Lizzo is back with her new single the first one in two years after the hard times she faced with some allegations about her behaviour.Her new song is called "Love In Real Life" and a brand new so far untitled album is on the way.The 80's inspired energetic new single sounds like "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince meets all the new romantic sound from that era.Overall is a nice single but there is not the hook in it that will captivate the audience for far too long.The pop rock dance vibes are inprinted into the dance music video for the song that also pay homage to the 80's era.I was expecting something far more better.
His shoot to stardome led to a nomination for Best New Artist at the Grammys and left "Beautiful Things" to eternity whether he remains a one hit wonder or maybe there is something more coming from Benson Boone.The 22-year-old singer, who dropped out of American Idol several years ago just released this week his brand new single "Sorry I M Here For Someone Else" his first for 2025.Is this the first single from a brand new album coming later this year or part of a deluxe version of his last year's album nobody knows for now but either way my feeling after hearing this one is that it will make definitely an impact on radios and it will gain a lot of listeners.Hit alert...
When you are adding to an already buzzing collaboration an extra name in the size of John Summit then the "Hypnotized" process becomes more effective.The song has already caused a massive dj use ever since it was released and now gets an extra reason for this to be played in large crowds.This collaboration is among the top dance new releases of the month and it will spend multiple plays till iy burns out.
It's really funny how many "few days songs" there are out there and how the itunes responds in any artist's death also for 2-3 days as a final tribute after a long forgotten period.Same thing happened with the recent Roberta Flack's passing same thing happened with all the latest Craig David's singles.But this time things might go different since Craig is trying a heavy infused afrobeat new song with rising Tiwa Savage as a duet.This is a delicious offering in which David and Savage trade verses about the complicated nature of love.Nice one...
Remember when last year Cyril became a trend dj with his take on "Stumblin In" a late 70's hit by Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro? Well since Tik Tok can create trending hits and gives the opportunity to djs all over the world to have Cyril's fate it's not strange that a this duo came out of nowhere with their take on Creedence Clearwater Revival's 1971 classic "Have You Ever Seen The Rain". Same production as Cyril used, same connection with Tik Tok Users so is this the new mega out of nowhere hit?The 70's are back one way or another and re-discovered.
So much music and so much history behind Simple Minds.Starting from the 80's they produced iconic songs that over the decades they remain untouched by time and guess what they are still around making new music and live concerts.Their latest single was released to celebrate the premiere of the acclaimed BBC documentary "Simple Minds Everything Is Possible" and this is a brand new mix that stands out from the new releases this week.The innocent spirit of the early days and and why this band was destined to make great music is on every note on "Your Name In Lights".Sara Brown provides the female vocals on it and you better discover Simple Minds instead of listening to a lot of crap that are considered hits.
Pop wannabe queen Dove Cameron returns with "Too Much," a dark pop-tinged single that marks her new era. A relentless beat and Cameron's crystal clear voice make this campy kiss-off a must-listen and a candidate for the charts.In a world where even Lady Gaga struggles to manage it in the charts with her pop outfit you can expect anything even it's "Too Much" for Dove Cameron.If you are deep into pop music then this one should probably excite you and put singer-actress Dove Cameron the place Damiano from Maneskin has her.
D.O.D is among the top dj-producers in the Uk who's fame extends the island borders.Well his brand new single "Wrap Yourself Around Me" is an emotive house track that manages to be both an embrace and an exit wound.The song features NORTH, a rising singer-songwriter who recently featured on tracks by Gorgon City and Wilkinson.There's a special kind of loneliness that comes after someone says "I love you" and "goodbye" in the same breath and NORTH's lyricism crystallizes that moment atop propulsive house production from D.O.D.D.O.D's first single for 2025 sounds like a soon to be announced a hit single in the Uk.
As we are approaching the carnival highlight there's no perfect way to get into the latin mood than this one.The opening track from the latest Bad Bunny album stays strong among the most streamed songs around the globe for several weeks now making "NuevaYol" (meaning New York) one of the succesful latin songs so far.Bad Bunny's sixth solo studio album "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" has sold already a lot.The sound of Puerto Rico with the sample of "Un Verano en Nueva York" by Andy Montañez and El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico at the opening of the track will get you moving with no doubt.
If case you are wondering L stands for large and not legendary as both of them are trying to become ones. The Blackpink singer and breakout rapper teamed up for new song "ExtraL" and the powerful duo are causing a significant wave in music the first days of it's release.Jennie’s upcoming solo album, "Ruby", out March 7 will produce more singles as Doechii's rise to fame after winning Best Rap Album for 2025 is making her one of the hottest names around right now.The question remains-for how long cause shooting stars and bright planets are two different things.
