Weekly Music Video

 Time for the first Weekly Music Video of the year! :) This is lose you (stylised in lower case), a duet by Nigerian singer and record producer CKay and French singer Ronisia. 

CKay (real name Chukwuka Ekweani) is a popular singer who is best known for his 2019 single Love Nwantiti. He started out in a group called cre8tive music and then launched a solo career, releasing the promotional single Bad Musician Bad Producer in May 2016 and singing to the Nigerian record label Chocolate City. He released his debut EP Who the F*ck Is CKay in September 2016.

CKay's breakthrough hit in Nigeria was the single Container, which came out in March 2018. He released his second EP CKay the First in August 2019. The second single from the EP was Love Nwantiti which was released at the same time and did very well in Nigeria, going on to become a hit abroad in places such as the UK, mainland Europe, Latin America and Australia. There is also a remix called Love Nwantiti (Ah Ah Ah,) featuring Nigerian singer Joeboy (a protege of Mr Eazi) and Ghanaian singer Kuami Eugene, which was released in February 2020.

In February 2021, CKay brought out his 3rd Ep Boyfriend (through the record label Warner Music South Africa) and his debut studio album Sad Romance was released in September 2022. His other hit singles include Beggie Beggie with Nigerian singer Ayra Starr, Emiliana and WATAWAI with Nigerian American singer Davido and South African rapper Focalistic. His latest single is By Now.

CKay's music is a mixture of Afrobeats, R'n'B, dancehall and Alté, and he describes it as "futuristic Afropop" and Emo-Afrobeat.

lose you is from Sad Romance. It's a mixture of English, French and Pidgin (I think) language. This is a live performance, part of Deezer Sessions, an exclusive programme from Deezer France. The video was uploaded in October.

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).

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
