So, I believed I’d begin a month-to-month round-up of a number of the non-Ok-pop songs which have caught my ear. No scores — simply highlights!

Bentley Robles – Hyper Heartbreak
Bentley Robles’ new EP is improbable all over. All killer, no filler. For Ok-pop followers, that is the sound I’d love SHINee’s Key to pursue.
Chrissy Chlapecka – My Solely Dream Is To Be Liked
A repackage of her current EP provides a pair glorious tracks, together with this anthemic banger.
Confidence Man – Management / Actual Transfer Contact / Sicko
I’ve to characteristic a number of tracks from this album as a result of it’s already a 2024 favourite. They encapsulate 90’s dance music so completely and these hits simply get higher with each play.
D.O.D – Really feel The Ardour (Charlotte Haining)
Only a large ol’ dance monitor.
Erika Vikman – Myynnissä
She’s as unhinged as ever, with synth-powered insanity and a loopy NSFW music video. We’d like a brand new album!
Jade – Fantasy
The disco-powered Fantasy is extra simple than her debut single, however I might see that including to its longevity. The spectacular outro is well worth the worth of admission alone.
Kylie Minogue – Lights Digicam Motion
I’m principally together with this out of loyalty as a result of I don’t assume it’s one in all her finest (neither is the brand new album, sadly). We have to transfer previous spoken-word choruses.
Girl Gaga – The Joker
I’m actually not into the “Girl Gaga sings the requirements” shtick of Harlequin (she wanted to reinvent them in some way), however I just like the rock sound of this monitor.
LEXXE – Queen Of The Night time
This can be a Banger with a capital “B,” as is her complete new album. It’s additionally excellent for the Halloween season.
Loreen – Warning Indicators
Once more, I’m posting out of loyalty. That is fairly underwhelming and means too quick.
Maria Jane Smith – Adrian
I like this mix of 80’s pop and nation, and the melodies are extremely satisfying. That refrain is perfection!
Neea River – Alias
Not my favourite Neea River music, however she’s at all times good.
Nemo – Eurostar
That is their follow-up to the Eurovision-winning The Code and it’s actually good! I really like the distinction between the high-tempo EDM of the verses and the pomp rock of the refrain.
Ollie Alexander – Cupid’s Bow
One other Eurovision hopeful! That is stable dance pop.
Robin Packalen – Täydellinen ex
Robin continues his embrace of moody synthpop.
Senhit – Harmful
Very over-the-top, bombastic pop you’d anticipate to listen to as a part of Melodifestivalen or Eurovision.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Freedom Of The Night time
It’s like we’re again in 2003 once more! That is very stable and the instrumental solo towards the top is pure euphoria. Sophie’s nonetheless obtained it.
Vincint – Occurs All The Time (ft. Celebration Pupils & Durand Bernarr)
Not my favourite Vincint music this 12 months, however he’s been delivering nonstop.
