GORDO, REINIER ZONNEVELD - LOCO LOCO

 In past decades during carnival we had the appropriate music releases to dance with and many of those songs were international hits.These days latin music is limited to Bad Bunny and some more latin stars that are not fitting to this period unless you use pure samba sounds.A glipse of latin dance music comes from this dance production between Gordo and Reiner Zonneveld which is considered one of the best dance anthems right now.Featuring bilingual vocals in Spanish and English, "Loco Loco" really works in terms of creating a dance mood that will keep you in a "loco" state of mind.

KYGO, KHALID & GRYFFIN - SAVE MY LOVE

 Music success usually lasts for sometime and then you find yourself outdated especially if you use the same sound over and over again.Kygo is very talented but i think he is trapped into his computer loops.His new collaboration with also talented Gryffin and chart topper vocalist Khalid explores the devastation of realizing you were fighting for a love you never actually felt.Both Kygo and Gryffin are renowned for the piano house and tropical vibes and that's what they offer once again on "Save My Love".Are they still people out there that are willing to recycle a good production that we already heard a thousand times?

CANNONS - THESE NIGHTS

 On March 27 we will have the new Cannons album "Everything Glows" and the second single is here as if from today.With "These Nights" Cannons fuse a disco-infected groove with shimmering pop sensibility.The track delivers sonic depth while exploring the overwhelming weight of existence.And as i wrote many times before this trio deserves more than anyone a hit that will induct them to the creme de la creme of today's music.Maybe their fifth album will provide this status as if for "These Nights" will definitely make your days (not only nights) a much better life soundtrack.

 Whatever crap comes to her mind she releases it.Just because she is Lana Del Rey that doesn't mean that i m forced to tolerate that rubbish to my ear more than once.I normally wouldn't blog this song but it's a nice way to focus my anger on her.For years now she releases songs that are in the same mood, same pattern and there is still an audience that likes them."White Feather Hawk Tail Dear" is part of her new album "Stove" to be released late May early June.I leave this to fans i m not gonna hear it again or pay to see her live in any concert just to hear her early interesting stuff.Maybe this is a kind of art i really can't understand.

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 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.

 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.

MYLES SMITH & NIALL HORAN - DRIVE SAFE

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.

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.

SOMBR - HOMEWRECKER

 It's very difficult many times to make a true estimate on a single unless you let time to work on it. So at first i m not too enthusiastic nor disappointed on the new Sombr single.What i felt with "Undressed" from the very first moment didn't happen here.That doesn't change the fact that i think he is very talented and "Homewrecker" might prove me wrong (well sort of).This is his first new song and music video of the year and it explores the messiness of love, especially when you love someone who isn’t yours.His European tour is already sold out while once again, SOMBR is the sole writer and co-producer of his latest song, underscoring the weight of this talent. In addition to his Best New Artist GRAMMY nomination, he’s currently up for two prestigious BRIT Awards: International Artist of the Year, and International Song of the Year for "Undressed".

BILLY REEKIE - WHEN YOU WERE MINE

 Have a great week soundfisters....

The Grammys were given last night with Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga among the big winners of the night.It's funny how the music industry treat music today but that's just how things work these days.The "Aperture" declimax came sooner that i thought but it was expected for such a not a good choice.The other thing that's interesting is that more and more music from the past is getting once more an attention like Zara Larsson's "Lush Life" even "Boys Don't Cry" by The Cure.

On the other hand there is quite a lot of new music out there by new artists that are ready to hatch but all it takes is the right condition.For instance Billy Reekie, a singer-songwriter from Scotland, has been sharing his musical talents since the young age of 9.His latest single "When You Were Mine" has this 60s aroma all over it that reminds Stephen Sanchez's "Until I Found You" in a lot of ways that makes it attractive to my ears.What about yours?
