New K-pop Videos

Time for the first post of 2021! Hope everyone had a good New Year. :) 

I'm starting off with a couple of new K-pop videos. My last post just focusing on K-pop was in June, so it's been a while! 

Note: Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on all the videos to see English subtitles! :)


BoA- Better

First up is Better by veteran singer BoA. It's from her 10th album, also called BETTER, and was released on 1st December.

BoA is one of the most popular Korean solo stars (she is also well known in other Asian countries),  and  celebrated 20 years in the music business last summer! 

The BETTER album is BoA's 20th studio album (10th Korean language). The title track single also came out on 1st Dec.


For more BoA, check out her 2019 Christmas song Starry Night (I know Christmas has gone, but maybe you're missing it already!): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/12/christmas-songs-2019.html


KAI- Mmmh

This is Mmmh, the debut solo single of KAI (real name Kim Jong-in, or Jong-in Kim in the Western way) from boyband EXO and the supergroup SuperM. It's from his self-titled debut solo mini album which was released in November.

Mmmh actually came out on 29th November, so it's "new-ish" but I've been seeing the video a lot recently on the K-pop show Pops in Seoul. The song has a sultry vibe and sticks in your head.

NCT 2020- Resonance

Finally, here is RESONANCE,  the new single from boyband NCT. The group is made up of several units,  and this track sees all 23 members together. It is a compilation of 4 songs from NCT 2020 RESONANCE, the second studio album by the entire group. 

The album was released in two parts, Part 1 on 12th October and Part 2 on 23rd November. All 21 members from current units participated and 2 new members joined, Shotari and Sungchan.

The sub units are NCT U, 127, Dream and WayV (China based).  All the units have fixed members apart from NCT U, which changes members depending on the concept. RESONANCE is a mix of the songs Make A Wish (Birthday Song), 90s Love, Work It and Raise The Roof. It was released on 4th December.

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
