Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Inta Habibi by French singer NEJ'. She is from Toulouse and started singing when she was young, after being inspired by American singer Mary J. Blige. She moved to Paris at 18 to pursue her music career. 

NEJ' released her debut album Enchantee (French for "Nice to meet you") in 2019 and the deluxe edition Enchantee (Black Edition) the following year. To date she has brought out three more albums- SOS (Chapitre 1) in 2021 and the follow-ups, SOS (Chapitre 2) and SOS (Chapitre 3), both released last year. Her singles include Petit Chat (Little Cat), Paro, Ma Colombe, Je t'a(b)ime and Inta Habibi.

NEJ' started out on the French urban music scene and her current music is a mixture of French urban/American R'n'B and North African. 

Inta Habibi is a an Arabic and French language song. The Arabic title translates as "You Are My Love" or something similar in English. "Habibi" is a term of endearment that means "beloved", "darling", "dear", etc.

The song is from NEJ's latest album SOS (Chapitre 3) which came out last November. The music video was uploaded on 10th May.

P.S. Sweden's Loreen won Eurovision on Saturday with the song Tattoo. It's the second time she's won, the first time being back in 2012 with Euphoria. 

The UK came second from bottom, which was a shame. I think the performance could have been better to be honest, but it's a pity for Mae Muller. It was a decent song and performances can vary. :) I voted for Armenia, who did a lot better than us, coming 14th!

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
