New K-pop Releases

It's been a while since I featured new K-pop releases on the blog. Actually, I don't think I've done a post with just new K-pop songs since the beginning of last year! I did share some K-pop videos from my YouTube playlist last month though.

So today I'm sharing some new Korean releases. :)

Chung Ha- Stay Tonight

First up is Chung Ha (also written as Chungha), a solo singer (who was also a member of now disbanded project group I.O.I. This is Stay Tonight which was released in late April, so it's new-ish, lol.



Chung Ha- Be Yourself

And here is Chung Ha's latest release Be Yourself, which came out on 9th June. It's an upbeat dancey pop song, and is actually an ad for Sprite as part of the Korean Sprite summer campaign! The man in the video is model Jung Hyuk.




Slightly off topic question: Which do you prefer 7Up or Sprite? 7Up has always been my favourite, I used to drink it regularly for years but I cut down on it for my dental health (mostly stopped drinking it). I occasionally have both 7-up and Sprite now though.

Chung Ha also recently collaborated with rapper pH-1 on the song My Friend, which was produced by Zion T. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NV2rzS7VJQ



GOT7- NOT BY THE MOON

This is NOT BY THE MOON by boyband GOT7. Again it's "new-ish" since it was released in  April! It's the lead single from their 11th EP Dye, released on the 20th.

It's a love song, quite intense sounding if you see the English subtitles! (Click "Subtitles/closed captions" while viewing on YouTube). The English translation of the lyrics on YouTube is "Dye yourself with me, so I can be inside you, and also you can be inside me. We can be together forever".



Check out the performance video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xegzT6pPIb0

And for Jackson Wang's solo song 100 Ways (English language) visit this post:


NU'EST- I'm in Trouble


Here's the latest from boyband NU'EST.  It's called I'm in Trouble and is the title track of their 8th mini album [The Nocturne], released on 11th May. The song is about realising you're in trouble when you first fall intensely in love with someone.



MONSTA X- FANTASIA

Finally here is FANTASIA, the new single from Monsta X. It's from their latest mini album FANTASIA X which came out in May. FANTASIA was released on 27th May, the same day as the mini album, I think.



Back in February Monsta X released their first English language album! You can read my post about it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/02/monsta-x-debut-english-album.html


So that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed the post! :) What are your current favourite K-pop songs?

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
