Weekly Music Video

This week's video is Make it Hot by Jamaican/American trio Major Lazer and Brazilian singer Anitta. Major Lazer was founded in 2008 by American record producer Diplo, and British DJ Switch. When Switch left, he was replaced by Jamaican American DJ Walshy Fire and Trinidadian DJ Jillionaire, and the duo became a trio. Jillionaire also left and was then replaced by American DJ and record producer Ape Drums.

Major Lazer's music is electronic dance mixed with various genres, including reggae, dancehall and house. To date they have released 4 studio albums- Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do (2009), Free the Universe (2013), Peace Is The Mission (2015) and Music Is The Weapon (2020. In addition, they have brought out one compilation and several remix albums and EPs. They also have an animated TV series based on them!

The group have collaborated wth many arists, and their hit singles include Lean On with DJ Snake and MØ, Who Am I with Katy B and Craig David, Cold Water with Justin Bieber and MØ, and Leg Over Remix with Mr Eazi, French Montana and Ty Dolla $ign. My favourite of these is Lean On. :)

Anitta and Major Lazer have also worked together on the song Sua Cara with Brazilian drag queen and singer Pabllo Vittar. Anitta is set to release her 5th album Girl from Rio this year.

Make It Hot was released in June 2019. It's a Spanish language song.  I first saw the video on TV channel Trace Latina which they started showing it in the UK in 2019. They took it away last year for some reason though. 

Update 13/5/23: I had to replace the music video:





There doesn't seem to be an official upload of the music video, so I'm also including a link to the official lyric video (in case this one gets removed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GIcodbY9fc

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
