Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Perfume by NCT DOJAEJUNG. They are the 5th and newest sub-unit of Korean boy band NCT. The full group had 23 members at one time but currently consists of 20. The other 4 sub-units are NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream and WayV (Chinese unit). Two more were supposed to debut (NCT Hollywood and NCT Tokyo) but there have been no further updates on them so far.

NCT DOJAEJUNG are more of an R'n'B group than the other units. There are 3 members- Doyoung (real name Kim Dong-young), Jaehyun (Jeong Jae-hyun/Yun-o) and Jungwoo (Kim Jung Woo). Their name comes from the main band name (NCT stands for "Neo Culture Technology") and the first initials of the members.*

The group was formed in early 2022 and made their official debut in April this year, with the release of their debut mini album Perfume and the title track.

Perfume is an R'n'B electropop song about wanting to leave your scent on a loved one so you're not forgotten. Both album and single were released on 17th April. 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
