating vocal hook.FISHER is set to return to Ibiza for the second season and "Rain" will be among his highlights this summer cause these simple, powerful motifs are really working and fuels festival moments and late-night dance sessions.

MT JONES - I DON'T UNDERSTAND

 I do understand and i also know that there is plenty of good music out there but it's difficult to reach our ears unless you search music like i do.For instance "I Don't Understand" by MT Jones is a song that  blends the warmth of 60s and 70s soul with a contemporary garnish and a jazzy undercurrent.The song is taken from MT Jones upcoming album "Joy" out in March proving that there are still artists out there who made music like they used to.An MT Jones gem and a feel good Brit soul at its best.

MYLES SMITH & NIALL HORAN - DRIVE SAFE

 Have a great week soundfisters....

The first collaboration between Myles Smith and ex One Direction member Niall Horan was released this week marking the first Smith single for 2026."Drive Safe" is built around the idea that life will inevitably throw curveballs and present obstacles, but those moments are manageable when you have the right people around you.The message seems to be working so far since the downloads in the Uk are pretty good and all it needs is the streaming factor to enter the top 10.This summer, Myles Smith will join Ed Sheeran as the main support for his US tour and "Drive Safe" will be on the playlist for sure and maybe be dueting with Sheeran too.Folk-pop-rock is currently trending but not really my thing...

MORRISSEY - NOTRE-DAME

 Morrissey over the years he transormed himself from the iconic The Smiths singer to a controversial personality that often provokes the common sense.And that's what he does on his new single "Notre-Dame".The mid-paced indie-rock track, dominated by a wobbling synth line, was inspired by the tragic fire of the historical Parisian cathedral on April 15, 2019 and in it he notably omits a controversial lyric relating to terrorism that he sang live.That part in which he sings: "Before investigations/They said, ‘It’s not terrorism" once again caused criticism makes the second single to be taken from Morrissey’s forthcoming album "Make-Up Is A Lie" quite noticable this week.The album drops on March 6 and this song is actually quite good.

ALESSO & PENDULUM - FADE (EXTENDED MIX)

 Alesso opens 2026 by leaning into what he does best with stadium-scale Pendulum collab, "Fade". Anchored by Rob Swire’s (Pendulum) commanding vocal performance, the track slowly develops with cinematic tension before crashing into one of Alesso’s signature, airy drops.It’s an electro-ballad at heart and its balance of vulnerability and intensity seamlessly blurs the lines between rock-driven excitement and electronic euphoria."Fade" serves as a reminder of why Alesso’s melodic instincts have endured for over a decade and why this is one of the most interesting dance new releases this week.
