Christmas Music Round-up

It's a week till Christmas today (seems to have come round quick again!), so this week's post is festive themed. :)

Back in 2018 I wrote a post called Christmas Music, featuring previous posts with Christmas videos and sharing some songs not previously posted. You can see that here (heavy on Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande!): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/12/christmas-music.html

For 2021 I'm sharing Christmas songs posted in the last 3 years, plus some new ones. :)

Mariah Carey, Khalid and Kirk Franklin- Fall in Love At Christmas

My favourite singer Mariah Carey loves Christmas and her song All I Want for Christmas Is You is a modern classic!  For the 2nd year in a row, she is having a TV Christmas show. Following the success of last year's Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas Special, this year she is hosting Mariah's Christmas: The Magic Continues which premiered on Apple TV+ on 3rd December.

Unfortunately, if you don't have Apple TV+ (like me) then you can't see it. :( But you can see a trailer here: https://www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2021/11/apple-tv-and-mariah-carey-unveil-trailer-for-holiday-spectacular-mariahs-christmas-the-magic-continues-set-to-debut-globally-on-friday-december-3/

Mariah's latest single is Fall in Love at Christmas which features singer Khalid and choir director and gospel singer Kirk Franklin. It was released on 5th November and was featured on The Magic Continues. Her twins Monroe and Moroccan appear in the video, which was actually directed by Mariah and her boyfriend choreographer/dancer Bryan Tanaka. (You may remember him from her show Mariah's World!) :)

Stray Kids- 24 to 25

Now for some K-pop! This is 24 to 25 by Korean boyband Stray Kids. It's from their holiday special single album Christmas EveL, which was released on 29th November. The other songs on the single album are lead single (and title track) Christmas EveL and Winter Falls, and Domino (English version).

24 to 25 is a sweet song about spending Christmas with a loved one,  a message to the fans who are called "STAYS" (the fandom name is STAY). Click "Subtitles/Closed Captions" for English subtitles! :)

 



Christmas EveL

If you're not feeling too festive, check the video for the title track Christmas EVeL ("Christmas Evil" instead, which is more of an "anti-Christmas" song!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57n4dZAPxNY

 

Winter Falls  

And here is a Winter Falls, a song about reflecting on a break-up during the winter season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4qK-Gzyws0

 

Hope you liked the post! Merry Christmas/Happy Festive season (depending on what you celebrate!). :)

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
