More Summer Songs

Back in August 2016 I did a post of my Top 10 Summer Songs. You can check it out here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2016/08/top-10-summer-songs.html


Now since it's summer again and we're having what it one of the hottest days so far (31/32 Celsius in some places, which is hot for the UK!), I'm sharing some more summer songs. :)


Robin Thicke feat. Pharrell Williams

American/Canadian singer Robin Thicke's single Wanna Love You Girl has a great exotic beach vibe and was released in August 2005. It was a Weekly Music Video back in May 2012: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2012/05/weekly-music-video_30.html


Hadise- Yaz Günu

Turkish Belgian singer Hadise's 2015 single Yaz Günu translates as "Summer Day" in English and has a suitable video to accompany it! It was released in May 2015 and I featured it as a Weekly Music Video in July that year: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2015/07/weekly-music-video.html



Mila J- Kickin' Back

Mila's single Kickin' Back is on her EP 213 and was released in July 2016. It has parts that are similar to Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff's Summertime (which is in my first Summer Songs post) and Aaliyah's A Girl Like You. Nice, laid-back summer vibe.  I featured it as my Weekly Music Video 2 years ago: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2016/07/weekly-music-video_13.html

 
Update 23/7/21: I have since learnt that all 3 songs sampled Kool & the Gang's Summer Madness! :)


Calvin Harris + Dua Lipa- One Kiss

Calvin and Dua's  On Kiss came out in May and it suits the summer season: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/05/weekly-music-video_41.html

Yemi Alade- How I Feel

Nigerian singer Yemi's single How I Feel features lots of beach and yacht scenes! It was a Weekly Music Video in June: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/06/weekly-music-video_36.html
5 Seconds of Summer- Youngblood


Their name has summer is in it, so I'm including 5SOS' latest single Youngblood! Check it out here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/06/weekly-music-video_27.html



Jessi- Down

Korean American rapper and singer Jessi's latest single has a tropical sound and beach video which fits this time of year. Jessi (full name Jessica Hyun-ju Ho) was born and raised in the US and moved to Korea aged 15. She's been releasing music since 2005. Her debut EP Un2verse was released in July 2017.

The video for Down was uploaded to Youtube on 6th July. It's a mixture of Korean and English.

Hope you're enjoying the summer. I danced at an event with my belly dance group at midday today and it was really hot! I'm staying indoors for the rest of the day, lol. It's 30C (86F) in my town this evening.


Hope you like the songs! What is your summer soundtrack? :)

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences.  The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
