Weekly Music Video

This week's video is Tike Tike Kardi by Iranian Swedish singer and producer Arash (full name Alex Arash Labaf). He was born in  Iran and moved to Sweden as a child. Arash released his  debut album (self titled) in June 2005 and has released two more albums since then, Crossfade (The Remix Album) in 2006 and Donya (World) in 2008. He is popular in Iran, Sweden and in other countries in the Middle East and Europe. Arash has released about 12 singles, including Tike Tike Kardi and Boro Boro which was used in the 2005 Bollywood film Bluffmaster! (the song is also known as Bure Bure).

I did a post on Bure Bure and Tweet's Call Me last year (they have the same music), which you can read here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2013/01/weekly-music-video_17.html*

Arash sings in Persian. His great grandfather was an Iranian Azeri (Iranian Azerbaijani) and he represented Azerbaijan in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. Always, his duet with Aysel came 3rd. He recently did a remix of the Iran Iran song for the World Cup.

I first heard Tike Tike Kardi at a party last year and thought it sounded similar to Bure Bure, so I looked it up and found out that the songs are both by Arash. Tike Tike Kardi came out in 2004 and it's on the Arash album.

*I've updated the post to include Arash's Boro Boro video.

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 ...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...
