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.

"Hong Kong" feels like a love letter to the city’s cultural identity. It also highlights The Weeknd’s growing interest in creating music inspired by the places he visits on tour. Rather than simply adding a guest vocalist, it uses a piece of Hong Kong’s musical history to create a sense of place, longing and nostalgia.Not to mention that this old school RnB sound not only suits The Weeknd but it's also very much needed in music.A sunshine in this week's new releases.

SUPERDAYS - SUPERMODEL

 Another piece of music that needs attention but it will probably stay under the radar till this group make the big bang at some point. Superdays are a six-piece alternative indie band from Southeast London, known for their guitar-driven sound and keyboard textures. With their new single "Supermodel" the band embraces a colourful blend of disco, funk and glam-rock influences, bringing a distinctly retro flavour into a contemporary alternative-pop setting. A punchy bassline drives the track forward, joined by fuzzy guitar riffs, vintage-inspired synths and playful electronic flourishes. The result is a danceable, slightly mischievous sound that draws on the spirit of 1970s disco-rock while retaining an indie-band edge. Like i said before there is good music out there but you have to discover it. And all searching roads lead to Sound Fist.

KACEY MUSGRAVES - WEEKEND IN TEXAS

 One thing is for sure. Texas this year was the center of music with Ella Langley and now Kacey Musgraves bringing it's name once more on the spotlight.What made me surprised was the expansion of country music on the other side of the Atlantic this year especially the impact in the Uk. You know i m not a fan of the genre but recently i liked the Zach Bryan with Lana Del Rey duet and this one by Kacey Musgraves has something different.

"Weekend in Texas" finds Grammy-winning country star Kacey Musgraves celebrating her Texan roots with a playful blend of country-pop and traditional Tex-Mex influences. The track combines witty songwriting with mariachi-inspired horns, organ flourishes and a lively, dance-hall atmosphere and that's what makes it different to my ears."Weekend in Texas" previews "Middle of Nowhere Vol. 2: Tex Mex Tapes", a 16-track companion album scheduled for January 15, 2027 a project that further explores the musical and cultural connections between Texas and Mexico, including several Spanish-language performances.Interesting enough to earn it's place here.

 Looking in the UK top 40 this week there are at least 10 songs that are older releases or have a direct connection with the past.What that means for new music today is something that has different aspects but it's happening.

One of the songs that never became a chart hit since it's release in 2011 but it's a global tune for everybody ever since is M83's "Outro". On October 9 Jim Aves a Belgian DJ and producer who began his musical journey with piano at the age of nine before moving into electronic music production and Gid Sedgwick a British songwriter and vocalist associated with the electronic and trance scenes released their version on the song.This is a new dance interpretation of M83's iconic and tested in time "Outro" instrumental theme.

That's why you have to look further than the charts for great new music.

BOY GEORGE - WE WILL DANCE AGAIN

 Have a great week soundfisters....

Basically i am against mixing politics with music but it always happened and always will. From the 60's with anti-war songs to apartheid and feed the world or USA For Africa till the recent "free Palestine" artists "dared" to choose a side and make music for it.Just like a coin has two sides there are many out there who chooses to support Israel instead of the "free Palestine" movement that excuse my English but it's gone too far lately and became the new woke agenda. In a dangerous world Boy George made his choice and released "We Will Dance Again", a reggae-influenced track that became one of his most controversial musical releases.The track, which combines English and Hebrew lyrics, expresses solidarity with Israel and commemorates the victims of the October 7, 2023, attack on the Nova music festival. George also uses the song to challenge criticism of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, placing the release firmly at the intersection of music and politics.As it was expected and after even death threats for Boy George the song is currently on the spotlight demonstrating how music can become a flashpoint for wider political and cultural debates.In a democracy all voices must be heard when someone chooses to do so on the right time and on the right place.In any case it's anyone's choice to hear this song or another from the other opinion but forcing me to embrace or being manipulated on any side is what makes really angry.

ZACH BRYAN ft LANA DEL REY - LIES

 Next week two names will dominate the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.Fontaine D.C and Zach Bryan with multiple songs will leave no room for many others to enter the charts.One of the songs featured on Bryan’s brand new EP "Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs" is his duet with Lana Del Rey.Built around delicate piano and sweeping strings, the song explores the painful contradictions of a relationship in which desire outweighs honesty.Bryan brings his rough-edged, emotionally exposed vocal delivery, while Del Rey adds her signature dreamy, cinematic melancholy and that really works in my opinion.This is a ballad that can take this song very far all the way to Christmas and maybe beyond that.Zach Bryan and Lana Del Rey together is a pairing I’d happily hear more of. I love the contrast in their voices, and the piano and strings give them a beautiful setting to sing over."Lies" is an easy one to get caught up in and sing along with and that's what makes usually a song a crossover hit.

Released on October 15, 2026, "Spectral Eyes" is the lead track from "High Noon", their first studio album in nine years and their final due February 26, 2027. The song was written by Johnny Marr, the former The Smiths guitarist, who also contributes guitar and backing vocals.The release also carries emotional weight cause it features the final recordings of founding drummer Clem Burke, who died in 2025.This is a salute to the pop sound that defined the late seventies to early eighties a classic Blondie sound that defined them all these decades.The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band ruled the late 1970s and early ’80s with eight Top 40 hits, including four No. 1s: "Heart of Glass", "Call Me", "The Tide Is High" and "Rapture" which is regarded as the first No. 1 hit to feature rap.

HUGEL & SNOOP DOGG - H.O.U.S.E

 This release caps off an exceptional year for HUGEL. His first album, "Twenty One" was a great success internationally, while his hits "Movin To The Sun" (probably one of the biggest hits of the year) and "Jamaican (Bam Bam)" confirmed his status on the global electronic music scene.Now HUGEL and Snoop Dogg released "H.O.U.S.E" a new single that drops the Long Beach legend into the Latin house groove the French producer has turned into a global formula.To my ears this new dance tune sounds a lot like someone used Lil Louis "French Kiss" and then put Snoop Dogg rap on it.Now Snoop was already on HUGEL's mind since Snoop was already part of his album. He opens HUGEL’s debut album "Twenty One", handling the intro before the record moves into features from David Guetta, French Montana, Big Sean and Ultra Naté.As for this one i would like less Snoop rapping and more chopped vocals but eventually it will work especially if an instrumental version appears.

U2 - THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH

 For several weeks now U2 are preparing their comeback with several new songs that this blog has already reviewed."The Greatest Show on Earth" is the third single from the forthcoming album "Carnaval De Luz" co-written with longtime collaborator Brian Eno.It's a slow-burning, emotionally charged rock epic that combines their trademark atmospheric guitars with Bono’s deeply expressive vocals.Critics have praised the song’s powerful vocal performance, familiar yet compelling sound and carefully constructed crescendo. Bono himself has described it as one of the band’s greatest songs in years."The Greatest Show on Earth" is ultimately about the painful realisation that something once extraordinary may now exist only in memory.The song was released along the announcement of U2's "Greatest Show on Earth" world tour kicking of in latin America in 2027.You can't go wrong by choosing U2 for your playlist not to mention that it's a great song.

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?
