Asian Groups- Filipina Girl Group

Last summer I wrote a post featuring two Filipino groups, boyband SB19 and girl group BINI. You can read that here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/08/filipino-groups.html

I've also written about other Asian groups (East/Southeast Asian). I thought it would be fun to make a regular (or perhaps semi-regular like C-pop Saturday!) series, so today I'm featuring the Filipina girl group KAIA. :)

 

KAIA is a 5 member P-pop (Pinoy pop) group formed by ShowBT Philippines (like SB19) in 2021. The group name is from the Cebuano word "Kinaiya", a noun that describes  your inner character. The fandom name is ZAIA.

The members are leader Angela (full name Charlotte Angela Caperas Hermoso), her twin sister Charice (Charice Andrea Caparas Hermoso), Charlotte (Charlotte Erica Fransdel Pendon Secretario), Sophia (Sophia Alexandra Ogayon Mercado and Alexa (Alexandra Pelagio Averilla). There was also a pre-debut member called Joanna Marie Lara, who left the group in early 2022.

The girls released their pre-debut single KAYA in December 20221 and then made their official debut in April 2022, with the single BLAH BLAH. They have also brought out 3 more singles- Dalawa, TURN UP and their latest, 5678.

 

KAYA

Here is the official performance video for KAYA, their pre-debut single. It's a mixture of Filipino (or Cebuano? and English. 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
