Scottish pop favourite Allan Jay is setting the tone for summer 2025 with the release of his latest single—a bold, dance-infused rework of Wham!’s iconic hit “Club Tropicana”. Now available on all major platforms, the two-track release puts a fresh spin on the ’80s classic, blending nostalgia with high-energy production and Allan Jay’s unmistakable flair. This acts as the follow-up to his previous collaboration with Rob Moore titled “Summer of Love”.
Bringing this fresh version to life, Allan Jay has teamed up with SP Music and Dutch remix powerhouse Matt Pop, known for his work with pop icons such as RuPaul, Erasure, Steps, and Kim Wilde. Together, they’ve crafted a high-octane production that stays true to the spirit of the original while giving it a glossy, modern club makeover.
The single is presented in two versions—both remixed by Matt Pop—with the extended mix dialling up the retro dance vibes, making it a perfect fit for any Pride playlist or summer night out.
To match the bold sound, the music video delivers on style and spectacle. Directed by long-time collaborator Kris Kesiak, the colourful visual features a dazzling lineup of drag talent from across the UK scene, including Snow White Trash, Portia d’Fosse, Stephanie Von Clitz, and D’Arcy Knox. The video also stars emerging performers Connor Crow, Niklas R Liljesand, and James Cohan, adding further charisma and choreography to the vibrant production.
Allan Jay has carved out a strong presence within the LGBTQ+ and independent music scenes, with past releases earning him chart success and accolades. He first turned heads with his feature on Rob Moore’s remix of “Gotta Get Thru This,” which reached Number 1 on the DRT Global Top 150 Independent Artists Airplay Chart.
His career highlights to date include being named ‘Entertainer of the Year’ at the 2023 Proud Scotland Awards, alongside a string of award wins including at the LGBTQ Music Vote 2016, solidifying his place as one of the UK’s most dynamic queer performers.
With “Club Tropicana”, this rising LGBTQ+ star not only honours a pop classic but reinvents it with a bold, summery twist with Matt Pop going all out production-wise for the incredible remix and extended remix.
“Club Tropicana”, by Allan Jay and remixed by Matt Pop, is available to download and stream, right now, across all platforms, via SP Music. Grab your shades, pour yourself a cocktail, and press play.
