Weekly Music Video

This week's video is The Way You Move by American singer JayDon. His real name is JayDon McCrary (his previous stage name was J.D. McCrary) and he started out as a child actor, appearing on a couple of episodes of American TV series K.C. Undercover in 2015 and going on to voice Young Simba in the 2019 remake of The Lion King. 

In January 2018, JayDon released his official debut single Inviting All of You, going on to become the youngest solo artist to sign with Hollywood Records (part of Disney Music Group) that summer. He also released the single My Name in August and his debut EP followed in April 2019.

Last year, JayDon changed his stage name from J.D. McCrary to his birth name JayDon and released his first single under that name in November, Ah! Ah! featuring American rapper 310babii. 

This March, aged 17 (he's since turned 18) he signed to singer Usher and record producer L.A. Reid's record label mega, in partnership with music executive Larry Jackson and record executive Ike Youssef's media company gamma (whose other signees include Nigerian singer Juno and my favourite singer Mariah Carey!).

JayDon also released the single I'll Be Good in March, which sampled Usher's 2001 single How Do I Say. It was his 2nd single of the year, coming after Lullaby in February, which featured alt R'n'B singer Paradise, L.A. Reid's son.

JayDon's other singles include Keep in Touch, Closer to Christmas, Calendar, Trip and Boujee Baby with American social media star and musical artist Zeddy Will, and his acting credits include American comedy series The Paynes and the 2019 comedy film Little.  

The Way You Move is JayDon's latest single and was released in August. It's an R'n'B song that has vibes of the early-mid 00s.

 

 

Update 3/10/25: JayDon just uploaded a brand-new video! It's a visualiser for his latest single Caviar from his debut mixtape Me Me My Songs & I (due out on 10th October). 

Caviar came out today (3rd Oct). Watch the official visualiser (or visualizer) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxa-AoHuGZE

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

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 D...
