When I chose the name of this blog, I didn’t think much about it. I was always starting new online projects at that time in my life, and didn’t expect to still be writing this blog 6 years later. Writing Dirrrty Pop has never stopped being enjoyable for me. If it ever does, then I’ll… Continue reading Important Dirrrty Pop News

I can’t remember anyone ever winning after having been on Andra Chansen (which literally means ‘the second chance’), but of course it is important that the places go to deserving people i.e.… Continue reading If I had another chance tonight

Star Pilots – HigherAlthough they make dance-pop,… Continue reading Melodi Club

Erik HassleWith Erik Hassle, it was love at first listen. OK, I only discovered him a few minutes ago, but I’m already obsessed. Some pop acts are just special and within seconds of the stunningly beautiful Hurtful I was certain that Erik belonged to that category. His other fantastic songs proved me correct.
