 Canadian singer Tate McRae who rose to stardom over the last year along with Charli XCX are the purest pop ambassadors right now.It's Ok I M Ok" is McRae's lead single of her upcoming third studio album and has to compete with some major releases this week as you have already seen.The Ryan Tedder and ILYA produced song exudes a wealth of the dark, mid-2000s pop production with a  lingering hook paired with her catchy lyricism.This is going to be an umpredictible bop that will probably sustain her presence in pop music.

GRACIE ABRAMS - I LOVE YOU I M SORRY

 Have a nice week soundfisters...

Sometimes it takes several weeks till a song gets the "audience love" status since instant hits are rare these days.That's exactly what's happening with "I Love You I M Sorry" by Gracie Abrams taken from her "The Secret Of Us" album.Abrams made a name for herself following her EP "This is What It Feels Like" in 2021 and her debut album "Good Riddance" in 2023. But just like Chappell Roan's case all it takes is a slowly addictive song to make you explode in the music world.This is a song that seems to occupy the charts the next weeks for for a quite a period.It was released back in July...

ALEX WARREN - TROUBLED WATERS

 So far this is the best single i ve heard this week and it puts Alex Warren on my radar.While he is making a big impression in the Uk with his duet on his own "Carry You Home" this one i think will put him on the spotlight for good.The American singer-songwriter started his career from the social media and then pursued his music career beggining in 2021."Troubled Waters" is a power pop rock anthem that stays in mind from listen one and all it needs is a wide exposure to become a worldwide hit.Will he get it?

It really sucks when there is no new music around that worths my time and if there is few pays attention.Almost half of the itunes charts are full of old songs or album cuts by popular artists and the streaming charts are same o same o.One new song that really deserves to be a hit is the latest Rag N Bone's single "Rush Of Blood" that was released in a new remix by popular Uk dj D.O.D.I really like the original version better than this one but i guess in order to promote it a remix dance version was necessary.
