Are you feeling it too? – January can feel very long and dull. Am I right? But it’s great to know that we’re almost through it, and there’s a lot to look forward to in the coming months. I feel sure we all agree music is a great way to brighten up any day, and the past few months have seen some truly amazing releases. Therefore, it’s a good idea to take some time to appreciate the music that has helped us through the winter. And what better way to do that than listening to the newly curated “This Beat Is Poptronik 2024” playlist<\/strong>? Let’s turn up the volume and let some tunes lift our spirits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Beat is Poptronik 2024 playlist features\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We could hardly contain our excitement the other week when alt-pop’s Allie X<\/strong> unleashed the track “Off With Her Tits<\/a><\/strong>.” Not only is this song 100 per cent electronic (which makes us deliriously happy), with song lyrics powerful and thought-provoking, the song is without a doubt, the type of one-of-a-kind that only Allie X could bring to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

December is a difficult month to compete in, with the usual Christmas classics like\u00a0Wham!, Pogues ft Kirsty McColl, Mariah Carey<\/strong>, and\u00a0Michael Buble<\/strong>\u00a0taking up their annual chart residence. At the time, it didn’t make sense why Olly Alexander<\/strong> (Years & Years<\/strong>) should release the track “A V<\/strong><\/a>ery Bad Fun Idea<\/strong><\/a>” other than it being the title track from the upcoming movie “Bonus Track<\/strong>.” It’s bittersweet to note the song didn’t chart. Although, within a week of the track dropping we found out Olly is to represent the UK at Eurovision this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole debate about whether Ariana Grande<\/strong> sampled Madonna<\/strong>‘s “Vogue<\/strong>” or not became quite heated. However, in my opinion, she just channels the iconic song. But I do think that there is a clear tribute to Paula Abdul<\/strong> in the video. The video seems to be directly inspired by the one Abdul recorded in 1988 for her song “Cold Hearted<\/strong>“. It’s great to see present-day pop divas paying tribute to their peers. And that’s why “yes, and?<\/strong>” deserves to be highly placed on the “This Beat Is Poptronik 2024” playlist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
