Now we're already getting to the end of the first quarter of 2023! So today I'm sharing some more new music. :)


The Weeknd & Ariana Grande- Die For You (Remix)

Canadian singer The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) has released a new remix of his song Die For You, which features American singer Ariana Grande. He and Ariana have worked together several times before, on the songs Love Me Harder (from Ariana's 2014 album My Everything), off the table (from Ariana's 2020 album Positions) and Save Your Tears (from The Weeknd's  album After Hours, which was released in 2021).

Die For You was originally released back in September 2017 and is from The Weeknd's 3rd studio album Starboy (released in 2016). There has also been an unofficial remix with American singer SZA. The Die For You Remix was released on 24th February, with a lyric video uploaded on The Weeknd's channel. A day later Ariana uploaded the official audio on her channel.

It would be cool if Ariana brought out some more new music this year. At the moment she's busy with the two-part film adaptation of the stage show Wicked though. :)

This is the audio on Ariana's channel, where I first came across the song:



And here is the official lyric video from The Weeknd:

Adanna Duru- Write On Me 

Next up is Write on Me by Adanna Duru. She is a Nigerian American singer from Orange County in California who rose to fame after appearing on American reality singing shows The Voice and American Idol. She also has over a million followers on TikTok.

Adanna's songs include ur a b*tch (written in lowercase), POP!, Write on Me and Stay featuring Leven Kali. She describes herself as an R'n'B Afrobeat pop artist and just released her debut EP NAPPY HOUR. According to her YouTube bio, this is Part 1, so Part 2 will follow in future.

Write on Me is from NAPPY HOUR and the video was uploaded yesterday (10th March), the same day that the EP was released. As people have mentioned in comments on YouTube, the song has a nice calming/relaxing vibe.

TWICE- SET ME FREE

Finally, K-pop girl group TWICE have just released a brand new single. It's called SET ME FREE and is from their 12th mini album READY TO BE, which came out yesterday (10th March). READY TO BE is the group's 12th Korean language EP.

SET ME FREE was also released yesterday. It is the lead single from the mini album, although it comes after the release of Moonlight Sunrise (TWICE's 2nd English single) in January, which is on READY TO BE as well.

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