From the production mind of Pharrell Williams a "LV Bag" in a form of a single is currently making waves cause on it it's Don Toliver, BTS J-Hope and Speedy.The song was first unveiled in January during fashion house Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter runway show at Paris Fashion Week.The track also marks J-Hope’s first new music since he was discharged from his mandatory military service last October.On the other hand Houston rapper Toliver is gaining more and more popularity and it won't be long till his first massive hit.This one is a rather laid-back, intoxicating track that blends the best elements of hip-hop, R&B, and trap.
With the release of her brand new album "So Close To What" Canadian pop singer Tate McRae just keeps proving herself to be such a force to be reckoned with. Her athleticism is crazy too, damn and her brand new single after "Sports Car" is "Revolving Door"."All 15 doors on the video representing each track on the album, she wrote in an Instagram post promoting her new music.The track begins its slow progression toward the dance-pop style that McRae often perfects. The decision to keep the tempo restrained for the majority of the track only enhances the impact of the eventual crescendo, giving the song an emotional weight that makes the final explosion of sound incredibly satisfying.For what it's worth this is the pop music of today like it or not...
Last week the pair Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco released "Scared Of Lovind You" without any big expectations after the first listening but things have changed on this brand new one.Not just because "Call Me When You Break Up" is far more catchy but because it has Gracie Abrams on board one of the hottest names around right now.The song is the second single off of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's upcoming collaborative album "I Said I Love You First", set to be released on March 21, and in my personal opinion can dominate radios for quite sometime not to mention people using it for their Tik Tok videos. And if my prediction is roght then the charts will gladly host the song in the highest positions.
Ever since she collaborated with Purple Disco Machine her name became wider known in public and brought her more collabs with other producers. But the name Sophie And The Giants has produced many dance banger in the past that people just haven't heardHer brand new single "Red Light" is a club-ready production with focussed, intensely catchy melody wich is an ode to throwing away your worries, and letting go of your inhibitions.Good choice Sophie...
This is what i call modern and perfect pop music.Marina has always been ahead of many pop artists and maybe that's why the charts never really understood her greatness.Her 2025 era begins with brand new single "Butterfly" causing the known effect from start to finish.Her sixth studio album is on the way and this new single starts as a child song that evolves in an electropop bliss with her etherial vocals creating a hook on mind body and soul.If you are looking for a very good new release this week there you have it.
With djs and producers making music all over the world and Afrohouse beats popping up everywhere you never know which one will make the biggest impression and find it's way to become a dj favourite.DJ Batuhan Kınık from Turkey, with his passion for house/tech house and afro house music collaborates with Afronom who with his captivating blend of ethnic rhythms are delivering "Waka" a tune that lately is coming to the spotlight with a quite wide spread out among djs and the dance scene.This is something you need to check out...
The German producer duo Lynnic & ItsArius will embark on a sonic journey that delves deep into the depths of melancholic deep house and "Maze Of Memories" is the perfect example to begin with.Their debut album "Melancholia" acts as the perfect illustrator towards the genius minds of this act, with the body of work as a whole, more than set on creating a listening experience that is quite frankly out of this world.Blending hypnotic synths, tight drum grooves, airy vocals and gentle melodies are all over their latest single "Maze Of Memories" that will get you lost with no hope of getting out.
Kendrick Lamar's beef with Drake has a no action so far by the Canadian rapper but a joint album release with Partynextdoor.The highlight of the album is "Nokia" a playground of absurd synths with an 80s-obsessed feeling. It’s absolutely preposterous but very catchy, easily the brightest spot on the album and that's why it's trending so much ever since the release of the album "Some Sexy Songs For U".The real Drake album will come really soon but till then this one will still the impressions.
Self Esteem AKA Rebecca Lucy Taylor is the closest to Lady Gaga you can ever get with her latest single "69" (ring a bell?).This is the cheesiest song in years that was released on Valentine's day with full instructions in case you never knew.A list of sex positions with rates in a frenzy house beat is the best you can get and it's more than enough.This is a song that will never play on the Uk radios just like it happened with FGTH's "Relax" and if you hear it anywhere else it will stick with you forever.The newly released track also features drag icon Meatball while Self Esteem’s eagerly anticipated new album "A Complicated Woman", is due for release on April 25. Keep her name cause she is going become huge
Backstreet's back alright....The Backstreet Boys are celebrating 25 years since their five-time Grammy-nominated masterpiece, "Millennium" with a major reissue this summer and a Millenium Shere show this summer. "Millennium 2.0" a deluxe edition of the historic album will feature 12 remastered original songs, along with live recordings, demos and B-sides for songs like "I Want It That Way" In addition, the expanded tracklist will include a brand new single titled "Hey".The new single "Hey" is of course not at all innovative. A few piano notes and the band members taking turns singing, that remains the tried and tested recipe. After all hey this is Backstreet Boys...
