New Music Releases

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week; I wasn't feeling well yesterday. I hope to get back to the normal posting schedule next week! :)

 

It's been ages since I've done a new music post, so today I'm sharing a few new releases from various genres. :)


BM- STRANGERS

This is STRANGERS, the latest solo single by Korean American rapper BM (real name Matthew Kim) who is a member of the K-pp co-ed group KARD. It's his 2nd digital single, taken from the single album of the same name. It's the follow up to his first digital triple single album THE FIRST STATEMENT, which was released in July last year and the stand-alone single Lost in Euphoria (LIE), which came out in January.

As well as the title track, the new single album contains the single Bad Intentions. It was released on 9th August. STRANGERS starts with a mellow rap style and then moves into a faster song with a dance beat. This is the visualiser.

Brazilian singer Anitta (real name Larissa de Macedo Machado) has teamed up with American rapper Missy Elliot for the new single Lobby. It's from the deluxe edition of Anitta's 5th album, the multilingual Versions of Me, originally released in April. 

Versions of Me contains songs in Portuguese (Anitta's native language), Spanish and English. The deluxe edition (which came out on 26th August) features 5 new tracks- Lobby, El Que Espera (Spanish for "The One Who Waits") with Colombian singer Maluma, Yo No Se (I Don't Know) featuring Brazilian rapper L7nnon and Dominican producer and artist Maffio, Practice featuring American rapper A$AP Ferg and record producer Harv and a remix of Dançarina ("Dancer" in Portuguese) with Brazilian singer Pedro Sampaio, French singer Dadju, American singer Nicky Jam and Brazilian funk artist MC Pedrinho.

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
