Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer. They are an Australian band consisting of 4 members. The group was formed by schoolfriends Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood and Michael Clifford in 2011. They started out by posting cover songs on YouTube and were joined by Ashton Irwin at the end of 2011, who they found through Facebook.

5 Seconds of Summer (or 5SOS) signed a deal with Sony ATV Music Publishing, then  released their first original song Gotta Get Out  and debut EP Unplugged in June 2012. Debut single She Looks So Perfect  came out in 2014, followed by their self titled debut album in the summer 2014. To date 5SOS have released 7 EPs-  including their debut, Somewhere New (2012), She Looks So Perfect (2014), Good Girls (2014) and She's Kinda Hot (2015); and 3 studio albums- 5 Seconds of Summer, Sounds Good Feels Good (2015) and their latest Youngblood. Their singles include Out of My Limit, She looks So Perfect, Don't Stop, Good Girl, She's Kinda Hot, Girls Talk Boys, Want You Back and Youngblood.

Youngblood is the second single from the album of the same name, which came out on 15th June. The single  was released in April but I've only seen the video on UK TV this month. In May it became the band's 2nd No 1 in Australia (the first was She Looks So Perfect). I haven't liked their other songs that much, but I like this one. :)




Update 18/8/18: There's now another music video called Official Video (the other one is called Alt Version) that was uploaded on 2nd August. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RJSbO8UZVY

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

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