She is "Sweet N Short" in an expanded version with new songs and version to dominate more the music universe that currently spins around her.She remains the reigning queen of tart, delectable pop with 4 new songs and a brand new version of "Please Please Please" with Dolly Parton into this deluxe version of her album that will make you to buy it again.Clever disco-smash "15 Minutes" is my choice for now to shout out this brand new deluxe release which i m sure will be among the highest chart positions over the next weeks.
For quite some time now Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are together and after Selena's focus on the big screen it's time for her to return to music with her first single from the joint album her and Benny are going to release.Their upcoming collaborative album "Said I Love You First"is offering a candid glimpse into their love life with the right on time for Valentine's day "Scared Of Loving You".This guitar driven ballad could work for a couple of days or on an anniversary love date but it will hardly keep up after that.Nice song but not destined to create a global hit.
For years Alok is searching for the chart success cause in terms of popularity among the djs in the dance scene (actually he is at number 4 dj in the world) he is among the top.Now on the other hand Kylie is a pop queen for decades and she is always tries new sounds and new collaborators to promote her legacy.Just a perfect gift for fans on Valentine's day "Last Night I Dreamt I Fell In Love" is a ready pop radio smash depending on how much the promotion will work.I hate to tell you what i dreamt last night but for sure it wasn't love.A classic hit for Kylie and hopefully for the Brazilian dj Alok.
Iconic dance anthems never really go away and become a field for future producers to explore their skills and inspiration."Lola's Theme" was the debut single of British house duo the Shapeshifters, featuring soul singer Cookie on vocals. It was released on 12 July 2004 and features a samples from the introduction of Johnnie Taylor's R&B hit of 1982, "What About My Love" and a vocal sample taken from Anthony White's 1994 song "Love Me Tonight".This year trio frontliners in dance music Tripolism are making their own remix to this iconic anthem putting it once more on the playlist by the biggest djs around the globe.You need nothing more to spin this one..
Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd have a long story together and a new track which can be found only on the "Pharrell Williams" edition of "Hurry Up Tomorrow" will eventually emerge one way or another."Closing Night' is new track steeped in the seductive melancholy that has defined their collaborations thus far.The collaboration is another addition to a saga that began in 2021 with "Moth to a Flame",followed it up in 2022 by co-producing "Sacrifice" and "How Do I Make You Love Me?" on Dawn FM, projects that further wove The Weeknd into the fabric of the electronic dance music world.
Even though she didn't win the Grammy for me "Hit Me Hard And Soft" was the best album last year and many agree with that."Chihiro" was one of the stand out tracks of the album and that's why it was one of the first posts here when the album came out.Now the well known South African dj Nkosinathi Innocent Maphumulo better known by his stage name Black Coffee, made a remix for this track that for now is not an official remix.Hoping that it won't stay like this and Billie Eilish will give an approval to release it officially, dive into the vibes that Black Coffee often provides and let the bliss do the healing.
As difficult days are upon me yesterday's Super Bowl's appearence by Kendrick Lamar may had as they say a message for the American people but in Europe means less or nothing.I think that the worldwide diss that Lamar made once again for Drake will take them to court while Kanye West is one step closer to the madhouse with his latest statements.Next week will be a Kendrick Lamar upgrade on the charts which is only natural after the Super Bowl but for now there a couple more new things for you to check out as only Sound Fist knows how and why.
Now there's a new musical journey that goes by the name Avalan Rokston which in fact are two guys. Rokston is a producer and songwriter from Germany.Besides being accomplished writer and producer, he is also multi-instrumentalist, infusing his productions and live performances with a signature and authentic touch.Most recently, Rokston crossed paths with Avalan in Amsterdam and embarked on a collaborative journey in the studio. With Avalan having worked alongside Armin van Buuren, while Rokston rose to prominence as one of Germany's most promising young dance music producers "Something To Believe In" makes quite an impression and promises to become their breakthrough hit.If not i m sure it will happen in the very near future.
