Today I'm sharing some new Bollywood, K-pop and C-pop! :)

Note: Although Bollywood is South Asian since it's Indian, I tend to feature it separately to East Asian music. That's why I've written "Bollwood/Asian in the post title.

 

Jhoome Jo Pathaan Song from Pathaan

First up is Jhoome Jo Pathaan Song from the new Bollywood film Pathaan. The video premiered on 22nd December but we're only halfway into January and the movie is due out later this month, so I'm including it! :) 

Pathaan sees superstar Shah Rukh Khan (also sometimes written as Shahrukh) play the title character, a spy/field agent who is called out of exile for a new mission. He teams up with a soldier (Deepika Padukone) to stop the private terror group Outfit X led by Jim (John Abraham), from destroying India. The film is set for release on 25th January, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu (the languages of Bollywood, Kollywood and Tollywood respectively).

The Jhoome Jo Pathaan video features Shah Rukh and Deepika's characters. The playback singers are Arijit Singh, Sukriti Kakar, Vishal and Sheykar (who make up the music duo Vishal-Shekar). Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on YouTube for English subtitles. :)

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
