Weekly Music Video

This week's video is Kya Say? by Indian singers Sukriti and Prakriti, and Indian rapper, singer and film producer Badshah. 

Sukriti and Prakriti Kakar are twins. Both are playback singers for Bollywood films and their careers got started with Goti Song from Nasha and the title song of Boss in 2013. Prakriti also sang the title song of Tutiya Dil in 2012. Their older sister Akriti is a playback singer too.

In addition, Sukriti is known for the hit songs Pheli Baar from the 2015 film Dil Dhadakne Do and Kar Gayi Chull from Kapoor & Sons, which also featured Badshah (see below), Fazilpuriaand Neha Kakkar (no relation). Most recently she provided the female vocals for Jhoome Jo Pathaan, from the new movie Pathaan.

Prakriti's hits include Katra Katra from Alone (2015), the female version of Bheegh Loon from Khamoshiyan and Dil Ki Darji from Stree (2018). She recently was the playback singer for Ae Pagli from the 2022 film Maja Ma. Both sisters have also released non-film songs, including Mafiyan, the Indian remix of British singer Dua Lipa's single Levitating, Naari and Dobara.

Rapper, singer and film producer Badshah (real name Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia) is well known for his Bollywood/Hindi language music, and also releases Haryanvi and Punjabi songs. He got his start in the music business in 2006 as part of the hip hop group Mafia Mundeer (along with Yo Yo Honey Singh) and went on to launch a solo career. He released his debut Haryanvi song Kar Gay Chull in 2012 and it was later featured in the 2016 Bollywood film Kapoor & Sons (Sukriti also sang vocals; see above).

Badshah got his big break with the release of the Punjabi-Hindi hip hop single DJ Waley Baby with Aashta Gill, which came out in July 2015. In 2018 he released his debut album O.N.E- Original Never Ends. His latest album 3.00 AM Sessions came out on 7th February.

His other singles and film songs include the remix of Saturday Saturday from the 2014 Bollywood film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (which also featured the twins' sister Akriti), Wakjra Swag with Navv Inder (Punjabi), She Move It Like featuring Warina Hussain, Tarefaan from the 2018 film Veere Di Wedding, Genda Phool featuring Payal Dev, Paani Paani with Aastha Gill and Players featuring Karun Aujla and Devika Badyal.

Kya Say? was released last December. It's a Hindi language song (with a couple of English lines!). I think that Kya Say translates as "From what?" or "What you say?" in English. Maybe "Say what?" I couldn't find a consistent translation but "kya" is "what" in English. If you're a Hindi speaker, please let me know the correct translation! :)

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
