New Dua Lipa Album

British Albanian singer Dua Lipa has just released her debut album self titled album. It feels like I've been waiting for this for ages! lol. It came out yesterday (2nd June) but I originally thought it was going be released in February.

Note: This post refers to the Deluxe edition.


I like the album but I think I was expecting to like it more, or rather like the new songs more (ones I haven't already heard). I've heard quite a few of them already and bought a couple on iTunes last year (Last Dance and Be The One). So those two are my favourites and also New Love and Blow Your Mind (Mwah). I also like Lost In Your Light featuring American singer Miguel. I don't like Hotter Than Hell or Room For 2 so much but Thinking Bout You has a nice, chilled out vibe. Out of the songs I'd never listened to until yesterday, I like New Rules, and Dreams best and Genesis and Begging are quite good as well. I may get the album in future since I only have 2 of the songs from it so far and I do like quite a few. If not, I'll just buy individual songs on iTunes. So now here are a few of my faves. :)

First of all here's Last Dance which was I featured as my Weekly Music Video in March 2016. It was the first song of Dua's I'd heard, although it was actually her third single: http://starsparklex.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/weekly-music-video_23.html


For New Love (her debut single) and Be the One check out this post: http://starsparklex.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/more-dua-lipa-videos.html

Be the One was re-released at the beginning of the year with a new video. You can watch it here:

Then here's Blow Your Mind (Mwah), the audio: http://starsparklex.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/weekly-music-video.html



Here's the official video for Lost In Your Light featuring Miguel. I first heard this in April and didn't like it so much, but I've found it's grown on me. :) The chorus is catchy and sticks in my head.




                              



This is New Rules. It's an "album visual" so there's a video to go with it.




Update 21/9/18: Realised I hadn't linked to the New Rules music video from last summer, so here is is: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2017/07/weekly-music-video_26.html


And finally here is Dreams. The video for this is also an album visual.

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 ...

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.
