Piya More x Aashiq Banaya Aapne by Neelam Patel

And here is a dance to the song  Piya More from the 2017 Bollywood film Baadshaho (which stars one of my fave actors Emraan Hashmi) and Aaashiq Ban…

This week's video is LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME by Japanese girl group BananaLemon. The group was formed by the producer STY and is made up of 4 members- leader and main vocalist Nadia (who is Japanese and Filipina and also has Spanish. Chinese and Russian heritage), other lead vocalist Saarah (who is half Japanese and half African American and lived in Los Angeles as a child), R!No and Mizuki. There's also said to be a "hidden" 5th member, like with the K-pop group K.A.R.D. The meaning of BananaLemon is a mix between sour and sweet.

The band started out in 2017 with the song #SorryNotSorry. (Though I don't think they've made their official debut yet). Other singles include GIRLS GONE WILD, FOREVER YOUNG and I WANNA, I WANNA.

The LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME video came out on 30th July. Click "Subtitles/Closed Captions) when viewing  the video on YouTube to see English subtitles!



There's also a dance practise video for LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME: https://www.youtub…

I did a post on new K-pop releases in June but haven't done a general one for a while, so today I'm focusing on some Western and international music.


Era Istrefi feat. Konshens- Oh God

First up this is Kosovar singer Era Istrefi's new one Oh God. It features Jamaican dancehall artist Konshens and was released on 26th July.

Please note that the song is explicit. :)





K.A.R.D- Ride On The Wind

Korean group K.AR.D have a new single called Ride on the wind. It's from their 3rd mini album of the same name, and I think both were released on 25th July. (It's a year since they released their
debut mini album. Doesn't seem that long!).


Like Jessi's Down, this is another video with a nice beach and summer vibe. :)



Shakira and Maluma- Clandestino

Colombian singer Shakira's last single is Clandestino ("Clandestine in Spanish). Her full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, and she is probably best known to Western audiences for her English language  singles such Wh…

This week's video is 079ME by B Young. He's a British rapper and singer who previously released the single Jumanji this year.

079ME came out in June. The song and video have a nice summer vibe :)
