V-pop Music and Dance 2023-2024

In February last year I did a V-pop round-up post featuring the Vietnamese posts previously shared on Star Sparkle, plus some new music. You can see that here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/02/v-pop-round-up.html

So for 2024, so I thought I'd share some more Vietnamese music and dance that I've featured since then, as well as new videos (plus one video that's older). :)

 

Music 

Music video for Ulala by Kim Kunni feat. T.R.I (released last July): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/weekly-music-video_13.html

 

LONA feat. Ricky Star- Thich hay la yeu con chua biet

This is Thich hay la yeu con chua biet by  Vietnamese singer LONA and featuring Ricky Star.

LONA's real name is Nguyen Ha Kieu Loan (it's Vietnamese so her surname/family name is Nguyen) and her stage name is Lona Kieu Loan, or stylised as just LONA.  She started out in beauty pageants, becoming 1st runner-up of Miss World Vietnam in 2019 and also representing Vietnam at Miss Grand National 2019.

LONA launched her music career in 2020, by competing on the reality TV show King of Rap (Series/Season 1), reaching the Top 10. I think she started releasing her own singles in 2021. Her music is mainly hop hop/alternative hip hop and her most well known songs include Thich hay lay yeu con chua biet- Acoustic Ver, Think Bout Rap, Cong, So Cold and Do Anh Quen Duoc Em ("Challenge Me to Forget You" in English. Her most recent single is Vì Yêu Anh (Dance Version).

Thich hay la yeu con chua biet features rapper Ricky Star. It was released in March 2022.

LONA- Vì Yêu Anh (Dance Version)

And here is Vì Yêu Anh, Lona's latest single. The title translates as "Because I Love You" in English. This is the dance version and came out last December. There's also a remix called White Valentine Version which was released in March. Plus,  LONA did a dance cover of this (see below under the Dance section).

BIGDADDY x EMILY- YÊU NẮM 

Next up is YÊU NẮM, a recent single by real life celebrity couple,  rapper BigDaddy (real name Tran Tat Vu) and singer Emily (Emily Nguyen/Nguyen Huong Ly). Both are stars in Vietnam and confirmed their relationship in 2011. They have two children (son Bao Nguyen and daughter Bao Uyen) and got married last summer. 

YÊU NẮM was released for Valentine's Day (14th February), with the video premiering the day before, on the 13th. I think the title is "Love Hold" or "Holding Love" in English.

I believe the song is something to do with a TikTok  dance trend and also the mobile game Arena of Valor/Lien Quan. (I used Google Translate for some of this information, so apologies for any mistakes!) :)

There's also an R'n'B version with music producer and singer Machiot. And Emily did a dance video too (see Dance section). This version seems more of a pop/dance style.

Dance

My Dance Videos post from last summer includes a dance cover of Mong Một Ngày Anh Nhớ Đến Em (Huỳnh James and Pjnboy version) by B.K.A.V Dance Team: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html

 

Vì yêu anh (Dance cover)- Lona, Phương Nhi

And this is a dance cover of LONA's single Vì yêu anh (see above for the music video). It's performed by LONA herself and Vietnamese model Phương Nhi (full name Nguyen Phương Nhi) who was the runner up of Miss World Vietnamese 2022 and Miss International Vietnam 2023. 

It's only a short video (about 31 seconds), but I still thought I'd share it. :) It was uploaded in January.

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
