Alessandra – Fairly Satan

I really like this! I really favor it to her Eurovision entry, principally as a result of how laborious its massive pop refrain hits. The beat has such texture and drive.

Bingo Gamers & Peyruis – Static Physique (ft. Marlene)

I’m all the time looking out for good dance tracks and this one scratches my itch for upbeat 2000’s-era sounds.

Dagny – Similar Once more (For Love)

That is just about excellent pop. The melodies and manufacturing are so tight.

Dom Dolla & Nelly Furtado – Eat Your Man

Nelly Furtado is again, and she or he’s apparently nonetheless a Maneater.

Dua Lipa – Dance The Night time

Dua can’t miss with this disco sound. Initially, I feared the music is likely to be too slight, but it surely’s held on with an iron grip over the previous few weeks.

Jake Shears – Actually Huge Deal

Jake Shears’ new album is admittedly nice and that is considered one of my favourite tracks on it. It feels like classic Scissor Sisters.

Leigh-Anne – Don’t Say Love

Such nice 2000’s-era nostalgia!

Ollie Wride – Victoria

I’ve been following Ollie Wride since he first burst onto the scene within the early 2010’s, and I can confidently say that is considered one of his greatest tracks. Should you like 80’s synth rock or The Killers, you’ll love this.

Phelly – Sen blir du stark

Phelly continues her run of very good synth pop.

Purple Disco Machine – Unhealthy Firm

Latin freestyle is considered one of my favourite sub-genres, but even with the trade’s 80’s obsession nobody appears to be touching this sound. Purple Disco Machine have set issues proper with this summer time spotlight.

Purple Disco Machine – Paradise (ft. Sophie and the Giants)

It’s Purple Disco Machine once more! This time they’ve pulled in frequent collaborators Sophie and the Giants for a catchy bit of recent dance pop.

Slayyyter – Out Of Time

That is in all probability my favourite music of the bunch. It simply hits all the best notes for me, from its propulsive groove to the slick, dramatic melodies.

The Band CAMINO – Final Man In The World

As soon as the refrain will get going, Final Man In The World by no means appears again. It hits surprisingly laborious.

The Weeknd – In style (ft. Madonna & Playboi Carti)

This music is SO addictive, completely capturing the early-00’s hip-hop funk of The Neptunes by way of an sudden collaboration. I can’t cease taking part in it.

Tove Lo – I Like U

Tove Lo is totally inhabiting Robyn’s tears-on-the-dancefloor dance pop with this one.
