Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Crush by Bella Poarch and Lauv. Bella (real name Denarie Bautista Taylor) is a Filipino American social media influencer and singer. She was born in the Philippines, adopted by an American and Filipina couple aged 3 and later moved to America. Bella sadly had a difficult childhood, growing up in an abusive home. She has said that working on her first EP Dolls helped her to confront the trauma from her past.

Bella joined the US military in 2015, aged 17. After leaving, she entered the public eye in 2020 when she started posting gaming, cosplay and lip syncing on the social media platform TikTok. She went on to join YouTube and Twitter.

In May 2021, Bella launched her music career with the release of the single Build a B*tch, having signed a record deal with Warner Records. She released her debut EP Dolls in August 2022. Her other singles are Inferno with American singer Sub Urban, Dolls, Living Hell and Crush. 

Lauv (real name Ari Staprans Leff) is an American singer who has also built a career as a songwriter for other artists. The first song of his to gain attention (as a singer) was The Other, released in 2015 , which he co-wrote. He went on to release his debut EP Lost in the Light in September 2015. 

His breakthrough single was I Like Me Better, released in May 2017. A year later he brought out the compilation album/playlist I Met You When I Was 18 (The Playlist) and his debut album How I'm Feeling was released in March 2020.

To date Lauv has released 9 more EPs (the most recent being 2020's Without You), two remix albums and one more studio album, All 4 Nothing (2022). Artists he's worked with include American singer and songwriter Julia Michaels (who he also dated at one time) Australian singer Troye Sivan, British singer Anne-Marie, American band LANY and Korean boy band BTS.

Crush was released on 15th September. It's a lighthearted  pop song about how it's fun to have a crush rather than getting involved in a relationship. Please note that the song contains swearing. :)

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).

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