So far one of the best albums of 2025 is without a doubt "Eusexua" by FKA Twigs.The only reason she isn't a superstar like Billie Eilish is because she hasn't recieved yet a viral push by the media.This girl is more than an artist revolutionizing sound again and again. If someone deserves a Grammy nominee next year she is the one and i hope she ll get the recognition she deserves.Her third albu "Eusexua" is a must have cause listening to it is an experience.This sound is a genre on it's own and "Girl Feels Good" is my choice without being the representative sound of the album cause actually no one is.She is way ahead...
Every year we have a breaktrhough artist that goes strong even though he might be around for quite sometime.Alex Warren is no stranger to the blog but his new single "Ordinary" may put him in the stardome in 2025.This is a love song for his wife, just perfect for Valentine's day and it's among Warren’s most personal releases thus far, expressing his romantic belief that even angels are jealous of their love and how while too many people lose interest in finding "The One" he finds peace in having been lucky enough to find this picture-perfect kind of connection with his wife Kouvr.He is being selected to both Amazon Music and TIDAL’s 2025 Artists To Watch this song is here to create a long stay relationship with all the listeners.
How you can not be captivated when you hear Sade's 1985 timeless classic "Is It A Crime" even as a sample on a new release.It makes it automatically a no skip listen especially when it blends with Rema's African vibes.Grammy nominated Rema may not had a big chart topper last year with songs fro the "Heis" album but this one is announcing that the next album may contain some more bliss and maybe a hit by the Nigerian artist.The Afrobeats superstar thrills once again and makes it one of the most interesting new releases this week.
Sonny Fodera had one of the biggest hits in the Uk with "Somedays" along Jazzy and D.O.D and he is set for another one with "Tell Me" even though the buzz from his previous hasn't stopped yet.He was also nominated for "song of the year" at the Brit Awards 2025 so "Tell Me" comes just in time to prove that even a dance producer can get a nomination for song of the year.With long standing collaborator Clementine Douglas, who recently picked up the DJ Mag Best Of British "breakthrough vocalist" award "Tell Me" will only grow stronger for the next weeks becoming a hit without a doubt.
Ava Max releases her first single in 2025 and she links the 80's with a Kim Wilde sound like song."Lost Your Faith" is another solid entry to her discography and it's a message of love and hope.Although Ava released a couple of singles last year, "My Oh My" and "Spot A Fake", she had a relatively quiet 2024 in the charts as she prepared her third studio album.She needs a hit this year and although "Lost Your Faith" is a descent pop rock song this is not something that will storm the charts once again.
Are you ready for some girl power? A femme fatale trio is on the loose as Lisa recruits Doja Cat and Raye for "Born Again"."Born Again" is the fourth single for the Blackpink singer and rapper’s upcoming debut "Alter-Ego" and as Rose did with Bruno Mars she is aiming for a global hit with this one."Alter-Ego" will drop on Feb. 28, and Lisa will make her Coachella solo debut in April. The disco-tinged tune that folds in bits of electro-pop will storm up the charts next week without a doubt and it will last.
"Never Too Late" with Elton John and Brandi Carlile is an Oscar nominated song this year taken from documentary film, "Elton John: Never Too Late".It seems that these two didn’t just record the currently Oscar-nominated song but an entire album together. That 10-song set, "Who Believes in Angels?", will be released April 4 and the title song is the lead single.The two singers will also be doing what is being characterized as a one-off concert: "An Evening With Elton John & Brandi Carlile" set for the London Palladium on March 26, described as "a one-night-only event" of "performance and storytelling".As for the song if you still know what composing music and not computerized sounds like then this typical Elton John songwriting will create plenty of bliss.
Three days ago Dom Dolla dropped his latest single during his Melbourne live show and today "Dreamin" is here to blow up your speakers.While Daya provides the vocals this pumping hot dance anthem releases it's energy all through the song making it one of the best dance anthems this week.The Australian dj is among the top names when it comes to djs and he continues to prove that with his brand new tune.Keep "Dreamin".....
Sofi Tukker’s hit track "Hey Homie" got fresh life with a distinct remix from British bass producer TroyBoi.Their latest album "Bread" contains the original version of this one while their music may not got the needed mainstream attention but in dance music the spread out continues. TroyBoi’s remix offers a refreshing dip into a fully different world and i felted like spotlighting it on the blog.
After winning the best rap album of the year for "Alligator Bites Never Heal" Doechii becomes only the third woman winning this category and that made her explode the last few days with her latest single "Denial Is A River" and another coming in a few hours.Part of the song's success has to do with the video that links classic Black sitcoms such as "Family Matters".To tell you the truth i can not really connect with the song but many do and i have to point it out that this is a forthcoming hit the next days.
