Sorry the 2nd post is later this week. I wasn't feeling very inspired, but then I had a post idea and didn't get it finished in time yesterday. :) In August, Indian girl group W.i.S.H released their debut album Sweetburn. The 4 member group (India's first girl group in 23 years!) debuted back in March 2024. Their music (known as I-pop) is a  mix of Hindi and English, with both Indian and international influences .  W.i.S.H's creation was inspired by the rise of K-pop globally, although they want to create their own path . Sweetburn, which was released on 10th August, consists of 8 tracks, including W.i.S.H's debut single Lazeez and their other previous singles Galti featuring Mxrzi , Therapy and Headrush.  The lead single is Bolo Bolo featuring Panther, which came out in July and newer singles are Ishaare and Drameboss.  I think they've released about 7 official singles from the album. Their latest single is Desi Girl, which is a stand-alone single. It;'s ...

Today's video is YAP, the latest single by American singer Justine Skye . She's taking a new direction with her music, turning to dance rather than R'n'B. It follows her recent single Oh Lala(a dance/Rn'B song) with Haitian Canadian music producer and rapper  KAYTRANADA  and the dance track Bitch in Ibiza, released in May and July respectively. YAP came out on 3rd October.      Justine fan?

Back in February, I wrote a post called Asian Dance in Public Videos, which featured some Dance in Public (dance covers of songs performed in public places) videos from various Asian music genres. You can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2025/02/asian-dance-in-public-videos.html Today I thought I'd do a follow-up post, sharing more videos. :)   [INDONESIAN POP IN PUBLIC] no na - 'superstitious' Dance cover in LONDON- CADENCE  First up some Indonesian pop/I-pop! This is a dance cover of "superstitious" by Indonesian girl group  no na . It was their 2nd single, released as a double A-side along with "falling in love" in May. The cover is performed by British dance crew CADENCE, who describe themselves as "friends who like to dance". The video (which was uploaded in July) was filmed in London and features Kelly as Esther, Isabella as Baila, Amida as Christy and Kaylee as Shaz.     Keep up with CADENCE at these links:  Instagram:  htt...

Today's video is The Show by Singaporean singer Gen Neo . It's his latest single and was released on 28th October. The song is from Gen's new EP Through Thick & Thin, which is due for release in January next year. The EP (which follows his previous 2024 EP  Push&Pull ) marks a new chapter for him and is described as "not just music but pages from a personal diary, which also embodies Gen's healing journey". The Show is a chilled R'n'B song (English language) about the struggle to keep some things private when you're in the digital spotlight, especially when you're going through a hard time. The music in the background makes me think of an older song but I'm not sure which one. This is the official audio and has lyrics onscreen. I'll update this post if there's a music video in future. :)     Want more Gen? Check out these posts: Music video for his 2024 single The Test from Push&Pull (plus links to more songs):  https:/...
