Weekly Music Video

Today's video is I No Go Give Up On You by emPawa Africa and Mr Eazi. emPawa Africa is an Africa wide mentorship programme run by Mr Eazi, who is originally from Nigeria but based in Ghana.

I No Go Give Up On You is the lead single from the new EP One Day You Will Understand, a joint release from Mr Eazi and members of emPawaAfrica. The song was co-written by Mikel and was released in May. This is a visualiser (or visualizer) video.

It has a nice, summer vibe. I think it's sung in Pidgin. You can see the lyrics in the info box on YouTube. :)

Mr Eazi launched emPawa Africa in 2018. He asked for demo submissions from artists across Africa. 100 artists were chosen and their videos were funded, then 10 finalists were chosen to take part in a masterclass in South Africa. Check out a video by finalist by Bey T (from Kenya) here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/06/weekly-music-video_26.html

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