Ever since country music became so popular Morgan Wallen's star power only grows.Ahead of the release of his fourth studio album that goes by the same name "I M The Problem" will storm up the charts next week not only in the Usa but across the globe depending on how popular country music is there.Like i often say it doesn't matter which will be it's peak position after it's release but for how long will manage to stay there.No doubt that this pop country sound and the heartfelt lyrics makes it a good song so if are into this sound you should pay attention.
Just imagine if "Act Of God" was released by Lady Gaga as her brand new single.Then we would be talking on another level of how great and massive this banger is.But it's not Lady Gaga and it comes from the humble Layton Giordani an uprising dj through a series of acclaimed releases on labels like Afterlife and Drumcode, and he's once again proven his uncanny ability to blend minimalist techno with stadium-filling energy.Meanwhile, Linney and de Warren emerge as a powerhouse pair, their combined artistry elevating the track to transcendent heights. Equal parts introspective and explosive, "Act of God" is a slow-burning storm of ominous synth swells and bellowing basslines enhanced by haunting songwriting.Currently on Beatport's highest chart positions.
Beyonce finally won Album of the Year and Kendrick Lamar pulled off two remarkable major-category victories at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night.Song of the year for Kendrick? C mon really? And album of the year for Beyonce?I don't agree for any of these and once more the Grammys showed that they hear-vote diffently.No Teddy Swims no Billie Eilish but Chappel Roan and Sabrina Carpenter and even Lady Gaga with Bruno Mars that won best duet of the year.
Now Lady Gaga has a duality as a pop icon that should have please fans and an extremely talented adult songwriting that gives her the biggest hits."Mayhem" her brand new album is on the way in March and "Abracadabra" serves as the brand new single after "Disease" that you can say that it flopped and you can easily predict the same for this one.The song premiered during the Grammy commercial break and the category is… dance or die."Abracadabra" is a fast-tempo dance track, reminiscent of Gaga’s innovative dark pop hits from the aughts and early 2010s.I m not enthusiastic about this one no matter how much i love Gaga.
I didn't see that coming and i was deeply surpised hearing one of the most succesful English rock bands in the United States covering this song.Well Def Leppard released a cover of Ben E. King classic "Stand By Me" to support those affected by Los Angeles fires.Def Leppard's version is also featured in the Netflix film "Bank Of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger", which was released on January 10. Los Angeles and its surrounding area has always played a central role in Def Leppard's career, from it being where some of them are based and it being their U.S. hub for rehearsals, to being the city where they played their first-ever American gig. Def Leppard as you never heard before...
A new revelation for 2025 is here for you to enjoy.The NYC electronic duo The Knocks and Canadian dance-pop diva Dragonette reveal the first installment of their collaboration journey entitled "Revelation." The collaboration is a follow-up to their 2019 GRAMMY-nominated single "Slow Song". This time, they deliver a match made in synth-pop heaven. The campaign is set in a 1980's corporate liminal space at the fictional company Revelation Technologies. The video stars RuPaul's Drag Race winner Aquaria, who is the muse behind "Revelation".Martina Sorbara, better known as the electro-pop outfit Dragonette provides the vocals and just like that it's all about the 80's.
I m sure he was expecting something more regarding his solo career but so far "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart" for him.Damiano David, known well for fronting Maneskin, is back with a new cover via Spotify Singles. First released by Miley Cyrus and Mark Ronson, David gave his alternative spin on "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart".Making covers is a well known method for promoting a career and Damiano is testing it once more after Maneskin.Valentine's day is fast approaching and this is something you might want to consider.
The people from Greece have spoken and this year's Greek Eurovision entry is "Asteromata" by Klavdia.The song has a beautiful traditional melody with modern elements that explodes with Klavdia's voice which is something else.The 22-year-old singer , who we first met on "The Voice," Greece says she's ready to thrill the whole of Europe with her performance."Asteromata", with music and lyrics by Arcade, is an ethnic song that talks about refugeehood and uprooting.The song title used in Izmir to describe women with bright and striking eyes.The word tzivaeri in the lyrics comes from the Turkish cevahir, which means precious stone, precious gem. Metaphorically when we say to someone "my cevahir", we mean "my treasure". The message of the song is particularly resonant, as it speaks of the loss of homeland and the search for a better life. Klavdia drew her inspiration from the history of Pontic Hellenism, highlighting the genocide and uprooting of the Pontians.Hopefully the song will give chills when the song contest comes in May and why not even win the big prize.
