Current Favourite Songs

Occasionally I write a post sharing my current favourite songs. It's about once a year and I've noticed that I've done it earlier and earlier each year! lol. You can see the previous posts at the links below:

So, these are my current favourites. :) For my "all time" faves, check out this post: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2014/08/top-10-songs.html

 

 

Alina Baraz-If You Let Me

A few months ago, I bought If You Let Me from American singer Alina Baraz's EP Sunbeam (released last September). It's still one of my favourite songs at the moment, I like the dreamy, relaxed vibe and find it quite soothing. (I'm still in need of chilled songs after the last couple of years!)

Visit my post about Sunbeam to see the lyric video: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/10/new-alina-baraz-ep.html

BTS- Home

A couple of months ago, I came across HOME, an older song by Korean group BTS on YouTube. It's from their 2019 EP MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA.

HOME is about how although they have become successful and can afford luxurious things, they still have a longing for "home" as in the support of loved ones and fans. They need somewhere/someone to come back to when things get hard.

I got an iTunes voucher for Christmas and this was one of the song I bought recently.

thuy- trippin'

I discovered American singer thuy's music last year. (Her name is stylised in lower case.). On of my favourite songs is trippin' from her EP "i hope u see this" (also written in lower case). 

trippin is about being in a difficult relationship. Please note it contains swearing. :)  



thuy's single "in my head" was also a Weekly Music Video last week: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/02/weekly-music-video.html

 

B Young- Livin' Easy?

Finally, I'm also into Livin Easy? by British rapper and singer B Young. It's from his debut album Differences which came out last August. I heard it before and liked it, but I've started listen to it more in recent weeks.

The lyric video was a Weekly Music Video last month: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/01/weekly-music-video_12.html

 

Hope you liked the post! :) What are you listening to currently?

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
