Asian Groups- Thai Boy Band + Indonesian Girl Group

This is the next instalment in my Asian Groups series, which shares music by East and South East Asian groups. Today's post is about ATLAS from Thailand and GLAS from Indonesia. I've previously featured an Indonesian girl group on the blog (V1RST) but it's my first time featuring a Thai boy band! :)

I came across both groups in this music video which features South East Asian pop groups: https://youtu.be/y8trBoLYP8g


ATLAS

ATLAS is a 7-member T-pop (Thai pop) boy group formed by XO Entertainment. Their name comes from the Greek God Atlas and the maps (world atlas).

The members are leader Junior (real name Napat Osathai), Jet (Patpaiboon Opassuwan), Poom (Dechathorn Wanwanichkul), Nice (Vitchapol Somkid), Erwin (Supaklit Pennors), Muon (Nanon Nampeeti) and Tad (Thapana Chongkoirattnaporn. Erwin is Thai and French and was born in Paris. The other members were born in Thailand. 

ATLAS debuted on 7th December 2021 with the digital single MAYDAY MAYDAY. They released their debut album ATLAS: The 1st Journey the following June. Their other singles include Lolay, My Treasure, Boyfriend and their latest, Lovefool. 


MAYDAY MAYDAY 

Here is the music video for their debut single MAYDAY MAYDAY, released in December 2021. It's a mix of Thai and English. Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on YouTube for English subtitles! :)

GLAS (GLASS)

GLAS is a self-produced 4-member Indonesian girl group. Their music is I-pop/Indo pop with some dance influences.

Their name was originally GLASS and  stands for "Girls Loud And Super Strong'. However they dropped the last S and rebranded as GLAS when they left their record label Star Media Nusantara. The 4 girls represent 4 different shards of glass coming together to create a crystal.

There were originally supposed to be 5 members,  the top 5 contestants from Z-POP Dream Indonesia (part of the international music project Z-POP Dream which searches for Asia's next stars) but in the end they debuted with 4. The members are leader TRIARONA (full name Triarona Kusuma) who also  formed the group, DENISE (real name Denissa Fitri), EUGINE (Euginia la Vina) and PB (Phoebe Natalia). 

GLASS were supposed to debut in early 2020, but due to the pandemic they didn't release their first single till a year later. Their debut single MINE (with sickzombies) came out on 22nd January 2021. 

Their other singles include OUT, BLOOM and their latest, SWEET LIE. I don't think they've released an album yet.


MINE 

This is their debut single MINE, which was in collaboration with  Indonesian dance/bass music trio sickzombies (stylised in lower case).  It was released in January 2021. 

MINE is a dance/EDM song with Indonesian and English lyrics.  English subtitles are available on the video. :)




SWEET LIE 

And here is their most recent single SWEET LIE, which was released in January. It's a pop song with dance vibes and also a mixture of Indonesian and English.

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
