BTS and MONSTA X Videos

BTS and MONSTA X (also written as Monsta X) are two of the most popular Korean boy bands right now, and I'm a fan of both their music. So I thought today I'd do a round-up of their videos. :)


BTS

Let's start with BTS. The band name is short for Bangtan Sonyeondan, which translates in English as "Bulletproof Boy Scouts" and they're also known as Bangtan Boys. Their music started out in a "harder" hip hop style but these days it's more varied. It's interesting to see how it's changed. :)

BTS brought out their debut single album 2 Cool 4 Skool in 2013, and to date have released 3 Korean studio albums, Dark & Wild (2014), Wings (2016) and this year's LOVE YOURSELF: Tear; 3 Japanese, Wake Up (2014), Youth 2016) and their latest Face Yourself, and 6 EPS including O!RUL8, 2? (2013), , LOVE YOURSELF: Her (2017) and Map of the Soul: Persona which came out in April. In addition they have released 23 singles and several single albums and compilations.


Here are the BTS songs I've featured on the blog to date:

Plus here is IDOL, which was released in summer last year. It's from their third compilation album LOVE YOURSELF: Answer and there's also a version with American rapper Nicki Minaj.





MONSTA X

And here is MONSTA X. The band name refers to monsters taking over K-pop music and also comes from the French words for "my" (Mon) and "star "Sta". X is meant to "symbolise an unknown existence". They were a 7 member band but Wonho just left the group. MONSTA X's music started out in a similar style to BTS', but has also evolved over the years.

The group has released 3 Korean studio albums, The Clan: Pt 2.5: The Final Chapter (2017), Take 1: Are you there? (2018) and their latest Take 2: We Are Here; and 2 Japanese, Piece (2018) and Phenomenon (2019). Their 7 EPs include debut Trespass (2015), The Clan Pt. 1 Lost (2016), The Clan Pt. 2 Guilty (2016), The Connect: Dejavu (2018) and FOLLOW: FIND YOU which came out on 28th October. They have released 25 singles.

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
